Hi, I'm Karla. This is yet another attempt to start a new blog and incentivize myself to just... write.
[I think, though, the word "write" itself holds too much weight and puts a lot pressure on me, even for small silly places like this not-so-hidden blog, which makes me lose all motivation to write in the first place, unless there's some big epiphany and conclusion in the end. The goal isn't that, tbh. Perhaps, we can just say, this is a place to simply ponder on things.]
What do I do? I'm an intellectual property lawyer. Actually, everything you need to know about my CV is basically all on LinkedIn, because that's just how it is these days in our profession. But I think this is not the space for that.
So, instead, here are other unnecessary facts about me: I've seen Carly Rae Jepsen live twice. My most listened-to podcast is Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend. I obsess over Saturday Night Live and Jeopardy reruns. I’ve read the Fleabag script so many times it’s basically my emotional support document; I own an alarming number of She-Hulk comics and merch (it’s not hoarding if it’s about a green, sarcastic, lawyer superhero living her best chaotic life, and who I completely identify with, okay?) And if you ever see me eating something with pure, unbridled joy? It’s salmon sashimi. Always salmon sashimi.
