Bored, I was browsing Wikipedia, and I came across Zooey Deschanel’s page which says that she’s engaged to Ben Gibbard of Death Cab. That blew my mind because it took be back to 1999 or 2000 or so when Death Cab was accessible even to a loser like myself. Kevin and I met/interviewed Death Cab’s bassist back then, and now Ben Gibbard is going to marry Zooey Deschanel who is a legit movie star in my mind and an actress I’ve been smitten with since I saw her in All the Real Girls. Makes me think: man, did I not dream big enough? I could just be getting nostaligic/sentimental because I’m listening to Built to Spill There’s Nothing Wrong with Love right now. In the legal world, for people my age, I’m not a superstar but I’m no slouch in terms of where I’m at and what I’m pretty sure that I can accomplish. Ya know, I kick it with federal judges, Supreme Court clerks, preeminent legal scholars, etc, on a regular basis. The only problem is that the stars of the legal world are mostly pretty ugly.
