Been working on Points & Authorities Memorandum all day - well for most of the parts of the day when I wasn't scouring the web, having lunch, napping, day dreaming and writing in this thing.
Back to work. I've got six more pages to hash out.

Almost Forgot
I hope everyone I know who went through interviews at the 19th Annual Southern California Public Interest Career Day held at UCLA did well. If I had remembered earlier I would have wished you all the best.
Better Than Chemo
Most people on the council estate in Yate, near Bristol, know him as a dishevelled looking man. But to his many devotees around the world he is a leading tantric sex guru, who claims he "heals" women of terminal diseases such as cancer by sleeping with them.
Apparently, it's difficult to believe that he has slept with around 2,000 women in a "career" spanning 40 years.
"People think I do this for pleasure. But I am not in this for the sex," he says, indignantly. "I sleep with women that other men would rather die than touch. They are middle-aged, often overweight and the least desirable, one was 25 stone and cross-eyed.
Men in the west have been brought up to believe they can't go on as long as women. But a tantric practitioner can have 10 orgasms one after another. It's not uncommon to have a nine-day tantric session
But he has problems with jealous husbands, especially in India where he needs 20 policemen to protect him from Hindu fundamentalists when he visits Delhi and Mumbai.

Are They Trying To P-I-M-P My Fine Ass?
Got a piece of mail from my school inviting me to a Malibu event. The event is the Tenth Annual Women's Law Association Alumnae Reception.
By the way, I'm a Mr. not a Ms. But the thought of meeting an old, rich, horny hag mature, well-established and well-respected lady is intriguing.

You Said Chicken
Apparently, the chicken at Cafe Gioia was about to go bad. I had ordered the Beef Teriyaki Lunch Box and was given the Chicken Teriyaki Lunch Box. Annie, who has more than a thing against chickens unless they're fried, had ordered the Cheese Enchilada and was given the Chicken Enchilada.
Found out at this lunch that Macy really likes bean sprouts. Her mom must be so proud.

Grades Finally Made Known
The final envelope containing my law school grades arrived yesterday. Not wanting to spoil my appetite, I opened the envelope after dinner. What I saw didn't make me jump for joy but at least it didn't cause me to regurgitate.
My grades are in no sense bad but they're not great either so they leave me with mixed feelings. I was a bit disappointed when I first saw them. I guess most law students feel the same way because of all the effort they put into law school and ante-law school academic experiences predict that those sort of efforts are rewarded with mostly A's and the anomalous B or two. My own experiences were that I could get slightly better grades at undergrad than I have gotten in law school with about a quarter or so of the effort I put into law school. So I put in somewhere around four times the work and I get lesser grades. That's both frustrating and disappointing.
But I understand that's the nature of law school, especially at Southwestern where they strongly enforce a mean GPA of 2.3. With that understanding, I can't be overly disappointed with my grades.

Not Quite a Law School Memory
Because I'm skipping Crim. Pro. to work on my P&A, I missed out on Brad getting serenaded Happy Birthday ala Marilyn Monroe by Catherine.
Regardless, missing Crim. Pro. was and is worth it.

Must Take Law Exams In Sex Filled Environment
They used functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, to look at the brain functions of the Brazilian monkeys. Writing in the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, they said the brains became busy when the monkeys smelled sexy scents.New law school study aide; eau de monkey sex.
The researchers were surprised to see how much more of the animals' brain lit up when they smelled the samples from fertile females -- including areas of complex, cognitive reasoning.
He said the marmoset data corresponded surprisingly closely to human fMRI studies.
Is It Kinky For You Too?
Conversation overheard over at Wings and Vodka.
“Hi, I’m Bambi. Welcome to HoTTTLine. What’s your name?”Go here for the rest.
“Uh…Mike.”
“Ooh. I like that name. What can I do to turn you on, Mike?”
“Well, are you into role playing?”
“Sure, Baby. What ever gets you hot.”
“Sweet. I’ll be the law professor. You be the teacher’s pet.”
“Mmm. I like that.”
“Damn right you do. You’re my star pupil, and I think I’m about to call on you.”
You Gotta Be Shitting Me
David Hasselhoff has complained to museum curators after finding his photo absent in a collection of memorabilia about the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The actor and producer, who says he is working on a film version of TV series Knight Rider, claims he is partly responsible for the fall of the concrete divide.
Speaking to German magazine TV Spielfilm, Hasselhoff said in 1989, the year the wall fell, he had helped reunite the country by singing his song 'Looking for Freedom' among millions of German fans at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
He said he felt he had moved people on both sides of the wall, although he admitted hardly any of the East Germans could speak English. He said: "I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Check-Point Charlie.

Delay
Expected my final grade but it didn't make it in today. So I won't know my grades for at least another day.
There's a Mr. Ctrl+Alt+Delete
But you should call him Mr. Bradley
David Bradley spent five minutes writing the computer code that has bailed out the world's PC users for decades.The man is now retiring after 20 plus years with IBM.
The result was one of the most well-known key combinations around: CtrlAltDelete. It forces obstinate computers to restart when they will no longer follow other commands.
At a 20-year celebration for the IBM PC, Bradley was on a panel with Microsoft founder Bill Gates and other tech icons. The discussion turned to the keys.
"I may have invented it, but Bill made it famous," Bradley said.
Gates didn't laugh. The key combination also is used when software, such as Microsoft's Windows operating system, fails.

What Was That About The Curved GPA And Higher Bar Passage Rates?
Found this site with some numbers to note. Both Loyola and Pepperdine have higher bar passage rates than Southwestern but Southwestern has a slight edge on median, full-time starting salaries in the private sector. Whatever that means.
Deja Vu On Those First Semester Flashbacks
Finished reading Torts and the last few pages brought back to memory the Georgia O'Keefe case studied in Property last semester. Not fun stuff.
Hope You Enjoyed Your Visits
Being the attention whore that I am, I checked the stats for this site and found out that this site has gotten two hits from someone on Harvard's network. I'm guessing it's this guy because I had linked to him earlier in this post and it's possible he may have gotten a referral or two from that post.
It's not exactly the type of attention I was hoping to get from Harvard but this whore will take what he can get.
By the way, I promise not to tell anyone that you frequent a third-tier law student's blog.

Saluting Mr. Centerfold Retoucher
Remember those Bud Light commercials honoring "Real American Heroes"? Well here's a collection of 'em along with "Real Men of Genius" in mp3 format. Not sure if they're all, or if any for that matter, are authentic. I don't recall there being that many, regardless a few did make me smile so it's worth a listen or two.
First Semester Flashbacks
Reading Torts and it's about trespass to chattels. Memo two memories flood the mind. Can you say Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
