Quick Observations

-My niece has sprung two teeth! Is that exciting or what?

-Happy 3 year wedding anniversary J & G!

-T.O. commit suicide? There's no way someone with an ego that big would want to get rid of himself.

-I missed 'House' yesterday!

-Howard K. Stern (Anna Nicole's attorney) alleges he's the father of her baby daughter.

I'm living in Seattle

and don't even know it. This place rains every other day on a good week. It just keeps pouring and pouring and the forecast, you guessed it, rain for the next 5 days.

I got

called on today in class to answer something and.....drumroll please.....I sounded like an idiot!!!! Uuuggghhhh! I can't remember what I said but whatever it was, it wasn't good. The prof was pretty nice about it though which was much appreciated. There's nothing like holding up 79 students as they wait for you to answer the question posed. Anyway, they hold me up too when they're called on, so there, we're even!

The guy that sits next to me has been sneezing for the past few days. Not just regular sneezing, noooo, the kind of sneezing that makes the guy at the very back of the class say "bless you". It's that loud and I can only imagine the invisible spray matter that gets on me! Did I mention the girl that sits behind me has a hacking cough? Wondering if she's holding her mouth as she coughs is keeping me up at night. That Southwest Airlines commercial is running through my mind, "Wanna get away?" Wishful thinking at this point.

The Reason For

the posting below is: Last week I went for a function that welcomed new graduate students to the school. One of the speakers very eloquently quoted "Our Deepest Fear" below. Then today, on Larry King Live, Oprah and Friends were on and guess who was there, Marianne Williamson, the author herself. (Many people wrongly think it's by Nelson Mandela because he quoted it during his inauguration speech). So I thought if there ever was a sign for me to post something, this was it. That's where that came from.

Our Deepest Fear

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

-Marianne Williamson-

Unfair and Unbalanced!

Shame on Fox News reporter Chris Wallace for sandbagging Pres. Clinton in an interview that aired today. These right wing idiots are still asking why Clinton didn't catch Osama bin Laden.

What about Bush, he's had 5 years since 9/11......what has he done except get soldiers killed, NOTHING!!!!! Has anybody on Fox News sat him down and asked him why he hasn't captured Osama? Didn't think so.

Worked Out

today with my friend Y. Afterwards, got to play tennis and if I must say so myself, I am pretty damn good. I took two Phys. Ed. classes in undergrad, tennis and golf, I knew it would pay off someday.

I'm studying now and I'm completely stumped by yet another obtuse case, Coastal Video Communications Corp. v. The Staywell Corp. I can get nutshells on Lexis or Westlaw but if I get called on I will be screwed.

Just incase you're wondering, these are the classes I'm taking in order of preference:

Contracts
Torts
Civil Procedures
Criminal Law
Legal Research

Current Reading

I couldn't resist!

My Sister

thought she was on to something when she had a bad dream and decided to check up on me in the wee hours of the morning......I was being attacked with knives or something to that effect.

Don't quit your day job just yet!

In An Effort To Tame Rowdy Fans.....This

Buckeye Students,

This is an exciting weekend for THE Ohio State University. We open the Big Ten season by hosting a very good Penn State team and WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.

Wear RED, and once the game starts we need you to cheer loudly for your BUCKEYES.
Be loud and proud.

Remember, too, it is important to act with CLASS and DIGNITY at ALL times. Treat our opponent and their fans with RESPECT.

Let's show everyone in college football why we have the "BEST FANS in the LAND."


Jim Tressel
Head Football Coach

Still Studying

and it's 1 am. Civ Pro has the most obtuse cases I've ever read. It's taking me forever to read 22 pages of assigned homework. I've spent most of the day studying today and yet....like the energizer bunny, still going......and going......and......

I read somewhere today that the Socratic method is like leading a lamb to the slaughter, how true! Just when you think you've never spoken so eloquently in your life......bam.....

I don't think I'm making any sense so I'll stop and get back to studying......sigh

Project Runway

There's 4 contestants left and Michael should be the winner hands down!

Can't wait to see the collections they presented at New York's fashion week. Stay tuned to Bravo TV Wed 10pm central.

Finally

got all my bills setup for paperless notification and online bill pay. Gotta love technology.

Go Bucks! Beat Cincinnati 37-7. Next......

I need to study!

For some reason, I can't seem to crack open a book today. My tasks for today were to finish reading Monday's assignment for Torts and Contracts, but here I am, it's 8pm and I still haven't started doing a damn thing. So my rescheduled tasks are to finish my Legal Research assignment that's due on Tuesday (I hate this class because assignments are time consuming, aren't graded, but have to be done all the same), and to finish either Torts or Contracts.

Tomorrow night, I'm going out with the girls, and on Sunday, there's a 'recommended' meet and greet from 3-6pm, and ofcourse football, so I'm trying to get most of the work done before Sat night. Wishful thinking at this point.

Necessary Evil

I've been wanting to get renters insurance since I got here, just never got around to it (buying insurance online doesn't give you all the discounts that might apply). So today after my class, I struck out to find an insurance agent (didn't matter what company) and Nationwide insurance was up first. After 15 minutes, I got a quote of $332/year. I thought this a little high and since I hadn't gotten a quote from anyone else, I told the lady I needed to think about it.

Allstate insurance happened to be just down the street from them, and 15 minutes later, I got a quote of $142/year. I signed the dotted line, payed the premium, and off I went. The agent was supernice too....he gave me magnets and pens.

You know how you hate to drive in the snow, not because you can't drive but because you feel everybody else can't, well that's why I get renters insurance. It's not that I think I'll forget to turn off the stove and burn my apartment to the ground, my concern is with my idiotic neighbor who'll leave the candle burning right next to the drapes before she goes to bed, that's who's costing me $142!

Spinach

The FDA issued an alert on E.Coli tainted spinach and Ohio was among some of the affected states. Personal injury attorneys are salivating at the amounts of money they'll be raking in once they find out the culprit company that was packaging this spinach.

Two personal injury lawyers met at a cocktail party.“How’s business?” asked the first.“Rotten,” replied the other. “Yesterday, I chased an ambulance for twenty miles. When I finally caught up to it, there was already another lawyer hanging on to the bumper!

My friend

is driving me nuts. She's constantly moaning and groaning about people. "...I don't understand why she didn't get it the first time Prof X explained it....."; "....now why did he have to ask that question, that is soooo stupid.....", etc. If you know it all, what the hell are you doing in law school? Sit for the Bar and start practicing!

Today we had a few students acting as state and defense counsel and they were arguing their points, and at the end of class, as sure as the sun will come up, "....was that boring or what....?" She always has some crazy shit to say about everything.

So if you were me, would you tell her to "shut up already" and lose your lunch buddy, or would you choke it down to immaturity and let it go?

9/11

Nuff said.

Predicted

I was 3 of 4 on my predictions:

1) Buckeyes did beat Texas

2) Justine Henin-Hardene didn't win the women's US Open title

3) Roger Federer did win the men's US Open title

4) Colts did beat Giants

Interesting Day

Visited Blacklist, OH tonight. I went to L's house to see C. who's relocating. C. ended up not showing up because she was still packing but I got to meet L. who graduated last year from Moritz. She now has her own practice and she seems to be doing great. Had a beautiful pad, nice car, etc. Ended up watching the football game there. I also tried a bottle of Malt Guinness, it was disgusting.

Earlier, I took my laptop to the laptopguy because my USB ports have malfunctioned. Just like the Geeksquad, he told me he suspects that it's either the computer needs to be rebooted ($125) or the motherboard is faulty and needs to be replaced ($600). For either one of these fixes, they need to send out the laptop to some sort of service center and would need to keep it for quite a few days. So the laptop guy tells me I could always use my expansion slot to add some usb ports ($55), if I don't want to spend the time or the money to find and fix the real problem. Yipee!

Go Bucks! They did put the smackdown on Texas 24-7!!

Predictions

1) Bucks will put the smackdown on Texas 38-17

2) Justine Henin-Hardene will win the women's US Open title 7-5 6-3

3) Roger Federer will win the men's US Open title 6-3 6-4 6-7 6-2

4) Big Bro Peyton will show Lil Bro Eli how the big boys do it. Colts will beat Giants 35-21

Civ Pro Class

is the only truly socratic class I have. The rest of them you know when you're on call or the professor just calls on volunteers (I hope this lasts). So last night I was too tired to finish all the civ pro reading. I decided to get up 30 minutes early in the morning to finish up. Ok, it's now 7:45am and I need to get going. I still have one more page to finish up reading, but I'm like, there's no way he's going to get to the end of Pennoyer so I'll get back to it after today's class.....

9:30am, ten minutes before the class ends and then the prof says,"....let's finish up the notes on the last page, I'll go down the row starting with Mr A...." I'm sweating bullets because I'm sitting six spaces from Mr A and there're ten questions on the last page. You know how you have a clue about what's going on.....I had none. Here's how it sorta went:

Mr A what's the answer to question 1?.......NO!!!
Miss B what is the answer?......Yes, and why's that...Ok good
Miss C what is the answer to question 2?......Yes, why's that.....NO!!!!
Mr D why is Miss C completely wrong?.....Ok ok, NO!!!!! You were on the right track but you fell off. Let me see....where was I....(insert me hyperventilating because I'm two spaces off).....
Miss E why did Mr D fall off the band wagon?.....Ok ok good. Now we'll stop there because my time is up........

Lesson learned, be prepared, be very prepared!

Goodbye Mate!

Steve Erwin, the australian crocodile hunter, died today after being stung by a sting ray. It's tragic that such a daring man was brought down by such a nondescript animal. Crikey!

This weekend, just like most since law school started, was spent studying and watching tv. It's been raining for what seems like a week straight.....enough already. My civ pro professor was on hiatus the last week, so that was one less class I had to study for. Well, he's back and Pennoyer v. Neff is up first.

I have my first quiz in legal research tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.

Yet Another Loss

USA basketball team got beat today by Greece 101-95. Boo hoo hoo hoo.
