Batman Redux

A compelling cinematic experience (and a good study break)...

Last Day of Hell

Today is the last day that I will ever take another law school class. I'm a little sad, but the second year that is sitting next to me in the LRC giving first years the most horrible, arrogant advice ever reminds me that I can't wait to get tha fuck out of here. See ya suckers!!

That Time of Year

It's the last week before finals. It's the time of year where I stop wearing makeup and trying to look decent because I just don't have the time. As usual, I have fallen through on my plan to study throughout the semester and now I'm cramming everything. Thank the lord that this is the last time I will ever have to take a final exam. I don't know if I can handle any more.

On a less depressing (or at least a different kind of depressing) note, I spent my weekend trying to get deep fryer grease off of every surface of the tavern that I'm hoping to have up and running by Memorial Day weekend. I need a new kitchen floor, new paint, a dishwasher, a refrigerator/freezer, a new window, sheetrock, plumbing that doesn't empty directly into the river, and an inspection of the appliances to make sure they work right. That's about it. Oh, and BEER. I'm going to need a keg to myself when this month is over. I'll also save one for my faithful blog readers - we'll all need it for one reason or another!

The wackos are loose

Most of the 5 people who read this blog already know that we had a security 'incident' at Lewis & Clark this morning when some tard came to school in a belt made of spent ammunition and the police freaked out. And now the whole world will know...this excerpt is from breitbart.com:

"At Oregon's Lewis & Clark College, another student was detained by campus police Wednesday shortly before a vigil for the Virginia Tech victims when he was spotted wearing an ammunition belt. Portland police later determined that it was "a fashion accessory" made of spent ammunition, and said the man did not have a weapon. The belt was confiscated."

Now, obviously this guy wasn't going to do anything...I think it's pretty clear that if someone really wanted to unload rounds into anyone, he'd go to the law school first. Even normal people hate lawyers.

They're famous!

This is the article about Earth Erotics that I mentioned a couple posts ago. Check it out!

Forget law, I'm gonna be a bartender

I took a big scary leap last weekend when I agreed to lease a space that used to be a bar. In figuring out what I need in order to be a business owner, I'm finding out that there are a LOT of requirements from everyone...the state, the county, the town, the health inspector, distributors...it's gonna be a lot of work. Apparently I need a dishwasher. And plumbing that doesn't empty right into the Columbia River. Just some small hurdles...but it's either this or be a lawyer. Since I decided that I could be a bar owner, I've actually woken up in the mornings NOT feeling as though I just want to pull the covers back over my head until the date for the bar exam has passed.

Anyway...I'll keep you posted on my progress...wish me luck!

Doing It Green

Two of my friends have started an online store that features earth-friendly, non-cancer-causing sex toys and bedroom products. It's a great idea, and they have a nice website with some fun stuff - check out Earth Erotics and also look for their mention in next week's Willamette Week!

I'm a hippie

The group that I sing with has been asked to play in the Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle. Maybe I'll get discovered!

Happy Good Friday

I love Easter. I mostly love the getting jelly beans part. But I also like that it's kind of like New Year's Eve in that I get to use the 'spiritual rebirth' theme to make resolutions to be a better person. This year, however, I've decided that I'm perfect and don't need to change. :) Instead, I'm going to give a dollar to the guy who stands outside Wal-Mart with his cardboard sign.

Total random fact of the day (because Twinkies are awesome):

The Twinkie was invented by bakery manager James Dewar, who made thrifty use of shortcake pans that had previously been used only during the strawberry season. Twinkies originally contained a banana filling, but this was replaced with a vanilla filling during a banana shortage caused by the outbreak of World War II. Today, five hundred million Twinkies are produced each year.

Sad, Just Sad

I was waiting until something interesting, exciting or funny happened in my life before I posted a new message to this blog but unfortunately I may graduate before that happens. The last few weeks have been remarkably unremarkable. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I caught up on a lot of sleep and tv watching over the break and that was just what I wanted to do. So, that's all, and I apologize in advance for you having to waste 20 seconds of your life to read this.
