Here's a better view

The Darwin award goes to my neighbor. I mentioned a while ago, about how he was powerwashing his pool, thus standing in an amount of water, his child helping out. The extension cord is on the inside of the pool, not yet touching the water. It would just take one wrong move...

And if you all wanna see my Vegas photos, start at the bottom if you want the comments to make sense

Thought you boys might like to be able to manipulate a woman for once:

Don't worry, if she gets stuck, just use your mouse to continue her on her way.

For you boys on the hobo bandwagon...

Can I, can I ... Please?

I want one. Estes Simian Space Transport Rocket Kit - 2121 (NEW! - Arrives October). That is what I call a good forward!

What sucks...

Forwards (esp. chain e-mails - nothing will happen to you if you break the chain, I promise) Amen. Rare forwards are acceptable, but not if they are the only form of communication.

Edit: This is funny though...stupid forwards.

I guess I should have taken Legal History

I had no idea the impact of the Ten Commandments on Anglo-American legal history. Nice excuse. US bans Commandments in courtroom: "The judges, however, rejected a proposal to ban Commandment displays from all public buildings. Some displays, they decided, would be permissible if they were portrayed neutrally in order to honour America's legal history."

File-sharing suffers major defeat

And other recent Supreme court (SCT) shiz. Funny, I used to talk about the SCT all the time, not realizing that those are the initials for my boy. Something musta been meant to be.

Need a break?

Go watch Land of the Dead. It's hilarious. Not quite as funny as Kung Fu Hustle (Gong fu), but both have the same amount of complete ridiculousness involved. I love when people don't take themselves too seriously and then make an entertaining movie. I like the serious ones too, but Lars Von Trier is rather difficult to wade through (especially when one just wants a brain break).

Sea monkeys are well, there are about 50-75 of them currently, only a few days old, but it is nice to see so much life in there. Sadly, the reason the last batch all died was a mysterious disease that took over the tank. I would like to get some Sea Medic, which destroys all the harmful bacteria in a tank, but it seems to be unavailable to purchase from anyone, anywhere. Messed up. So, we'll have to hope for the best with this batch. I think as long as they don't get dumped into the toilet, they may have a fighting chance.

I had an all day exam slated with the bar review course today. Alas, I chose to administer the exam myself at home. I don't know the substantive law well enough to get anything out of the exam, other than frustration and anxiety. In a move for mental health, I opted to get stuff done on my own. I have one month left before the bar. Funny, before a law school exam, I was prone to counting down the hours, and alloting what to learn based on that. The bar exam takes the same route, but this time I'm counting days. 30 hours (law school) = 30 days (bar exam). Arrrrgggghhh, so little time to learn so very much. But I'm on it.

Ah HA!

I knew it.

I was lamenting over the fact that there is NO way I can learn all this information before taking the bar. Seriously, impossible.

I thought a bit about how in "Catch Me if You Can," Frank W. Abagnale, Jr. seemed to study for the bar for 2 weeks and then pass the LA bar. I was slightly to mostly miffed by that ever since I watched the movie, and today it came back to me. So, instead of studying, I did a little research. Practicing and Evading the Law : ". . . after his third try Frank passed and received a license to practice law."

Ahhhh, now I feel better.

I love William Shatner!

This may be the funniest thing I've seen in a while: Rocket Man by William Shatner. After you watch that, check out this: Family Guy's Stewie's rendition.

Got shit to get rid of?

I read about freecycleportland on the BBC, it is a group that allows people to "recycle" household goods, clothing, appliances, etc. listing them for free giveaway. They offer it, you take it. Or you can request stuff. It's a great idea, so you don't have to throw perfectly good stuff away. One thing that annoys me - people post a LOT. So make sure you have settings to receive e-mails (if you want) in bulk, not one at a time, or your inbox will be filled instantaneously. I'm not sure I'll use it much longer, but there are some things in the basement (a lot) that need to be given away. Maybe I'll list them on here first. Anyone want a bread maker?

WOW, am I bored

Take a class in bodice making.

Friday nights

What magic does Friday night have that makes it suck so bad to have to stay home and study?

There is some excitement in the air, that permeates my walls - bbq smells, child squeals and adults laughing. I'd blow off studying if my limited group of friends wasn't also studying or already celebrating the end of their week.

And I have a pack of animals that won't leave me alone! They keep sneaking up on me, like I can't see them, trying to steal my food.

Clam jerky. HAHAHA. Vegas has it all. The even have Alien Jerky. I'm gonna have to go back just to see all the crazy shit that we missed.

Thanks to Crap

Crapartist stumbled upon this well before any of us had blogs. I stumbled upon it (I do believe with more of them) and wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to watch: G.I. Joe public service announcements
