Heat Wave and Journal Selection
It was brutally hot most of this week so I didn't go out much with the exception of an excursion to the Jewish Museum to see the permanent collection on the 3rd and 4th floors. It was very moving and I spent 3 hours there after work Thurs when the heat wave wore off. I didn't get a chance to enjoy the cafe or the live jazz so I guess I'll have to go back sometime. Today at work we had a sort of going away party for one of the interns who is leaving for cape cod next week. We went wandering around Bedford Ave looking for a good restaurant and finally settled on Planet Thai. They had a great lunch special and a wonderful imported beer selection. I had a jamaican beer called Dragon Stout along with my green curry. Very chocolatey with a cherry finish. A couple other people got Allagash White, a very tasty light fruity beer. I would highly recommend both to the beer afficionados in the crowd. Anyway, drinking with lunch still couldn't take my mind off the tough decision of which journal to pick. I thought I had laid the matter to rest last week when I went crazy trying to pick between Business Law and Transnational. I conditionally accepted transnational assuming that was that. Then I heard back from the journal of law and social problems and of course I put off making a decision until the last minute. It was a very tough choice again just like last week. I don't know why, but I had just assumed I probably wouldn't be accepted to all the journals I applied to so I didn't really think to hard up front about which I wanted the most. In the end I went with Soc Probs this time. I think it was the right choice since I want to have some time to focus on my note. I've done enough cite checking already. Tonight I'm going to go to my first NY baseball game at Yankee Stadium to unwind. I'm not a big fan or anything but it's just one more thing I ought to try while I'm in the city. And I need to decompress. Yelling at a sporting event ought to do the trick.
