When a Plan Comes Together
Babes in Washington
Here’s a new blog modestly described in a note by its authors as “a stupid blog about life and law school in DC.” It’s far from stupid. It's the effort of three law school friends and it includes a link to the Babes in Poland blog. Two of these bloggers spent a semester in Cracow. One writes: We started the original Babes in Poland blog as a way to talk to our families while we were gone. Well, it got passed around and the next thing we knew there were 10,000 hits on the webpage. Crazy. After we got back, we got a ton of emails asking us to continue. So we did and here we are. From the most recent post:

I received an early graduation gift from my mother this past week so I guess that means I better graduate or I'll have to give it back.


My mother, upon hearing a rumor that her daughter and friend were going to be appearing in court, did the only thing a mother can do in a situation like that and bought me a Louis Vuitton briefcase….


What Really Matters
WonL
A Louisiana native now DC law school student has written a series of posts about Katrina. And out of the storm’s chaos and destruction comes clarity. Among the entries:

Sept. 3: I should be there. I should be serving food and giving water. I should be crying with my family and providing a shoulder for my friends to cry on. I feel guilty for being here. My childhood and all of my friends and family are just falling apart and I am here. I should be there.

Sept. 5: That being said, I am shutting things down on this blog for a while to focus my time and energy on
more important matters. To any of my readers local to the Washington DC area, I will welcome any help you can provide.

Blogging through the Ages
City Sparkle
Our writer, the AsianMistress, analyzes blogging types, among them: married bloggers, single bloggers, 30-something bloggers, and the 20-something blogger.
The 20-Something: The "what the hell am I doing" blog. Generally its musings include job stress, dealing with no longer having a constant network of friends to depend on, and dating debacles. It's wondering where the best bar/club is at and how to flirt in a whole new league…
Also Noted:

Kathryn on ….
Wants bloggers to reveal themselves over drinks. It's an open invite, but some of DC’s mystery bloggers are singled out.

Father Jim Tucker’s photo work on Dappled Things.

Bureaucrat by Day is
walking down Connecticut and sees a fellow sitting in a chair near Dupont Circle, wearing a t-shirt that says "I work hard at my job..."

Friday night there’s a Katrina benefit by local singer Laura Burhenn co-sponsored by DCist, reports The Goodspeed Update.

The Scoop, a new blog by an intern, who writes about his
DC adventures.

A Note: In yesterday’s post about Strange Violin Music, I failed to note that this is the new home by the writer of The Daily Bulletin From Dating Hell.

Hey, thanks for mention! I feel famous -- in an utterly anonymous way.
