Welcome to Jeremy's Index. This is an index to the posts over at Jeremy's Weblog.
Not everything I've written is indexed here, just the longer pieces and stuff it makes sense to index (e.g., not "random thoughts on "American Idol," nothing that's just a paragraph-long anecdote or was once timely and is no longer relevant or interesting or random stuff "about my day").
Some things were hard to categorize. I've done my best. Song parodies are about 1/2 of the way down, if that's what you're looking for. The law firm stuff from this summer is at the top, even though chronologically it makes sense farther down. About a third of the way down is serious-ish stuff that's probably most useful as far as "advice." A few things in other categories are listed again there. Like I said, hard to categorize some of this stuff.
Stuff I like especially much is in red instead of blue. That may be useful, or just self-indulgent. I don't know. I picked stuff I remember and didn't go back to re-read anything, so there's more newer stuff flagged than older stuff, and I flagged the whole "serious" category because it's hard to pick favorites. All of my "real" posts are like children. Terrible analogy. Forgive me. That would make my song parodies like my illegitimate children I guess, or the children I love less. I should stop now. On with the index.
