This Day in History

Posted on December 07, 2008
It was Sunday morning on the beautiful island of O'ahu. Hawaii was not yet a state in our union, as it was 1941, but the United States had a naval base in Pearl Harbor, home of our Pacific Fleet. What was a beautiful morning soon turned deadly as 177 Japanese planes appeared from the sky and attacked the naval base...

Despair

Posted on December 05, 2008
I'm beginning to feel like this is the theme of my law school experience:Sigh. More FAIL ahead. My BA final is on Thursday. It will definitely be craptastic. I know I have a week to study for it. That honestly will not make much of a difference. It shall be bad...

Things

Posted on December 04, 2008
Things that are awesome:1. NPH is definitely awesome. So is this video:See more Jack Black videos at Funny or Die2. Spending the break time between classes not studying, but rather searching for phallic/otherwise dirty kitchen utensils on Williams-Sonoma and repeatedly sending the links via Facebook to a friend creating a wedding registry...

Home stretch

Posted on December 03, 2008
It's finally the home stretch. Last week of classes, two weeks of finals ahead. Last night was my Lit Skills murder trial. We lost. We had no real evidence, we had two witnesses that were just terrible and one who was unrealiable at best (the characters, not the folks who performed)...

Sigh

Posted on December 01, 2008
It's not looking good for our international moot court team. While we're pretty sure we can raise the money to cover the registration fee and the accommodations in Vienna, I don't think we'll be able to raise enough to cover our airfare. I have enough rewards points on my credit card to pay for my trip (I use my credit card for everything), so it's not an issue for me...

Apathy

Posted on November 30, 2008
As the economic apocalypse looms, and the job market is quickly closing off to even those at the top of our class with big firm offers being rescinded, I find myself oddly apathetic and detached from the state of affairs. It's incredibly strange, because normally this is *exactly* the sort of thing that would have me developing ulcers...

Turkey

Posted on November 28, 2008
We had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday. Husband's parents came in, my mom was there, Cora's godfather, and a friend from graduate school who couldn't go home this weekend because he has his comprehensive exam on Monday. We've had Thanksgiving at our home since we moved in together in 2003...

Being public

Posted on November 26, 2008
Ooh, scary, I'm putting myself out there as, like, a real person with an actual identity. Using my real name, I've cross-posted over at Ms. JD, and I've set up a public blog for our international moot court team, which as soon as the dean's office catches wind of it, is going to have my ass in hot water (hehe, yay, drama!)...

Bitching and mooting

Posted on November 25, 2008
I am currently a very unhappy law student. In fact, I'm pretty damn angry. I'm angry that I made the wrong decision in which law school to attend. Angry that my efforts to make this law school a better institution are met with indifference and even hostility...

Follow-Up Question

Posted on November 19, 2008
This one will need to be answered by those of you who already had children when you entered law school. (You know who you are!)A fellow mom/future MILP [with a school-age child] asks us:How has spending so much of yourself on school affected your relationship with your child?I'll start with my thoughts, even though my kid came during law school, so I have no real reference point for change...

Ask a MILS

Posted on November 19, 2008
A new reader asks:I just found your blog after googling "taking the bar exam while pregnant." I'm not in law school, but I am in the dead middle of a PhD. What is your take on the possibility of being pregnant during a major exam (in my case my "orals")...

Weekend FAIL

Posted on November 16, 2008
I feel like ass. I have finally stopped vomiting (hurray!), so that's a bonus. I made a nice romantic dinner last night for Husband and I, which I promptly threw up an hour later, and proceeded to continue to experience in reverse all night and today...

Babies, law and nerdom

Posted on November 10, 2008
Yes, it's official. My child believes she's a dog. She:- carries toys around in her mouth, while walking on all fours- thinks dog food is tasty- drools a lot- licks the dog- eats food off the floor- thinks the dog is much more awesome than her parentsSeriously, she loves the dog...

Church and State

Posted on November 07, 2008
The protests in California to Proposition 8 have specifically targeted the Mormon church for its role in the campaign. The conflict has taken a dangerous ?gay vs. religion? turn. I have little sympathy for the Mormon church itself. Frankly, if you put your church in the middle of a highly emotional political conflict, on a side that seeks to deprive your fellow citizens of their civil rights, and you end up with angry protesters outside of your church? good...

Watching History Unfold

Posted on November 05, 2008
I have never been so proud to be an American citizen as I was last night. Americans came out in record numbers and cast their votes for our first black president. To watch the scenes on the news across the world, people celebrating in the streets, it was a wonderful thing...

From debate to insult

Posted on November 04, 2008
I'll be glad when the election season is over, mainly because I'm tired of reading incredibly offensive email forwards and such written by classmates, family members, etc. I love a good debate, and I usually take it good-naturedly. I think two people who are friends (or spouses!) can be on opposite sides of an issue and debate it respectfully...

Choices

Posted on November 03, 2008
I'm breaking a personal policy of "Don't bait the trolls!" to write this entry. In a recent post, Lag Liv published an anonymous comment she received, criticizing her and her life choices. Let?s just start off saying my personal reaction to this woman?s statements included a lot of obscenities...

Halloween

Posted on November 02, 2008
I have a rough draft due tomorrow of my "spore" seminar paper, so I'm just going to post these pictures and not blog anymore tonight, even though I have lots to blog about, and would rather blog than write said crappy paper:Cora as ChewbaccaCora and one of her favorite toys -- a balloon I've been waiting for her to accidentally pop, but surprisingly enough has been quite resilient.

An afternoon of rambling, catching up and then relaxing

Posted on October 24, 2008
I'm about to delve into catching up on an entire month of BA. Yeah, so, I've been slacking (surprise, surprise). My level of apathy in that class is beyond reason. I actually care about all my other classes this semester, which is incredible. I really like my other classes...

Email issues

Posted on October 24, 2008
Okay, so I'm an idiot, and I forget to check the ProtoAttorney email address I set up specifically for this blog. Like for a month. I apologize to those of you who try to email me and never get a response. I'm not purposely ignoring you, I'm just stupid...

More conservative douchebags

Posted on October 24, 2008
It's amazing how far people will go to push their agenda of bigotry. I don't even know where to begin...

Updating

Posted on October 22, 2008
I'll be glad when the election is over! Then I can get back to concentrating on law school. Okay, so probably not. But I have been rather distracted lately. I'm a news junkie, I can't get enough. And when there's so much going on... sensory overload!The past week has been hectic...

Conservative douchebaggery

Posted on October 15, 2008
I don't know why I continue to read conservative columnists. I suppose it's because I'm quite liberal, and feel I need to balance myself by getting both sides of the story in order to have a solid grasp of the issues. What newspapers do I read, Sarah Palin? Why, I read the Wall Street Journal, mostly...

Fall

Posted on October 13, 2008
Even though it's been in the 80's (thanks, Global Warming!), we hit the pumpkin patch this weekend. There was a corn maze, which was awesome. (Since we were going through after dark, I tried to get Husband to run through the corn with the flashlights shouting "Mulder!" and "Scully!" respectively, however, he's lame and wouldn't do it...

South Dakota

Posted on October 10, 2008
South Dakota's at it again. Even though the forced pregnancy lobby got defeated in 2006, they're giving it another go. Watch this video here at Feministing.No one likes abortion. No one gets a warm, squishy feeling about a pregnancy being terminated and potential life being snuffed out...

Live debate blogging

Posted on October 07, 2008
9:18 -- How many times has McCain accused Obama of having cronies now? Aren't cronies usually reserved for creepy old men?9:22 -- McCain invades others' personal space.9:27 -- Obama has a very professorial presence. He's starting to freak me out like he's going to call on me through the TV...

What Sarah Palin sees from her house

Posted on October 07, 2008
This is just frightening. But at least Putin's fully clothed.

The Politics of Character Assassination

Posted on October 06, 2008
One of my wing-nut law school compadres started posting "Obama is a terrorist because he associates with them" messages on Facebook tonight. I quickly smacked him down for being defamatory and inflammatory. But it looks like the next month is going to be full of nasty attack ads aimed at who pals around with whom...

Maverick!!!

Posted on October 05, 2008
I love the shout-out for the drinking games.

Snark? or just Stupid?

Posted on October 04, 2008
This is a follow-up observation to this clip, but it's something I thought about after I had already posted. Does it seem to anyone else like Sarah Palin has a really big chip on her shoulder? She is completely snarky when asked why she had never left the country before, getting defensive that well, she had to work for a living, she didn't have parents that handed her a passport and a backback! Then when asked what newspapers she reads, and can't answer, she later acts like it's an insult, "oh, what, you're saying that Alaskans don't read newspapers?" Huh? Seems to me she immediately jumps on the snark to avoid the having to explain herself, her choices and especially her flubs...
