You Know It's Not Your Day When...

You can't win with pocket aces going up against pocket twos.

Maybe, just maybe, I'll have better luck at Macy's tonight and this is just fate balancing things out for me. I doubt it.

UPDATE: Fate must have great things planned for me in the future.

Still Scheduling Next Year

Well I finally got into Civil Practice with Prof. Parrish after having been put on the waitlist. I have a feeling thought that this is a "be careful what you wish for" situation. I'm expecting that that class is going to be a lot of work but with Prof. Parrish, I know that I'll at least learn something.

Also, I'm thinking about dropping out of ADR and switching to Immigration Law for the fall. It would save me a day at school and I think I could find some work in immigration after school. But ADR is kind of like the new trend for the way disputes are resolved so that class might be useful.

Someone To Root For

I was asked whether one of the contestants on The Law Firm is an alum of SWLAW and sure enough a check of the bios revealed that this guy is a Bison. He did the closing argument in this case and I thought he did a good job. But Roy Black thought he should have argued for punitive damages.

Anyway, the show reminds me a bit about ITAP tryouts and truthfully, a couple of the performances probably wouldn't have gotten those lawyers on SWLAW's ITAP. And with that, I take heart that I may actually be decent at this whole practicing law thingie.

Yes, I'm assuming at least one of the three will eventually get into one. Asses.

Funny

I Do What I Can

I'm not saying either way. But I will say I have very little shame.

Hi Wayne,

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and for your comments. We’re happy to hear you enjoy Islands! To help settle your bet, we did have flautas on our menu called Moku Sticks. Since our philosophy is to keep the menu as simple as possible, we removed some slower selling items and replaced them with new ones.

Thanks again for your comments and continued support of Islands.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Rose
Islands Restaurants

So yes, Macy has one over me but can you believe that Macy actually enjoyed a "slower selling item" on Islands' menu and was looking to order it again?

I Wish Certain People Would Go Through A Bad Breakup Before An Exam

Like everyone else taking tomorrow's CA Community Prop. exam. I kid, I kid, really I kid. I'm not that much of an ass.

Anyway, Brandy's situation reminds me of this post. Not that tomorrow's CA Community Prop. exam is anything like the bar exam.

By the way, good luck to all those in the midst of taking the bar.

I Love The NL West!

That is all.

Over/Under

For today's Debtor exam, I'll set it at C+. Yeah... I know... it's open notes but this allergy just hit me and hell, someone has to get the C in the class.

UPDATE: First one out again, this time with 45 minutes to spare in a two hour exam. What can I say? I like to keep the billable hours to a minimum.

If It's Any Consolation

The new dye job wasn't that bad. Defnitely not something to break up over.

Relationship Question #2

UPDATE: Girl oversees said she would like to meet up with boy when she gets back from abroad. I guess that makes the poll about as meaningful as an Egyptian presidential referendum.

Relationship Question

How long do you have to date someone before you start using your bf's/gf's private bathroom to go #2?

Perfect That Secured Transaction

I'll be effin' around preparing all day to get all hizzy tortfeazy on my Debtor/Creditor Relations final exam tonight. Good luck to all taking a final today.

"Poo is always funny." - Sean

Pet Peeve #56879274

People who say, "I'm not good enough for you." Seriously, what the fuck?! I think it's better if you just go ahead and tell the other person that they are not good enough for you. I mean that's what most of you who say that ugly manipulative phrase are really trying to say anyway right? Just say, "You are just not good enough for me." It's a simple matter of switching a couple of pronouns. Even if you're trying to be nice about it, don't tell someone, "I'm not good enough for you" because by saying that, you're telling someone you know what's best for them when apparently they don't even know what's best for them. Now how do you know that? How can anyone say "I'm not good enough for you"? It's condescending is what that phrase is. Usually when "I'm not good enough for you" is said, the "you" thinks all the world about the suddenly "not good enough" person. You know what that does to a person? It fucks 'em up, is what that does. Another thing, by saying, "I'm not good enough for you," you're putting yourself down and that takes away some of the pleasure of "me" putting "you" down. Hell, it sometimes leads to the person saying how good the person who just rejected them is and that's just perverse and so wrong in a Michael Jackson likes little boys in his bed sorta way. So when you're rejeting someone, don't you dare say, "I'm not good enough for you."

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you're going to reject someone just be honest about it and don't try to be nice because lying or even trying to be nice about it just makes it all the more worse.

Sean: Have you ever had poo thrown at your chest?
Brian: Can't say that I have.
Sean: Well I can say that I have.

Is It Wrong

That I find the headline to this article amusing?

Third-Tier Conversation

About a month or so ago.

Brian: Let's go to the Sept. 23 game.
Me: Ok, but isn't something happening on that date?
Brian: It does sound like a familiar date doesn't it?
Me: Yeah, but what is it?
Brian: I don't know.

Last night.
Bunny: Keep the date Sept. 23 free.
Annie: Oooo it's Bunny's big Three - Oh.
Me: Not 31? I thought you were already 30.
Bunny: Thanks Wayne. Hey Brian, keep Sept. 23 free.
Brian: Okay.
Me: Hey Brian, doesn't Sept.23 sound familiar?
Bunny: Yeah, it's my birthday.
Me: No, something else.
Brian: Yeah, it does sound familiar.
Me: Is there something school related that day?
Brian: I don't think so.

Today.
Brian: I have a challenge for us. Want in?
Me: Do I have to go into this challenge blindly?
Brian: No, I'll tell you what it is first. Remember that game I wanted to go to on Sept. 23? Blah, blah, blah, blah.... So you want in?
Me: Sure, but aren't you forgetting something about Sept. 23?
Brian: What?
Me: Don't worry. It's not like you're a bad friend. We both remembered when you originally mentioned that game that the date sounded familiar.
Brian: Bunny's bday.
