Paris "fashion" show

Posted on March 02, 2008
Recently I saw pics from the Paris "fashion" (I use the word loosely) show. The outfits spoke for themselves but I spoke for them anyway.tree hugging, vegetarian, left wing, lesbian law student buddhist cat lover

A few tips for the young chicks

Posted on January 28, 2008
I forget how old I am sometimes. I wasn't paying attention for like, 10 years so once in a while I remember I've already seen my 40th birthday and am surprised. Apparently, time goes on whether you are paying attention or not. Also, shit changes. Here's my list so far...

The thrown bra vs. the mortgage

Posted on January 18, 2008
My friend was helping her mom pick out a wedding dress, which I imagine is an odd experience. Things just aren't as simple as they used to be, are they? Thank God. I'd shoot myself or at least be drunk 24/7 - if I had to live in some "Leave it to Beaver" world...

My first day at grownup skool

Posted on January 02, 2008
So today I started my new job, which is an internship that turns into a grownup job if I pass the bar and otherwise don't completely fuck up a good thing, which is something I am exceptionally talented at. (Hey, it's good to know your strengths.) I also put my bar application in the mail...

The twelve days of Law School

Posted on December 26, 2007
So now that Christmas has come and gone and Santa brought me a bicycle (no really, and it's cool) I thought I'd give you the recap. So, here's the twelve days of Christmas, law school style:On the first day of Xmas my law school gave to me: a headacheOn the second day of Xmas my law school gave to me: two parking tickets and a headacheOn the third day of Xmas my law school gave to me: three problems registering, two parking tickets and a headacheOn the fourth day of Xmas my law school gave to me: fourth circuit bullshit, three problems registering, two parking tickets and a headacheOn the fifth day of Xmas my law school gave to me: five group assignments,fourth circuit bullshit, three problems registering, two parking tickets and a headacheOn the sixth day of Xmas my law school gave to me: six library fines,five group assignments,fourth circuit bullshit, three problems registering, two parking tickets and a headacheOn the seventh day of Xmas my law school gave to me: seven pissy colleages, six library fines,five group assignments,fourth circuit bullshit, three problems registering, two parking tickets and a headacheOn the eighth day of Xmas my law school gave to me: eight over perfumed women, seven pissy colleages, six library fines,five group assignments,fourth circuit bullshit, three problems registering, two parking tickets and a headacheOn the ninth day of Xmas my law school gave to me: nine heavy casebooks, eight over perfumed women, seven pissy colleages, six library fines,five group assignments,fourth circuit bullshit, three problems registering, two parking tickets and a headacheOn the tenth day of Xmas my law school gave to me: ten regrets for coming, nine heavy casebooks, eight overperfumed women, seven pissy colleages, six library fines,five group assignments,fourth circuit bullshit, three problems registering, two parking tickets and a headacheOn the eleventh day of Xmas my law school gave to me: eleven things to rewrite,ten regrets for coming, nine heavy casebooks, eight over perfumed women, seven pissy colleages, six library fines,five group assignments,fourth circuit bullshit, three problems registering, two parking tickets and a headacheOn the twelfth day of Xmas my law school gave to me:twelve rejection letters, eleven things to rewrite,ten regrets for coming, nine heavy casebooks, eight over perfumed women, seven pissy colleages, six library fines,five group assignments,fourth circuit bullshit, three problems registering, two parking tickets and a headacheHappy Holidays until we return! -Caligulawyertree hugging, vegetarian, left wing, lesbian law student buddhist cat lover

Happy whatever the hell holiday you celebrate

Posted on December 24, 2007
I like Christmas because it is an excellent excuse to sit on my ass, watch movies and play computer games. Everybody gets to sit on their asses for a few days, and when you're a student, it's like three weeks. That's because professors drink a lot. They want nice, loooong breaks...

Take your refrigerator and get out of here

Posted on December 09, 2007
It's over! Sales and Secured transactions is over! And after having taken that exam, I can now cross "run a marathon" off of my "things to do before I'm sixty" list. It took longer than a marathon and was probably a hell of a lot more painful. Hmm, run 26 miles or three and a half hours of picking through who gets the refrigerator? I'd rather run a real marathon...

The Student and the Beast

Posted on December 04, 2007
Law School is hard enough. So, here's the question - why be a bitch? This may appear rhetorical, but we've got some power hungry, petty, antagonistic, crabby wench working in our office in a position where the students have to deal with her, and I want to ask her why she has to be such a grade A fuckhead...

Criminal Haiku

Posted on November 13, 2007
Doing some criminal law work this semester and living in a city with much sketchiness have inspired me! So, here is some haiku. Enjoy!---------On the same cornerAre a ?ho, pimp and dealer;ghetto convenience.---------Fall in the citythe drunk guy in the park pukeson crisp, orange leaves---------Clicking of handcuffs;it is time to stop yellingexcept for a lawyer...

It's the strange people I love

Posted on November 05, 2007
First, let me just say that I think being prejudiced is just retarded. Now, with that out of the way, your average whitie sucks. I say this as a southern white chick born in a trailer. But really. When you need someone to help you out with something practical, the clean cut white lady or guy will normally ignore you...

The schuck of your misdeeds

Posted on October 25, 2007
So when I was a kid my mother never told me that Santa keeps track of your rotten little actions and that I would get coal at the end of the year if I were bad. I must give her credit for this. However, I am not sure whether she (1) knew that I would be bad anyway and say screw the presents (2) knew I wouldn't believe her (3) didn't want to lose credibility with me, the jury, when Christmas rolled around and my grandparents got me a doll I was afraid of instead of coal, though I would have actually preferred the coal, which writes very nicely on the wall or (4) she just didn't want to frighten me with the idea that some weird invisible fat man was hovering over me watching my every move...

love and disaster

Posted on October 21, 2007
It has been an eventful couple of weeks. So, first I got hit head on by a car riding my scooter. The remarkable thing isn't that someone wasn't paying ATTENTION and made a left right into me, the remarkable thing is that I've been through yet another thing that has killed other people and walked away with a couple of bruises...

All my love to the bus riding hellraisers

Posted on September 21, 2007
A few months ago, I heard about a site online, I can't remember what it's called, like "quiz for people who don't know what to do with themselves" or something. So of course I went there. It asks a bunch of questions about what kind of place you want to live in (fuck no, cold is not OK by me, I don't care about nightlife and there had better be some trees and stuff around) and it gives you places that match up...

Sniff*

Posted on September 17, 2007
So I went to a dinner party at my oldest and dearest friend's house this weekend. Her boyfriend came out with a long stemmed rose and a ring and got one one knee and proposed. He even waited until after dinner so nobody cried in their raspberry tarts...

The Wizard of Bar

Posted on September 06, 2007
I saw this movie once, "Clean and Sober" with Michael Keaton, who is probably neither, but that's beside the point. He plays this alcoholic guy who is getting his life together and there is a set of scenes where he's arduously writing down all of his past wrongs and, running out of breath, reading the extensive list to his sponsor...

My imaginary friend

Posted on August 31, 2007
It's hard to stay in touch with people in law school, at least for me, especially when you don't drink, because that's what most people go out and do. People in school are sort of wrapping things up and planning to go their own separate ways by now, and it's hard to catch up with people out of school who still remember me, since I'm busy and terrified of the bar and in advanced tax until 8 and shit like that...

how to answer an interview question

Posted on August 29, 2007
Today I interviewed for an internship for the semester. I wouldn't get paid, or course credit. Just the satisfaction of being overworked and abused. As a proper law student, this makes me happy. I fear, deep down, if I have a life then the bar will somehow find out and deny me admission...

Shutup. I'm back.

Posted on August 26, 2007
Due to popular demand, which means people who want me to distract them from their miserable lives, I'm back. I don't know how much there is to say. My life has gotten stable, or should we say boring? As I write, the fish swim peacefully and my girlfriend is beside me in a thrift shop easy chair doing a cross stitch, whatever the fuck that is, and my raggedy one eyed cat is curled up at her feet...

Changes and the missing head

Posted on March 29, 2007
So I'm taking trial practice, which is cool, although personally I think those of us who have been on two trial teams should get out of it but whatever, it isn't like law school is here to make sense. We have to do a mock trial and I'm representing an insurance company who doesn't want to pay half a million dollars to the wife of this crooked judge who blew the top of his own head off with a shotgun...

Next: Judge Crackhead tells Candi to pay her bills

Posted on March 23, 2007
So I was watching TV the other day - well, actually, I just had it on while I was doing like three other things because I'm ADD and that's sort of how it goes. A promo came on for some other show and this really serious guy, in his deep, worried announcer voice, says something to the effect of "Mrs...

and now, for something completely different

Posted on March 20, 2007
for a little change of pace, here's a poem i wrote today about the war when i didn't feel like studying for business. it ain't revised, because i don't feel like doing that either, but hell, here it is:------------perhaps the drums i hear at nightare the newly dead coming back from the war...

Here's to Scooter, a dumb, true believer

Posted on March 10, 2007
In the news: Scooter Libby found guilty. Well, duh. And not just because he was obviously lying; but because this was his job; to take the bullet for some horrible fucker and, in the process, to perhaps inspire some measure of odd respect for his loyalty...

Ain't love grand?

Posted on February 20, 2007
And now, a belated Valentine's day address! Last year I bought my girl a ring but made it clear to all of you it had NOTHING to do with some bullshit holiday cooked up by bored marketers out to sell crap. I just happened to be in the mall with $20 I found in the dryer...

Muffies and a request for some advice, but not from Muffies

Posted on February 17, 2007
Well, trial team is over, and overall I'm glad to get back to my life. Of course my first act was to take a sick cat to the vet and wait to get worked in and charged $250, but we've already established life just doesn't fucking stop, then, haven't we? At any rate, I'm rather discouraged, not really because my team didn't make it to the next round but because of some of the really shitty behavior I saw and in realizing I've got a lot to learn about not letting people get under my skin...

The existential question and the hungry fish

Posted on February 06, 2007
My girlfriend got a new job, meaning there's actually some money coming into the house for a change. However, she's out of town all the time and I really miss her. I didn't expect it to get at me so much because I am pretty fond of my space; without it, I get pretty cranky...

Recommendations

Posted on February 04, 2007
It's that time of year again! Law professors are getting requests for recommendations. It is a lot of work, I am sure. I actually got one and helped write it so it's nice. However, I am thinking that since students vary greatly, that letters vary as well...

Point on, pointy!

Posted on February 03, 2007
One has occasion to think about shit in law school that you don?t think about anywhere else, except maybe third grade. As kids, we are taught not to point. Later, like 4th grade, we learn that when you point, three fingers are pointing back at you. Or maybe we learn that in therapy later, which we need because we weren?t picking up on the appropriate social lessons in fourth grade...

Down, boy!

Posted on February 01, 2007
Studies show that men tend to interrupt women more than they do other men, or than women interrupt men. I find this to be true. I also find young guys to often be quite full of themselves. It also seems like many law students are pretty full of themselves...
