Trimmed The Blogroll
It was in reaction to this post. The philosophy? I narrowed it down to those that I frequent most. That and I kept lawsclbarbie on there for Brian's sake. To those I didn't keep on, it's nothing personal, I'm just not that big of a fan.
Drunk Dialing
Another serenade last night, this time left on voicemail, and this time it was an original duet with Sean.

Thank the BTQ guys for this.
1. Why did you start blogging?
I didn't want to forget the experience of what I had gone through during my first semester of law school and I didn't want any of my friends to forget either. I remember thinking over what I had just gone through after that first semester. In doing so, I found I was smiling and laughing to myself of things said and done. I realized that I was reminiscing really only about the good experiences and not the bad ones. And I just didn't want to forget any of them.
2. Are the reasons you blog now the same as when you started? If not, what's changed?
Well it obviously includes more than just that first semester now but it's still pretty much the same. I guess I started posting more about things that aren't even remotely related to law school, much less my personal experiences in law school, or the friends I've made in law school. But I still think the original focus of this blog largely remains and a majority of these posts and the links contained therein are still a bunch of inside jokes or references between myself and my friends at school.
3. What would make blogging better for you?
Inspiration strikes at the oddest moments and usually when I'm nowhere near a computer connected to the internet and I usually forget those inspiring moments other than that it was an inspiring moment. So if there were a way to blog instantaneously by simply thinking of a post, that would be nice and a really nerdy and inconsequential superpower.
4. Do you have comments on your blog? Why or why not? Do you comment on other blogs? What motivates you to post a comment?
I live for comments. Most of the time the comments make the post better. So comment away people. That and I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for Ms. Alba to leave me her digits.
I do comment on other blogs whenever a particular post motivates me to do so.
5. What is your philosophy of the blogroll?
I link to those blogs I read and to those who link to me. Though I'm currently considering paring it down to only those I read on a frequent basis. Now that would be telling, wouldn't it?

Seriously
Some law professors should just stick to teaching inside the classroom and avoid any interaction with students outside of the classroom. What an ass.

The Japanese Is Right, The Chinese Is Wrong
The phrase "vindictive asshole" comes up with 363 hits on Google. So the phrase does exist. Of course, there are 2,710 hits for the phrase "vindictive bitch." That would be close to 7.5 times more vindictive bitches than vindictive assholes which correlates nicely with the theorem that women are evil. Especially in groups.
All Those Who...
grounded up Smarties - not those fake M&M kind from across the pond because that would be really weird - and sniffed them up their nose through rolled-up Benjamins as a kid, please raise your hand.... Didn't think anyone did.
Now those of you who did so without the rolled-up Benjamins, please take a step forward.... Brian?!
Now where's that Island's waiter of ours? And can somebody please get Macy some flautas? Luston?

What Does Hearing Have To Do With Golf?
Hall said he's not handicapped by his disability, although one time in college he was penalized a stroke for picking up his ball because he didn't understand there had been a rule change for the tournament.
And there's actually some advantages on the golf course for being deaf, he said.
"I can't hear the distractions. I can't hear the airplanes," Hall said. "But I still struggle with my mental game. Just the same as any other golfer."
So does this mean we can cheer for him on his backswing?

What's This N... H... L That They Talk About?
Somebody on ESPN mentioned that the Avs might not be able to re-sign Forsberg and mentioned LA as a possible destination. Now that would be nice.
Also, I maintain that the lost year would have seen the LA Kings winning the Stanley Cup.

Now That's A Useful Feature
Just heard someone on Cold Pizza describe a laptop as "aerodynamic in design."

I Don't Know About This... Doesn't Look Like Much... Probably Don't Need It
But for those who want a guide on the present generations and on how a couple of them can get along better, then this L.A. Daily News article is for you.
SILENT GENERATION: 49 million, born between 1933 and 1945Feel free to discuss among yourselves.
Formative events and trends: Great Depression and World War II
Personality traits: Disciplined, self-sacrificing, cautious
BOOMERS: 77 million, born between 1946 and 1964
Formative events and trends: economic prosperity, stay-at-home moms, Vietnam War
Personality traits: Optimistic, driven, team-oriented
GENERATION X: 59 million, born between 1965 and 1980
Formative events and trends: Watergate, Iran-Contra scandal, latchkey kids
Personality traits: Skeptical, unimpressed with authority, self- reliant
MILLENNIALS: 80 million, born after 1980
Formative events and trends: End of Cold War, rise of Internet, child-centered families
Personality traits: Confident, hopeful, goal-oriented, civic- minded, inclusive
Boomers say Xers: Aren't loyal; have no work ethic; aren't committed; are self-centered; have no respect.
Xers say boomers: Are too political; don't practice what they preach; are workaholics; need validation; are self-righteous.
How the generations can bridge the gap:
Xers should: Show respect for boomers' experience; take some time and get to know boomers as people; call boomers by name and check in with them ("How was your ski trip?"); choose face-to-face conversation when possible.
Boomers should: Get to the point (Xers prefer a straightforward approach); avoid cliche and hyperbole; use e-mail when it's appropriate.

Pet Peeve #957987
What's with people who bring food, drink, or laptop with them into a public restroom? Not that it's much better with a private bathroom but I'm less than likely to see that.
Quiz Time
You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

A Buck Ten My Ass
This filipino recently weighed in at at 183 lbs. That would be about 5 or 6 lbs. lighter than when I started my membership at LA Fitness about 5 months ago. They told me that my target weight should be 163 lbs. I'm way behind schedule.
Take It For What's It Worth
2 of 2 surveyed contributors to this blog say this drink blows goat's ass.
Third-Tier Conversation
Macy: Want to hear the funny story now?
Brian: Yes, but it better be worth it.
Macy: Well my boyfriend doesn't like the idea of us hanging out together.
Brian: Why not?
Macy: Because he feels threatened by you.
Me: Hahahaha.
Brian: That is funny but why does he feel threatened by me?
Macy: I don't know. It's just a vibe he gets from you.
Brian: I give out a threatening vibe?
Macy: To him, yes. He notices that we spend a lot of time hanging out together, talking on the phone, and chatting online.
Brian: Oh.
Macy: But I told him I do the same with Wayne and asked him why he doesn't get the same vibe from Wayne.
Me: I don't threaten him?
Brian: Yeah, why isn't he threatened by Wayne?
Me: Yeah, why isn't he threatened by me?
Macy: It's because he sees you as an older brother to me and he thinks you're really funny so he's not threatened by you at all.
Me: Well this isn't really a funny story anymore. Not for me anyway.
Brian: Yeah, for you, it started out as a funny story and ended up as a sad one.
Brian: Yes, but it better be worth it.
Macy: Well my boyfriend doesn't like the idea of us hanging out together.
Brian: Why not?
Macy: Because he feels threatened by you.
Me: Hahahaha.
