Sex and the City Redux

Posted on November 06, 2008
As I pointed out yesterday, I have recently become totally engrossed in Sex and the City. In college I was a total Friends junkie, and frankly I still am. I was a sophomore in college when the Friends ended. My roommate and I had a great evening of junk food and drinks, curled up on the couch and watched the last first run episode of our most favorite show...

The Day After

Posted on November 05, 2008
I totally agree with ImNobody yesterday was great and will certainly be one I remember for a long long time. But I won't be engaging in any post-morteums, gleeful celebrations, or any rehashing of how things were won or lost yesterday on my blog. It's over...

Where were you when??

Posted on November 04, 2008
Since tomorrow is likely to be one of the biggest days in modern American history, no matter what the outcome of the election is, I thought that this "where were you when" meme was a somewhat appropriate meme as I'm sure the question "where were you when Obama/McCain won the 2008 election?" will be added to the list come wednesday morning...

Couldn't Have Said it Better

Posted on November 04, 2008
So much has already been said about this election, and much much more will come in the days that follow, but this post by a blogger over at Talking Points Memo is absoulutely the best account I have read, and probably will read pertaining to this election...

Yes We Did

Posted on November 04, 2008
Words simply cannot explain how this moment feels. This is something for the history books that we'll be telling our kids about years from now.

Saturday Night Live is Back

Posted on November 03, 2008
No matter what the outcome of November 4 is, there is no denying that this election season has been fantastic for the comeback of Saturday Night Live. In case you missed the great McCain sketches from last night here they are!McCain/Palin QVC Commercial (and I must say that Tina Fey has been totally BRILLIANT as Sarah Palin!)Weekend Update with John McCain:And just a friendly reminder from this post a few days ago, if you haven't done so already and you are eligible please make sure to vote on November 4th!!!

Happy NaBloPoMo 2008

Posted on November 02, 2008
It's November first, which means it's National Blog Posting Month (aka NaBloPoMo). The challenge is to post every day of the month. This can be easy for those of you who post almost everyday already, but for someone like me to tends to take quite a few hiatuses, especially when life gets stressful...

Affirmation

Posted on October 30, 2008
I went to a lunchtime presentation at my school today with a panel of recent graduates who all passed the most recent bar exam in my state. They talked to us about what studying was like, how they prepared, what happened on exam days, etc. I was RELIEVED to hear every single one of them say that taking bar classes in law school wasn't necessary for passing the exam...

The Election of a Lifetime

Posted on October 29, 2008
I realize that I am pretty young when it comes to politics and elections (heck this is only the 2nd presidential election that I have been old enough to vote in), but after many years of schooling and hearing stories from my parents and grandparents, I got a little emotional filling out this historic ballot today:No matter what your polticial affiliation is, you can't deny the fact that this election is one of the most historic of our lifetimes...

Need Some Advice

Posted on October 28, 2008
I'll probably regret this later because I am likely to get conflicting information and end up totally confused, but here it goes:My very LAST semester of law school is finally upon me and I have no idea what to take!!! Should I focus on bar classes heading into the bar exam or should I take classes more geared at what I want to do (criminal prosecution)? Is it important to have a more well-rounded list of classes on your transcript should I ever want to get out of criminal prosecution?? AHHHHH!!!The subjects tested on my state's bar (besides the 6 tested on the MBE) are:CorporationsTrusts/Estates/WillsFamily Law (rules specific to my state)Civil Procedure (rules specific to my state)Secured Transactions or Commercial PaperAdmin LawOf those courses listed above the ONLY one I have taken so far is, well NONE...

High School for "Adults"

Posted on October 22, 2008
A post by Kel over at A Woman in Law School today reminded me of the shock/horror/and somewhat amusing realizations I came to during my own 1L experience. Right after reading that post I hopped on over to Virgin in the Volcano and noticed her great quote on her blog: "Good lord...

2.25 years and still know nothing...

Posted on October 21, 2008
I'm done with a total of 2.25 years of law school, which means I only have .75 more to go. And yet I still feel like I know absolutly nothing, which really isn't all that much different than how I felt heading into first year finals. I was at work yesterday, my boss asked me a "hypo" and to please give her my "off the top of the head answer" and I literally froze...

Things I love about Fall

Posted on October 14, 2008
Many of my friends @ useless law hate this time of year because it's starting to get cold and the days are getting shorter, which means summer is definitely over and another winter in useless city is about to set in. I thankfully don't live in one of those places where the winters are horrible and miserable for months straight, but it can get cold and it does snow...

I can do this too

Posted on October 10, 2008
Bar results for my state came out today. I was so thrilled to see that every single one of my friends who took the bar this past July passed!! I was nervous on all of their behalf's this morning waiting for the results to be posted, and I was so relieved and excited to see all of their names on the list (I'm in one of those evil states who still posts the results as a list of names so everyone immediately knows who did and did not pass)...

Time Flies By

Posted on October 07, 2008
It's astonishing to think that just about a year ago I was a litigation virgin, it seems like an absolute eternity since that entry and the anxiety about my first trial. I got to thinking about this today because I have a DUI trial tomorrow at my internship, it's just a court trial and the defense attorney is stipulating to all of the test results coming in...

Fall Makeover

Posted on October 05, 2008
I finally decided it was time to move on over to the new blogger templates coded for XML, so after hours of trying to figure out just how to do that I think I've finally got everything set up! Let me know what you think of this layout- it's pretty similar to the old one, except now I have the ability to add fun widgets over to the left side bar...

Palin Roundup

Posted on October 05, 2008
In my opinion, the SNL skits of Tina Fey portraying Palin have been PRICELESS- just in case you're one of the last people on earth who hasn't seen them yet, or if you're like me and you just love to re-watch funny things over and over here's a roundup of the SNL Palin skits, along with some of Palin's actual greatest hits...

So Much to Say, Not Enough Words to Convey?

Posted on October 02, 2008
As I?m sure many of you have noticed, posting on this blog has become pathetic at best and horrendous at worst. So what?s been going on? Well, 3rd year has started, first semester is about half way done, I?m still plugging away at my internship in the DA?s office, and I am still horribly over-committing myself to far to many activities, so much that I don?t know anymore how the hell I find time to sleep...

Reason Why My Olympic Dreams Are Dead

Posted on August 09, 2008
I remember growing up when the olympics rolled around, my friends and I used to pretend that we were athletes at the olympics. We would stage various types of competitions out in the back yard and we even had makeshift podiums built out of cardboard boxes to recieve our hard earned gold medals...

Paris for Prez?

Posted on August 05, 2008
It's only early August and I'm already sick of political ads. I think elections are important and I'm kind of a politics junkie, but I am soooo thankful for Tivo because it means I can fast forward through all of the garbage that seems to be on a constant loop these days...

Luck

Posted on August 05, 2008
This recent post over at Ana's reminded me of a quote a friend of mine shared with me by Garrison Keillor:"Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known...

Good Luck Bar Takers!

Posted on July 29, 2008
Just remember, in just about 48 hours you'll finally be able to go to the real bar and drink yourselves silly!! Good Luck Everyone!

I've Been Hanging Around

Posted on July 27, 2008
I'm not sure if anyone is still out there, and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if everyone has deserted my blog, I did after all pretty much disappear for a solid 2 months preceded by an entire spring of sporadic at best posting. I really don't have much of an excuse, but I do feel bad, after all I don't really like when blogs I regularly read suddenly come to a halt without explanation, a sentiment I realize is shared by others...

HOORAY

Posted on May 21, 2008
DAVID COOK WON!!!!!!!!So very excited right now :)PS: Loved the Guitar Hero commercials but nothing (not even David Cook) can top the original:

I'm Confused

Posted on May 15, 2008
I haven't had a political rant lately, frankly I should be working on getting my last take home exam done right now, but after some procrastination browsing CNN I decided I just had to post this:McCain Predicts Iraq War Will Be Won by 2013. Wait a minute, I thought the Mission was Accomplished back in 2003??? (insert sarcasim here!)Funny how quickly John McCain changes his tune:And we thought Kerry was a flip-flopper...

I love David Cook

Posted on May 14, 2008
Seriously, I have been watching American Idol since season one (yes I'm a NERD) there has NEVER been anyone as good as DAVID COOK!!!!His first song, First Time Ever I Saw Your Face was phenominal, I had chills, and I don't even like that song!!!!! Chris Daughtry was great a few seasons ago, and I love that his band's CD skyrocketed to the top of the charts, but I think David Cook takes the cake for best all-time Idol contestant...

Sick

Posted on May 12, 2008
Being at Useless Law School really stinks this time of year, it seems like everyone else is already done with school this year, but yet all of the lucky students at Useless Law School have a final week of exams to look forward to this week instead of more fun things, like doing nothing...

Real Life Facebook

Posted on May 07, 2008
I know I've been on Hiatus for awhile, school has been crazy. Sorry for disappearing, I promise I'll be back to regular blogging once 2L year ends next week :-)In the meantime, a friend of mine sent this video to me, it was too great not to share!!

Personal Space

Posted on April 17, 2008
Dear lady at the starbucks across the street from Useless Law School standing behind me in line at 7:01am this morning,I don't know you, and I don't really care to, it is early in the morning, I am cranky and I need my liquid crack that comes in the form of a venti cinnamon dolce latte...
