Well, those who outed themselves as partisan fools by voting against Roberts’ confirmation are scrambling to find a good excuse for voting against the man who could easily become one of the best Chief Justices in a long, long time… and that’s aside from the two obvious reasons of “Well, duh, BUSHitler appointed him, so [...]
Apropos only of the fact that I’ve spent an ungodly number of waking hours in the library in the past four days, I have to say that I have some of the best luck ever — some fo the best-smelling ladies in the law school end up sitting near me when I’m here. That’s pretty [...]
Because, to be honest, I wish it was one. Unfortunately it is not the weekend. It is Tuesday. And I am sitting here in the library. I’ve been at the law school since about 8:15… excepting, of course, 45 minutes for lunch and 45 minutes for dinner. That’s because I’m hardcore. It’s also because this week [...]
I will be the last Alabama fan to claim that this year is ‘Bama’s year. We’re a much improved team, but we have a long way to go… but ESPN’s Gilmore needs to read his own writing in his column Return to glory, specifically the following: “For the last few years, Alabama (4-0), Nebraska (3-0) and [...]
Things I’ve done today instead of studying… no particular order: Eaten a bowl of cereal Talked on AIM Installed some more software onto the lappy Finally got my wireless mouse working Read some blogs Talked on AIM Looked at the Intramural schedule Answered some email Ate leftover Olive Garden for lunch Thought about doing laundry Researched web-based calendars Hated them all, decided to use outlook instead Transfered stuff [...]

The main reason for the students’ dramatic improvement, say officials and parents in the county, which includes [...]
Lessons in passive-aggression are still given out daily over here apparently. So Rachel opts out of Weekly Dinner (which Laura has taken over in my absense). No big deal, right? Sure, it was tacky to actually tell your host that you didn’t have fun at the last one, but there’s no requirement to be gracious and [...]
Most of us intuitively know this, but sometimes we need a little reminder: Multi-tasking is bad… mmmkay? If you take pleasure in the difficulties of others, Dating Is Hell is something you should read daily. To wit, “Unless you are a llama, you shouldn’t spit on your date. Oh and bruising someone on the first date [...]
Today was the day a small group of us had to give a closing statement in torts while the rest of the class wrote jury instructions. I think our side gave a much more persuasive argument and though my part was not at all without it’s problems, I think it went really well. Three of us were [...]
Last night I got my laptop. I spent all. freaking. evening. Setting it up and, let’s be honest, just playing with it. So far, so good. Wireless at the house was giving me fits until I realized that there were at least two other full-strength networks on the same channel. Those fuckers were here after [...]
