Whoo-hooo...

I wrote twelve pages of paper today (not including footnotes). Finally! The thing's a complete mess, but at least it's started. With another day, I might get most of the ideas on paper and then I'll just have to worry about structure and fine-tuning.

Stop. Breathe. Break...

This is an odd point in my life. School is ending. A new career is beginning. Things are uncertain. The economy?s in flux. I?ve been offered a great job that I don?t think is the right choice for this point in my life. Casting this opportunity off for the unknown is a frightening decision...

Midnight's Children...

I've finished it (and now moved on to The First Man by Albert Camus). I'm just trying to find the time to write a post about it (as well as decide how I want to approach the review). Question is, have you read it? PS - A publisher recently sent me a book to review on the blog, so I've got that to do as well! Augh! This semester is turning out to be quite a doozy.

Girlfriends and Boyfriends...

THANK YOU Chicken Magazine for your latest post. You?ve touched on something that I wanted to write about, but as of yet was too fearful. Yes, you?ve given me courage. A few weeks ago, I was out with a set of girlfriends, and one of them asked, ?Do you think the premise in ?When Harry Met Sally? is true? Do you think men and women can never be friends?? ?That is such a crock,? I replied, ?Of

When I first got Martha, she'd wake me up every morning at the crack of dawn by crying in her crate. These days were awful because not only was her alarm clock set earlier than mine, once the crying began, I had to lie in bed and ignore her until it was over...

I'm supposed to be writing a paper...

Posted on March 18, 2008
Actually, I'm supposed to be writing three papers... And you know what I've done today? Skimmed various journal articles and thought, "No, no, no. This is not what I'm looking for." Tried to access medical studies online and obtained nothing more than abstracts...

Spare me the annoyance...

Does Camus have a middle name? This has been driving me crazy for too long today. If you know the answer, please indulge. Thanks, Ana

Not for another twenty years...

I'm doing some research and the tv is on in the background. Oprah is doing some kind of clothes show or something and one of the fashion people just said, "Pencil skirts are really great for women in their fifties." I'm wearing a pencil skirt today...

Really?

My clocks say 11:22 pm. My computer say it's 12:22 am. It would have been nice to know that it was jump forward weekend prior to midnight on a Sunday. Then again, it's better than finding out when you walk into Monday morning class an hour late.

Missing the Point...

There?s an article today in the NYT discussing high school athletes and college athletic scholarships. After dumping thousands upon thousands of dollars (and hours and hours of time) into a child?s athletic career, many parents are shocked to discover that many athletic scholarships cover little of tuition cost...

i need more exciting television...

Posted on March 10, 2008
You know what I hate? TV shows that are two-parters like tonight's Medium. I never know if I'll be able to watch from week-to-week. You know what's more annoying? Watching the show tonight and thinking, "It's so obvious! The two dreams are related...

Oh, the irony!

Eliot Spitzer. Busted in relation to a prostitution ring. WTF was he thinking? I bet Martha Stewart is laughing her ass off.

Awesome Article Title...

Men who do housework may get more sex. Ooh, baby, I just love it when you vacuum the rug. Do it again!

Martha!

Posted on March 05, 2008
Last night Martha was hanging out in her crate as I sat studying at my desk. "You look a little peaked, kiddo," I said when I looked over at her. A few minutes later I checked on her again and she'd barfed all over the crate. "Oh poor baby, what did you eat?" Martha wobbled over to me, but still looked like she might get sick at any moment, so I fenced her into the kitchen and monitored her

To all the non-lawyer people...

Posted on March 03, 2008
FYI, your friend the attorney/law student/judge/whatever has seen and received every lawyer joke known to man. You do not need to forward them to us. And no, for the record, we do not find them especially funny. End post.

Bacon!

Posted on March 03, 2008
'not martha' is so cool, but today her blog is exceptionally cool. Check out her foray into bacon. The possibilities abound - you could fill them with scrambled eggs, biscuit mix, cheese. OMG.
