I Was Watching The Replay Of Maurice Drew's TD Punt Return

When I came upon this bit of news.

Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who helped shift the U.S. Supreme Court toward a more conservative ideology and strongly supported states' rights during his three decades on the bench, has died.

Rehnquist, who presided over the court for nearly 19 years, was 80.

As Brian Said...

You don't need an opposable thumb to use the 3rd floor men's bathroom in Westmoreland.

If You're Not A Fan Of Reading The Comments*

*I wouldn't know why seeing that they're usually better than the post itself.

What's More Shocking?

Prof. Horwitz commenting a second time on this blog or Brian getting a semi-affirmative response to this post?

Is SWLAW Doing The Same?

And shouldn't our school's SBA be coordinating some sort of relief help for the victim's of Katrina?

Well it's good to know this blog has some educational value. Trini, if you have the time, post the exact language which I heard is even funnier - or anyone in that class for that matter can use the comments to post the language.

Don't mess with hamsters. They will eat their own body to stay alive. Think about what that means they'll do to you.

Any Tim McGraw Fans Out There?

This is an open call for any Tim McGraw fans. I have an extra ticket and am looking for someone to go with, so if you like country music and like wearing a cowboy hat, oh and you are a girl, I have an extra ticket to the October 8th concert (free ticket!). Leave inquiries in comments. And no, this is not a joke, or not entirely a joke at least.

I was actually told that I wasn't speaking loud enough. This was during Remedies. Usually I'm told to use my inside voice and even then most people come to realize that I dont' have an inside voice.

Billy The Bison

Who knew he was such an architecture/landmark nerd?

Barney's Beanery is "one of the last standing of the original roadhouses built along Route 66." Additionally, Barney's Beanery is "known for being a favorite spot of movie stars, rock stars, writers, and artists from every decade since the 1920's" and has "been featured in films, documentaries, television shows, books, and been the subject of art and sculpture."

And now the latest.

The Century Club is "a Spanish-Colonial style venue... located in the heart of Century City and features a variety of beautiful indoor and outdoor rooms, 50' high ceilings and 5000 square feet of tropical gardens."

Billy the Bison was definitely cooler last year.

GWCBMBM*

Our first lady is Emmanuelle Chriqui (if you can't pronounce her last name, feel free to substitute your last name for hers) and she's the reason that Entourage leads in the all-important demographic of males aged 19-35.

*Of course, this new feature is a ripoff in honor of Soup's now defunct JB feature. May it rest in peace.

Making Partner

So wait a minute, time out here, let me get this straight: to win at this whole lawyer game, you're expected to spend your twenties conquering law school admissions, exams and recruiting, mortgage your life to pay astronomical tuition, then tackle the bar exam, then station yourself at your firm post and cancel your social life for the next 3-4 years, looking forward to devoting the first half of your thirties to scheming, maneuvering, and above all, billing, all in hopes of making a short list for partnership consideration. Once you've reached the tipping point, there's that final maniacal push to prove that you are prepared to cleave skulls and open veins for the good of the firm and its partners. You prove yourself worthy, they reach from on high to tap your shoulder, and you've crossed the finish line, the race is over, time to sit back and enjoy the spoils of success after 15-20 years of labor.

And now you're telling me that Atlantis is just a slightly larger office, the booty is less money than a 27-year-old banker makes at Christmas, the spoils include a wife you never see and a new baby who barely recognizes you, the ultimate proverbial carrot is rotting and oozing at the end of the stick, and you awake at dawn every day, bleary, void and depleted, only to realize that, by winning the paramount prize, you've simply entered yourself in an entirely new game with less ability to drop out than before?

So honestly, what the hell is the point?

After doing the reading for week 2 out of the supp., I feel like I'm being sold a bill of goods, literally. Technology good, old school lawyering is for losers, must use technology or I lose case, Summation is a good program.
