Rest in Pee
Sadly, after I came home from banging my knee from a skateboarding mishap...
I found the sea monkey tank had fallen into the toilet.
One sea monkey was found in the toilet. We are currently waiting to see if he will live. I'm not terribly optimistic.
Damn cats!

It is official!
I have a diploma hanging on my wall. It says that I have earned the degree of Juris Doctor. I'll take a picture and post it as soon as I figure out how to download them.
Party was wonderful, in the park. I killed the pinata, and drank lots of alcohol. What a fine day.

Dreams
So, to continue my paranoia, I woke from a dream this morning where I was in the middle of a final and went to the bathroom. While I was there, a professor started talking to me, and made me go for coffee. I then found out I was the possessor of the time piece of Alcazar. But I lost the timepiece. So there was a revolution, the whole world in turmoil, and I stuck forever with this unfinished final. Time still marched, though horribly slowly. One hour remained to finish the exam, and the world to save. Oh goodness. Best part: I was so much more concerned with the final that it made saving the world ancillary.
Anyway, I woke up, and checked my e-mail, hopefully for the last time, to see if the registrar had sent me an "unfinished business" letter that would say I wasn't really gonna graduate. There was naught. So, looks like all will be well.
If you wanna see a movie...go see Kung Fu Hustle. What a refreshing gem. I'm still giggling about it. Funny, clever, absurd and well-put together. It's not your ordinary movie. A pleasant surprise. Well, off to do nothing all day. YEAY!

SM
I lost another adult in the night. Down to 3 adults (2 male, 1 female), and two juvenilles. Damnnation. There are a hella lotta eggs though in the tank, so if I have to start again from scratch, it shouldn't be too hard. I'll just have to wait 5 months for the water to evaporate. I'm likely just not supposed to have them. I'm gonna feed them so they go out fat and happy.

I have taken amazing life!
A very sad event occurred this A.M. I aerated the Seamonkey tank, and one of my little ladies got sucked into the million bubble air pump. Rather sad as she didn't die immediately, but continued to wiggle her legs as she sank to the bottom. There is no way to know what is wrong, and I get to watch her die on the bottom. She has some eggs though, so maybe those will carry on her genetic material.
I'm down to five adults, one teenager and a baby. I need to find another method for aeration. Or be ever more vigilant in the current process.
I couldn't get up for class this morning. I took a four hour nap yesterday, and then stayed up late. Lesson learned. I'll get the audio CD from them next week, and make it up. I wish I could just do it all from home, as I gotta say, these early mornings are tough, made worse by the gaggle of annoying post-law-students that plague me at each turn. This learnin of the law becomes ever more tedious.
Good note - graduation is on Saturday.

hmmm
I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself this week. It is only a three day week, with graduation at the end of it, and Hong Kong Foofie in the middle. But, I do have a schedule and I've seemingly already destroyed it. I'm thinking this week is "work out the kinks" week. I'm actually rather excited about my new schedule, it includes a nap and lunch and dinner and sleep, and 10 hours of studying. I think I can do that.
So instead of studying, we have homemade tamales. Hmmm, I think the trade-off is worth it. I also redeemed my Lexis points for 10 itunes songs (I did have to fill out a horribly biased quiz first to get enough to buy anything).
My seamonkeys are HUGE. I have 3-4 males and 2-3 females (one of which is about to pop out some eggs). They are happy, which I measure by their frequently longer poop tails. They are the most fun in the morning when I move them from the dresser to the window. They freak out with the increased light and do backflips and swim madly around. I like them. They are a nice quiet alternative to the other animals in the house, which are driving me out of here, at least in the afternoon, when I need to study. They are all pack animals and one cannot move about the house without a contingency. I should feel honored I guess, if I didn't know they are just waiting for me to drop food.

From now on
I would like to be referred to as Dr. J.
Yes, I know I'm not really a doctor....But all is well, there is now a complete lack of any doubt about my graduation status, my last grade is in. Unless they just wanna be assholes, I have completed all requirements for being awarded a juris doctorate.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
now I just gotta work on that Esquire part.

WOOO HOOOOO
Well, grades are all in, and I did not fail Corporate Tax, in fact I did rather well for myself. All other classes were better grades than that, so WOO HOO. Evidently it is possible to not go to class and still pass all of your classes.
One grade still out there, the one for my A paper. An incomplete from last semester. We'll see what drama that will be.
Later gaters, I'm gonna graduate. FROM LAW SCHOOL!!!!!!

The newest blog obsession
sorry sara....
Blogshares - how much is your blog worth?....it seems that one has to maintain an even stream of incoming and outgoing links. Shitty because I use my blog to get to all my links...I guess I'll have to go back to using internet explorer's favorites.

Even nerdier than Star Wars:
A Star Wars spoof about the state of the judiciary. Oh lord, nerds of SciFi and law/political nerds meet. It's short though, so take a look.

Post removed because, while there was no defamation, I just don't wanna be sued. Sorry, Intellectual Property law and Science subjects make my eyes glaze over, but I really should have read that post of great sandwich! Lesson learned.
So, the vote totals:

PKD: 1.0
Karl Rove: 1.0
Kenny Loggins: .5
George Lucas: .25
Kenny Rogers WINS!!!!

PMBR ruled today!
WOW, it was awesome. Ok, not that great, but today we had a video lecture, and while I was initially bitching about that fact, I learned more today from that guy, than the previous two days with that skanky Hawai'i bitch. She annoyed the hell outta me. The video on the other hand, had some stories, but not so annoying and he was clear and succinct. YEAY!
Good news....I'm going to Las Vegas. On the weekend of June 18th. SWEET.
And tonight, I'm gonna make my study schedule. .....oh wait just a minute...it's 4:20

A long Tuesday
Hello everyone, sorry for the incommunicado. This week has been just as crazy as during finals though for more good reasons.
PMBR yesterday was funny. We spent two hours, putzing along, taking our time through Contracts, and then the instructor realized that we were running short of time. So we covered a bunch of things in 1.0 hour that likely should have taken at least 1.5 if not 2.0 hours. But she did have to tell us some stories about Beverly Hills and some twisted hypotheticals, that are made twice as long because she keeps asking if we've heard them, yes? well, I'll refresh your memories anyway.....thanks.
Her mommy and daddy showed up too. They decided to sit in the midddle of a row, during a lecture, then get up during the lecture, and come back during a different part of the lecture. So polite. The instructor did get points for shutting down the one person that asks a hella lotta dumb ass questions. My favorite though was concerning the mail box rule (my personal favorite), and we were told that it rarely applies and can be easily gotten around. It concerns sending an offer and acceptance via the postal mail service. So, the girl's question was, does it also count for faxes? Not to be too mean, but I paid a hella lotta money for this, and do not want to hear this woman ask dumb ass questions.
Well, I stayed downtown after PMBR and met up with Steve, got a couple of drinks and went to church to hear Chuck Palahunickakaiaick (author of Fight Club and Portland native) speak. Steve has a special unedited, British edition of his newest, "The Guts Effect" and we had Chuck sign it "you fuckin' bastard, Chuck Pallajdklsdjkdkjck." It was a lively event, he's an interesting storyteller. He handed out teriyaki beef air freshners to open while he was speaking, as he was telling a story about "Hot Pot" - where folks boil to death in hot springs. It was lovely to smell beef while hearing of flesh falling off of bones. I'm wondering if he got the idea from Hot Pot City, on 1st avenue. It's nice to hear a famous author speak in his hometown, which also happens to be your hometown (albeit adopted HT). He also handed out severed arms and legs and some meat bathmats. It was quite an event.
Well, back to the grind. I've got 50 questions to get through before noon.

Ahh, back at it
Just so we do not become complacent or dare celebrate and enjoy our newly free of law school feeling, PMBR started today. Granted I was free not to sign up and pay $1,000 for this lovely week of bar review instruction, but with my lack of self-discipline, well, I had to join in. I'm skeptical of its ability to assist me however, as it is taking an exam on a subject area in the A.M, and then reviewing the answers in the afternoon. Hmmm, seems kinda like with materials I could do that myself. They do throw in a few secrets to the bar, like fireworks are no longer considered super-dangerous....but it seems not quite worth the fuss. We'll see.
So new schedule. Bar review 9-12 every day, studying various shit from 1-4, then practice quiz from 7-10. That is what we are supposed to do, as evidently one can retain information efficiently when at it for no more than 3 hours. Another nugget, worth about $50, I suspect.
So, no more computers for me this summer except for typing on the home all ergo model. Really shitty is that I haven't taken hand-written notes for years, and I think my notes are absolute crap, I'm just writing not to use later, but to reinforce in my memory banks. Hope that works. Two months of hard-core action. WOO HOOO. And I thought I'd be a bit more normal. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

DONE
MO FO. I have taken my last law school exam. My fate is now in the hands of a few select law school professors. My wrists can now heal from the pain. I am free for two whole days to do as I please.
Then back to work. And then graduation. This rules.
Shout out to everyone that has assisted my endeavor to be Esq.
That is truly amazing. Truly.
For all you out there that thought I would make a very nice housewife. I would be, but I'm also more. Thanks for giving me the motivation through spite to finish this.
Upcoming posts: a day in the life of a sea monkey; and a recollection of the last three years.

have you ever noticed
That the judges that complain about activism in the court room are the ones that deliver the most activist decisions? Fucking hypocrites.
Funny though - when I type Scalia, and my spell checker underlines it, the suggestions are: scalier, scaley, slimey, activist fucking nimrod bunghole who takes away rights that he'll never need because he has money and power and can go to hell. hahahahahaha, ass hole. I may have made that last one up.
