Posted on September 29, 2008
okay...well, i don't actually has a bukkit. but, this blog is on the first page if you google the words i has a bukkit. and that makes me happy.

the end of blissful ignorance

apparently illinois bar results are coming out tomorrow. well, fuck. my stomach is tied in a knot, and i won't be able to sleep tonight.

more palin drama. sigh.

Posted on September 29, 2008
my head is spinning. people are affirmatively hoping for a Bristol Palin wedding before the election? i was incensed enough when they stated in the abstract that "she will be marrying the father of the baby." it gave them an out...after the campaign, things could be reevaluated, and Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston wouldn't necessarily be pushed by the tide of public opinion into an ill-advised

thank you, new york times. today, the new york times printed an article about an NPR show about the mortgage crisis. now, i don't regularly listen to NPR. i know this either makes me a bad liberal or a bad person in general, but i prefer music to talk...

i spent so much time talking on Skype this weekend that this morning, it feels like i have a phantom usb headset on my head. i reach near my mouth, expecting to find the microphone there so i can adjust it, and there's only air. i'm such a dork.

purity?

okay, today must be meme day here...but that's alright. and now, we admire just how corrupt i am...thanks to this purity test that i shamelessly lifted from c4bl3fl4m3.

sigh. the white sox were in the lead most of the season, and this last week of the season...they're just crumpling. this makes me want to cry.

alright...i like this meme. i'm curious to see your answers. :) 1. If you read this, I want to know 35 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other. Short and sweet is fine ... you're on my list, so I want to know you better...

i just finished watching the debate. it was kind of a train wreck...really, the only one who came out there looking good was Jim Lehrer. i didn't live-blog it...but Rob did. it's got his contemporaneous commentary as well as mine, since we spent the entire hour and a half snarking to each other about what was going on.

the debate will go on

Posted on September 26, 2008
santas pelotas. just days after saying that the debate needed to be halted because of the economy, we hear McCain saying this: "My strong sense is that the best thing that I can do, rather than to inject presidential politics into some delicate negotiations, is to go down to Mississippi and explain to the American people what is going on and my vision for leading the country over the next four

five-dollar words

Posted on September 26, 2008
i learned a new word today: eleemosynary: of, relating to, or supported by charity. it's the first word i've seen in a long time that i actually had to listen to before i could say it. i'm going to have to find a way to work it into casual conversation.

or, shall we say, major general obvious?

a headline from the Captain Obvious files, otherwise known as the Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review: S&P Says Wall Street Meltdown Will Cause Default Rate To Rise gee, thanks for the astute financial analysis.

wizards

Posted on September 24, 2008
i posted some pictures from new york this weekend. my favourite pictures are the ones of Rob and me goofing off in the wizard robe: there's a pretty funny story behind the wizard robe. there was a yard sale at a house around the block from Rob's place...

someone posted this to the e-mail group for the chicago linux users group, and i found it quite entertaining. [and, no, it doesn't have to do with linux...i know you're disappointed now, but it's funny anyway.] Your Urgent Help Needed Dear American: I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude...

office funnies

Posted on September 22, 2008
my office door will not stay shut unless i body-check it, or shove it really hard against the door frame. this is annoying, but strangely entertaining.

new york

Posted on September 20, 2008
not dead, just busy. :) the conference went well. it involved me getting up very, very early for three days in a row, but at least i can navigate the bankruptcy code with some confidence now. thank goodness for small miracles. otherwise, i've been spending lots of time with Rob, which makes me the happiest person on earth...

YAYYYYYYYYYY

Posted on September 16, 2008
this morning was insane...but the result of it is that i am currently sitting at O'Hare, waiting for a flight to New York. there's a bankruptcy legal education workshop [yes, as of last monday i am now a bankruptcy lawyer, by virtue of the fact that i showed up last monday and was handed an assignment to the bankruptcy department] up there that is supposed to be very helpful at explaining the

last night i dreamt that i was reading the algorithm of the human sexual response, coded in the computer language Python. pray tell, what does that say about me?

i'm still not used to this "getting up early" thing. i know my body will eventually get on a better schedule, but not yet. on workdays, i have my alarm set, and i'm tired and cranky. this weekend, i've stayed up late [but not too late]...and slept until noonish...

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

SQUEEEEEE!!!!! see this? i did, in fact, post this to blogger from the command line, from a program i am in the middle of writing! i still have a lot of work to do on it, since i want there to be a way to enter a title and post text from the program, have the program plug that info into the xml in a template text file, and upload it from there...

testing...testing...1...2...3...

Posted on September 14, 2008
this is a test of the emergency blogger-from-the-command-line system. should this be a real attempt at posting to blogger from my command line, there would be actual content here. if this were a real attempt, i would also have finished coding a way to type the blog entries from within the program instead of just pulling this from the xml template file...

let's give a hand to Lewis B. Moon. he has taught us what not to do, no matter what your profession...and taught us that being an attorney is no excuse for a bevy of behaviours: being drunk and disorderly.operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.spitting in a police officer's face...

i was looking through the cable channel guide for a show to watch. on WE, there's a show on called "9/11: Millionaire Widows." how tasteless. there's Bad TV, and there's TV That Should Never Have Been Made. that's what "Women's Entertainment" is supposed to be now? ugh...

i love sleeping in. sleeping until 11:30 in the morning only becomes more glorious when you've been getting up at 7am all week. all summer, sleeping until 11:30 was the norm. this morning, it was a yummy treat. i'm still surprised that i slept that long, since i fell asleep around 12:15 last night, but i really did need all that sleep...

worky worky work

Posted on September 12, 2008
i've already discovered two advantages that being a real associate has over being a summer associate: i don't have to hang it all up and go back to the awfulness of law school in twelve weeks.no mandatory meetings at 9am every friday.alright, off to work...

i can tell by the pixels.

Rob linked me to this video this evening. this wee bit of hilarity goes out to all of you who are frustrated with elections, politics, and all that jazz. it's a beautiful snark on all of it.

sigh.

today's kawaii-not sort of summarizes how i feel right now: i need to get used to the fact that i'm a stupid n00b, and a few stupid n00b mistakes are not the end of the world. i expect myself to be perfect right out...i know it's unrealistic, but still...
