furniture!

Posted on August 14, 2008
my furniture just arrived! :D this is awesome. i probably won't unpack everything today, but my goal is to at least put it all together today so i can put everything away when i get back from new york. i've got a dresser, a desk, a desk chair, a night table, and a bookcase...

karaoke awesomeness

Posted on August 14, 2008
last night was a really strange night out at karaoke. first, we started at victory. i sang two songs there..."ugly" by the exies and "my heart will go on" by celine dion. i had never done "ugly" before, and it went better than i thought i did. for some reason i thought the song was in a lower register...

:D

i'm back in chicago. only two more days until i leave for new york, and get to see the awesome Rob T Firefly again. *SQUEE*

memery? memery.

it's late, but i'm not sleepy yet. thus, methinks i shall do a rather lengthy survey, ganked from agent alpo. no rules were listed, but i'm working under the assumption that i'm supposed to be bolding the statements that are true about myself. if these are not the actual rules to the survey, then the survey powers-that-be can come and bite me...

haven't had much to say about the last couple of days. i'm in boise still...through tomorrow, and then i'm leaving at the crack of dawn wednesday. it'll be a crazy two days back in chicago, trying to see as many people as i can as well as spending time thursday unpacking and putting together all my furniture...

out late

Posted on June 15, 2008
i love the hidden cove. i went there last night for the first time since i moved back to the city. it's a karaoke dive on lincoln, just north of berwyn. i had never been there on a weekend before, so i didn't know how busy it was going to be. i knew on the weekdays that it was always pretty dead, which is fantastic because i get to sing a lot...

infomercial wtf

Posted on June 14, 2008
you all know who billy mays is...he's the loud bearded guy who does all the ads and infomercials for oxyclean, zorbeez, kaboom, and all those other crappy home products. i was watching fox reality channel1, and you'll never guess what he's hawking now: health insurance...

contracts crash course

Posted on June 13, 2008
as much as i hate barbri, and as much as i hate contract law, the guy giving our lecture: David Epstein, from Southern Methodist, is an awesome, hilarious lecturer. not only are some of his hypotheticals [which i'll post later, when i have the book in front of me] are downright hysterical...

the wrong side of the bed

Posted on June 13, 2008
i got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. literally. i woke up, and wanted to check what time it is. to visualise my bedroom...my bed takes up most of it, because my room's the size of a small closet. on one side of my bed is a wall with a window-ledge, and on the other side is my floor, which is mostly taken up by my computers, my printer, a bunch of wires...

dear fed jur, clearly i fail at you. :( no love, me.

i'd make a terrible wifey.

barbri

Posted on June 11, 2008
it's so weird...i am far more productive when i ditch barbri than when i go. if i go, the lecture fries my brain to the point that i can't do any more studying after i leave. if i don't, i always feel bad that i didn't go...so i always grab my practice questions book, take it to a coffee shop, and do practice problems...

computer store fail

Posted on June 08, 2008
i dealt with the dumbest computer sales associate ever today. i was at microcenter, and one of the managers was talking to me about the eee pc. for those of you who don't know, the eee pc is a small subnotebook--in fact, tiny. it's got a small hard drive, and it's good for either people who don't do much other than websurfing and email...

success

Posted on June 08, 2008
i have successfully set up my main laptop as an SSH server! this is awesome, as it means that i can remotely connect to it from elsewhere, from either my shiny new eee or any other box i happen to be playing on. i win! i know this is trivial stuff for you linux superusers out there, but it's super exciting to a narb like me...

yet another way to follow me

i swore i'd never sign up for twitter. i lied.

karaoke overanalysis

Posted on June 05, 2008
usually when i sing karaoke, i start with a warm-up song. i start with something easy...something that doesn't have a large range, something that will allow me to get my vocal cords working, figure out what kind of voice i'm in for the day, and whether i'm up for anything particularly ambitious later that night...

emo and hats are not mutually exclusive.

phew.

two weeks later, and my boxes have finally arrived. all ten of them. thank goodness.

barbri fail

Posted on June 04, 2008
i was on AIM bitching to my [non-law] friend about Barbri, and she made the best description of it ever: me: i am at lecture until five thirty. sigh. her: 5:30?!? good god woman! me: it's an extra long one today. full of fail. her: that's beyond fail...

i suck.

Posted on June 03, 2008
i just saw that i have no barbri this friday...or this monday. super double awesome SCORE. sorry for the lack of posting lately...i just have so little to say right now. it's weird. it's not that life is bad...or even boring. i'm not spending nearly as much time studying as i should be, but it's not close enough to the test for me to care that much yet...

an end, finally.

Posted on June 03, 2008
enough said. :D

i need a new umber-ella...ella...ella...hey...hey...hey

i left my Ginormous Vented Golf Umbrella in st. louis. this is proving to be an extremely stupid move. it's pouring today...raining cats and dogs. it was only sprinkling when i left the apartment; i thought my cute little umbrella with the duck on the handle was going to be sufficient...

a beautiful night

Posted on May 30, 2008
barbri was terrible yesterday, but everything after was wonderful. i discovered the coolest intersection ever when i was walking to dinner. i was meeting my friend up in river north...which is a nice walk from the southwest loop, where my barbri class is...

a bright idea.

Posted on May 28, 2008
this is fantastic. it would probably not be the greatest idea to have an orgy with current and future attorneys in a single legal market, even one as big as new york city. but, still...i appreciate the sentiment. two days into barbri, it's already pretty clear that it'll be almost impossible to get through the next two months without regular infusions of vice, vice, and more vice.

i love this song.

Posted on May 28, 2008
radio wazee played "nobody knows" by addict this morning, and it made me think of another one of their songs. i saw "monsterside" by addict premiere on 120 minutes about ten years ago. i loved this song so much..and have only met one person along the way who knew and loved this song as much as i do...

there is HOPE after all.

Posted on May 27, 2008
i don't know who other than the PLA folks would find this interesting...but it's final--i'm going to The Last HOPE on July 18-20. i've got my conference ticket, my plane ticket, and three nights in the Hotel Pennsylvania! i arrive in NYC just after noon on the 18th, and leave NYC around 7 on the 21st...

i don't know how i missed this one last month, but i love it: that about sums it up.

i LOVE pearls before swine. that is all.

randomness

Posted on May 24, 2008
full of win: being back in chicago: enough said. it's marvelous.trevelyn: he gave me a shell on his server and installed an IRC program on it, so i can chat on IRC from there. therefore, i don't have to worry about Comcast being full of IRC-related fail anymore...
