Feeling the pinch? How to find deals on drinks and gas.

Why your doctor is running late.

Posted on October 30, 2008
I read an article about a guy who sued his doctor for waiting for 3 hours. It got me to thinking. The usual appointment length is 15 minutes. This includes time for the nurse or MA to bring you back, get your weight, do your vital signs and let the provider know you're all set and ready to go, all of which can take 5-7 minutes or more depending on how talkative you are and what the appointment is for (and therefore what the nurse or MA needs to do with you before the provider comes in)...

For the record: you cannot get the flu from a flu shot!

Posted on October 28, 2008
The flu shot does NOT contain a live or weakened virus! It's an "inactivated virus", which means it's completely and totally dead. It's impossible for a dead virus to make you sick because only living viruses can replicate itself. If it can't replicate itself, it can't mount the full-scale attack needed to overwhelm your immune system and make you sick...

Sarah Palin: proud redneck

Today I killed a gnat... with my eye.

Posted on October 24, 2008
I'm not kidding. I actually killed a gnat with my eyeball.I was in a hurry to get to my car so I could get to class. Because I'm a good law student. :)I looked to my right to adjust my purse, and when I turned my head to look forward, there it was. Coming straight for me, right at my face...

In the end, there's just one question.

Posted on October 22, 2008
E pluribus unum: "Out of many, one."Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us -- the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of "anything goes." Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America -- there is the United States of America...

Well, you can't win 'em all... Congrats to Tamba Bay

Posted on October 20, 2008
Well, needless to say I'm disappointed that the Red Sox didn't win last night. Honestly, either team deserved to be there, though, and I can't begrudge a team's first trip to the World Series. Of course, I won't be sad if they lose, either. :)Still, in the meantime, congratulations to Tampa Bay...

Friggin' Red Sox.

Posted on October 19, 2008
Seriously, a heart attack. Oh well. Game 7, here we come! I'm just not sure how much of it I'll be able to watch... :)

You know you're in bad shape when no one wants their songs to be associated with you!

Posted on October 18, 2008
The McCain-Palin is trying to emphasize the fact that Sarah is a woman. Not just a woman, but an attractive woman. Apparently her usual campaign theme song is Shania Twain's "She's Not Just a Pretty Face" According to CNN's political ticker, "In another reminder that the campaign is actively promoting Palin?s feminine qualities while on the stump, the vice presidential candidate took the stage to Stevie Wonder?s ?Isn?t She Lovely?,? a departure from the usual campaign theme song, Shania Twain?s ?She?s Not Just a Pretty Face...

You know Tampa Bay's feeling a little nervous when...

Posted on October 18, 2008
their hitter, Bartlett, leans into the ball rather than make an attempt to avoid getting hit. The ump should've called him out. Still, I'm not sure about the Sox on this one. In every win they've had against Tampa Bay they've managed to just squeak by them...

I can't take anymore of this

Posted on October 17, 2008
The Red Sox are going to give me a heart attack before this season is over.

Enough already!!! Are you sick of the mudslinging? Do you want to get to the truth?

Posted on October 15, 2008
Then check out politifact.com.It's a website run by two newspapers--one in Florida, one in Washington, D.C.--that researches the claims made in tv and radio ads, by bloggers, in chain e-mails and even in the candidates' public appearances themselves! They give you the truth behind the claims...

The difference between day and evening law students

Posted on October 04, 2008
Some comments from a thread at The Volokh ConspiracyRecommendations to law school faculty and deans:--It is highly unfair that there are students in the first year of the evening program that aren't working. Who do you think has an advantage when one student is taking 10 hours and studying all day, and another is working all day and trying to squeeze in law school reading on the weekends and on the metro? Is there anything that can be done about this? Evening3LFirst, advice to would-be advisors: Evening program students may finish in one more year than their day student counterparts, but that difference amounts to one fewer class a semester...

5 things men and women want.

Posted on October 04, 2008
This is pretty accurate, actually. The list for women: It's been the subject of movies, books and countless conversations: What do women really want? Specifically, what do women want from a mate? We know, guys, that it can seem impossible to guess what women are looking for, but it's really not that complicated...

lots of people getting red tattoos, lately

Posted on October 04, 2008
Or at least, I'm assuming so, since that's the way a lot of people have been finding my blog for the last couple of days, including the last four people who looked today. They're all looking for info on red tattoos turning pink!

Would you pass the US citizenship test?

Posted on October 04, 2008
Give it a shot here. I got all of them right! It helps to be interested in politics and taking Con Law, of course. :)

Totally Nucular!

Posted on October 03, 2008
Nook-you-lar. Can someone please tell Sarah Palin that it's pronounced "nuclear". Noo--clear". Not Nook-you-lar. You want the second most powerful job in the country. That involves not a small amount of brains. Well... ideally, anyway. I, for one, want someone smarter than me in that job...

False "friends"

Posted on September 26, 2008
The "friend".I'm sort of hating her right now. Maybe resenting is a better word. Yet again tonight I have not been invited along, but three of my friends have. This time, for the first time, I noticed how deliberately she throws it in my face. Constantly talking about everyone else who's invited (about 8 or 10 people), saying "oh, I'm forgetting someone...

Woah. No friggin' way....

Posted on September 23, 2008
Are you serious? No way... It can't be. I have to open it now (at the mailbox). It couldn't be...It is.No way.That was my first reaction to realizing that I was holding in my hand an envelope from UNH's ticket office that contained season tickets to UNH men's hockey...

A personal life update

Posted on September 18, 2008
Ok... I don't want to jinx anything, damn it, but here goes. There's this guy. I met him at a bar (I know, I know!). He's a good, good guy who seems really into me, is smart, funny, kind, laid back, confident, witty and sexy all in one. Although I don't know how and I'm scared of screwing it up, we recently got through the first three months...

But... isn't it cheating?

Posted on September 18, 2008
Ok, maybe not. But at some point I have to decide whether to accept any accommodations Suffolk may offer me because of my ADHD. Specifically, more time on the exams. The thing is, who wouldn't want that? Do I really need it, though, especially if the medication is working? All growing up, I hated it when people were easy on me in a competition...

Happy Birthday, Constitution!

Posted on September 17, 2008
From www.constitutionfacts.comAs Benjamin Franklin left the Pennsylvania State House after the final meeting of the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787, he was approached by the wife of the mayor of Philadelphia. She was curious as to what the new government would be...

Body parts? In Property???

Posted on September 09, 2008
We actually discussed bodies and body parts in Property tonight. Who would have thought? I'll elaborate later. For now, my poor, tired brain needs some sleep.

China gets life in prison

Posted on September 09, 2008
Too tired to write much tonight, but thought you'd be interested to know that China Arnold was sentenced to life in prison without a chance for parole yesterday.

Like stuff that's one of a kind?

Posted on September 06, 2008
Then make your own! Wow, am I procrastinating. It's not like I don't have Con Law, Prof. Responsibility or Property homework to do. But still, check out this guide to stuff you can make yourself in Boston. Some of it is kind of cheap. I mean, obviously you make your own sundaes at Cold Stone Creamery, or your own stir fry at Fire and Ice (which I recommend, by the way--great atmosphere, fabulous drinks, and it's so much fun to make your own stir fry with their wide array of ingredients!)...

China Arnold escapes the death penalty

Posted on September 04, 2008
After 5 hours of deliberation, the jury couldn't decide whether to recommend the death penalty or life in prison. Because they did not come to a unanimous decision, the woman who killed her baby in such an unthinkably horrible way will be sentenced to life either with or without parole...

Massholes

Posted on September 04, 2008
There's a reason why there's a slang word for bad drivers from an entire state. Massholes suck.

"Porn has a socially redeeming quality"

Posted on September 02, 2008
or "what I learned tonight in Property". Seriously.We reviewed the International News Service v. the Associated Press and the Cheney Brothers v. Doris Silk cases tonight. Both of them are about "quasi-property" or intangible property. The policy discussion turned into the question of whether you would want to squelch improvements in services or technology in order to fiercely protect certain entities' property rights...

Woman found guilty of microwaving her baby to death

Posted on September 02, 2008
I know that there's usually more than meets the eye when it comes to media coverage of most events. Still, I was glad to read that China Arnold was convicted of aggravated murder for putting her three week old baby girl in the microwave during a drunken argument with her boyfriend and turning it on, killing her daughter...

So.... who are you?

Posted on August 27, 2008
Who are you, who read my blog?Come on. Tell us a little about yourself. You can be anonymous. Make something up, if you want. Do you know me in real life? How did you find me if you don't? Are you in law school, too?Spill.Mostly 'cause I'm bored. And curious...
