Quiz Time
| Roger Corman Your film will be 43% romantic, 25% comedy, 40% complex plot, and a $ 32 million budget. |
An action-complex tale about a complex character that is you. Corman was responsible for Jack Nicholson's film debut in 1963's The Terror. The actor who plays you will emote complexity like Jack ... maybe Christian Slater or Gwyneth Paltrow. Also, Roger filmed the original Little Shop of Horrors film -- which in the 1980s was the basis for a hit Broadway musical and another film. All his films were shot for mere thousands of dollars. Roger knows talent, and knows how to keep costs down with complex stories such as your life story. His versions of Edgar Allen Poe stories are considered classics (The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum), and also directed Deathsport and Bloody Mama in the 1970s. Oh, yeah, man, this guy will make your film a cult classic! |

Now That Soupie Is Gone
I find myself reading more of this blog than ever before. I'll never go Soupie for that. Also, I'm ready for my 20Q now.
Polls Are Open
Think along these lines before answering the poll: Batman and Robin, Brooks and Dunn, Bonnie and Clyde, Ben and Jerry's, Yin and Yang, and Barnum and Bailey.
Update: Chase Visa...still morons
I finally got through the fraud line to an actual agent without the 25+ minute wait. So, things were looking up.
Using all the information you all so kindly provided I felt prepared for any excuse they could throw at me. The agent looked up my account and found that I had in fact requested 3 affidavits now. I asked if I could submit the national form available on the govt. website. She quickly responded with "no, you can only use our affidavit." I asked if I could have one faxed to me at work. She said, "yes." I was finally getting somewhere.
Then it all went to hell. I asked if she could fax me right away and she explained that only the agent on my case can do that. She tried to reach her but the agent wasn't answering. So she would fax my agent and her supervisor because even she, another Chase Visa Moron, could not believe that I had yet to receive this important affidavit.
I asked if I could speak to her supervisor and she said she can't do that. I asked to speak to another agent. Of course, no one was available. I asked if I could get the e-mail address of the agent. She told me it's only and intra office system.
So what did I accomplish? My agent has now been sent an e-mail to fax me the affidavit and her supervisor has been cc'd. IN addition, I got the fax number to the office. So really, nothing was done.
So to anyone who would like to assist in returning to Chase Visa the frustration they have caused me, contact SANDRA JACHOWSKE at 800-335-3052 xt. 8180 or fax her at
(847) 488-3745.

Best Invention Ever!
This is a public service announcement to all of those who own Tivos. There is a newer function where you can download recorded programs onto your computer. You can then take them with you where ever you go. This could possibly be the best thing ever. You all can thank me later and kick my ass later when we all fail out of law school.

This Week In SWLAW Blogs
If you replace "rarely" with "never", then you've got a fairly accurate description of this blog. I'm not all too sure about that smart and witty stuff either but who am I to complain?
Good professor vs. Bad Professor, we know who wins the hearts of students but who wins the minds? Probably the Good Professor as well.
At my house, Grilled Dog Night is Sunday night - makes for good leftovers for the coming week.
I've learned.... That reading Macy's blog every few days is still all too frequent. Post, post, post.
Now let this be a warning, if you want to keep things quiet, don't say things to me out in the Promenade or anywhere else for that matter. But in my defense, Trini encouraged me to shout it out. Not that I need encouraging. And I'm more like an 5th grader.
Actually, I find that I'm doing less this year than I was last year as far as extracurricular activities are concerned. I think the 3L Syndrome is something else entirely.
Now I don't know about this but I get the sense that a significant proportion of the conservatives at SWLAW are minorities. Can someone back me up on that? On the same note, SWLAW bloggers tend to be conservative with the odd exception of course.
I'd say it's more like undergrad on crack but whatever your choice of illicit drugs may be that's what law school is like. Without the trippy side effects that make it fun.... So I'm told.
The following quote reminds me of my Con Law professor.

Some people claim . . . that although Frankfurter was hugely successful as a teacher, he didn't really teach law, he 'taught Frankfurter,' and Harvard let him get away with it.

Quote This
Brian to Wayne while sitting in Computer Assisted Litigation, "Sir Speedy, isn't that your nickname?"
I Like Oranges
CalArts professors Dave Burns, Matias Viegener, and Austin Young are accidental farmers. After discovering an arcane Los Angeles city law that makes any fruit overhanging on sidewalks public property, the trio founded Fallen Fruit, a mapping project that promotes access to the city's free and forgotten oranges, bananas, and apricots.
Repeat After Me
It ain't happening.
It's about as likely as me jumping on a nuke. And Brian will tell you that ain't happening no matter what the glory may be.
But if it did happen, I'd be a fan again.

Juror Blogs His Experience
I'm taking Trial Ad and the reading material likes to point out that my audience is a tv generation and that I should present my case accordingly. I wasn't completely sold on that characterization of a jury so it was this part of the blogger/juror's experience that jumped out at me.
Other interesting parts of the experience were his impression of the prosecutor's closing statement and how they ended up convincing the lone holdout juror to switch her vote.
As an aside, I'm not certain why my sense of people's resemblance to celebrities was so keen in this situation. Was it because I tend to see court battles only in movies and on T.V.? Was it because I knew I would be trying to describe the people on my blog (doubtful, since I didn't think I would be blogging my jury duty at the time)? I only know that the resemblance of the prosecutor to Frasier's Niles struck me without prompting, as did the resemblance of this officer to Gary Busey. The resemblance of the defense counsel to Tom Welling and Julianne Moore is more manufactured to give you a rough impression of what they looked like.
