Lists Make Everything Better
Feeling a bit negative, so I decided to write a list of good things that happened in 2011: Spent the summer in NYC with one of my best friends in the world. Got the summer internship of my dreams (even if it didn’t live up to expectations). Received straight As for the first time ever.  Seriously.  Ever. Got my first birthday gift from a friendship that has been growing for a long time,...

Terra WTF?
So, I’m watching Terra Nova, but then suddenly it’s some weird war opera with daddy issues. Totally not what I signed up for.

Cooties
For the second time in just a matter of months, I have not been able to kiss or hug my extended family when I saw them for fear of passing on a cold.  I can’t imagine what my family must think of me. So today I spent the afternoon disinfecting my apartment.  I washed all of the bedding - everything - then disinfected anything my hands come in contact with.  Everything from light switches to...

The BRAT Diet Sucks
baffledinbrooklyn replied to your post: Have Been Suffering From Mystery Disease for Three Days Gastroenteritis. Eat bland food for a few days. Bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast. Boring stuff. Oh, and drink lots of Gatorade. But…. but…  it’s Hannukah!  I have latkes in my near future!  Oh well… at least I have a fancy name for it now.  Thanks, Dr. Baffled! From now...

Have Been Suffering From Mystery Disease for Three...
I feel fine until I eat something. Then I feel like I’m dying. Have started a differential diagnosis symptom board on the wall of my bedroom.  Cause Dr. House does shit like that. Ugh.

Finals: Doneso, Doneski, Donerama
I am so tired.  I’m pretty certain that this will be my worst semester.  While it’s true that I am terrible at self-assessing my performances on law school exams, I know that I wasn’t as well-prepared for exams this semester.  For better or for worse, it’s done.  We’ll see how things went in a month or so. Thanks to all of you for cheering me on along the way.  I...

Fucking Law School Fuckers
Had to go to the library to print my notes for the exam tomorrow. Ran into classmate. HE HAS RE-READ EVERY SINGLE CASE THAT WAS ASSIGNED IN CLASS.  THREE MONTHS WORTH OF CASES.

Racing Turtle: On Christmas songs  →
myturtlespeedy: “Last Christmas I gave you my heart but the very next day, you gave it away…” Stop. First of all, giving someone your heart for Christmas is kind of a cop-out. Sure it’s magical and wonderful; probably the most precious thing we can give another person but you can just as easily give something…

Recent Happenings with PalmTreePalmTree
PalmTreePalmTree (at a bookstore, making a purchase): I think I hear a Wookie.
Store Clerk: Yeah there's a book over there that makes sounds.
PalmTreePalmTree: Wookie sounds?
Store Clerk: Yeah it makes all sorts of sounds.
PalmTreePalmTree: But... is it supposed to be like, barnyard sounds?
Store Clerk: Barnyard sounds?
PalmTreePalmTree: Yeah, like animals?
Store Clerk: No...?
PalmTreePalmTree: Oh good, it's supposed to be a Wookie then.
Store Clerk: Yes.
PalmTreePalmTree: Cause otherwise there's something wrong with that cow.

Top 5 Concerts Attended
Asked Lottie but she’s busy so I thought I’d answer myself cause it got me thinking! Phoenix at the Wiltern - They killed.  We could not stop dancing.  At the end of the show, they kept the lights down and the entire crowd stayed for a Michael Jackson tribute dance party.  No one wanted that night to end. Jon Brion at Largo - Tiny venue.  Dave Mustaine was sitting at the table behind...

To Whom It May Concern:
When you were compiling the playlist for your “Holiday Music!” satellite channel, you were probably supposed to select music that reminded people that Christmas was just around the corner and they needed to start buying presents RIGHT NOW! Instead, you used a keyword lyric search for “Christmas,” and as a result you included River by Joni Mitchell.  This was a mistake.  ...

Dear Tumblrs,
If it appears over the next week or so that I am stalking you, it is only because I am at my computer about 14 hours a day studying for finals. Sorry about that.  I’ll try not to be too creepy about it. Best, PalmTreePalmTree

Officially the Worst Class I Have Ever Taken
I seriously don’t know what we’re talking about.  We can talk for hours about policy shit in this class.  Unequal bargaining power, equitable procedures, blahblahblah.  This just gives the policy wonks in here opportunity to use big words and talk around the law.  What is the fucking law on this issue? Judges have a fundamental disagreement about who should or should not get justice,...

Weighing in on the National Defense Authorization...
I did a little reading (ACLU, NY Times, HuffPo, to name a few) so I thought I’d share some thoughts about the Senate’s recent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act.  Often when civil liberties organizations (or really any political advocacy groups) claim that a proposed law will have dangerous consequences, what they’re reacting to is poorly written statutory...
