Alas!; or, The Sad Seven-and-a-Half

Why oh why could my feet not have been a perfect 10?

Well, this stinks...

I swear someone cut out about three months of this semester. I haven't even had a chance to post the stories about finals from LAST semester and finals are almost upon us again. Seriously. Not. Cool.

Maybe I'll just do a compilation later with any stories from this round of finals... because I haven't got time to post them now; I'm supposed to be studying.

*whimper*

You know you've been in law school too long...

...when the funniest thing you've seen in several days has to do with the Supreme Court.

In other news, my oral argument for advocacy is tonight. Not looking forward to doing it, but it will be such a relief to have it OVER WITH. No more Kendricks! Woohoo!

That is, at least until next year when I TA.... D'oh!

Happy Birthday, Frederic! or, Better Late than Never

Note: So I wanted to get this up earlier but YouTube is blocked on campus... but it's up now and the dateline will still be right, so it'll have to do.

*ahem*
Happy Birthday to You,
Happy Birthday to You,
Happy Birthday, Dear Frederic,
Happy Birthday to You!

You have finally reached the ripe old age of 38!

Now let's go get some ice cream while you sing...




P.S. If you can't catch what's going on, here's one with misspelled subtitles.

P.P.S. But in the meantime.... Squeeee!!!

Mirth, misery, and madness

Now conveniently combined here.

Mirth for obvious reasons.

Misery at seeing the horrible abuse some people commit.

And most of all, madness because it's driving me crazy that I had to stop reading the site because I was laughing too much and causing disruption in the library so I have to wait until I get home to see the rest.

I'm "blaming" you, R2!

New Year, New Haircut

So I got my hair cut yesterday and I'm going through the weird new haircut phase. I like the way it turned out (and my sister tells me it's super-cute, which is a relief because it's kind of different and new) but I'm having a hard time getting used to it not being there anymore, length-wise, and having a lot more of it fall into my face than usual. I keep doing the little head-shake thing to make it fall into place, and sometimes I forget that there's a new place it's supposed to be falling into than it used to do so I end up shaking my head over and over like I've got some sort of palsy. And I have no idea if I can actually keep it looking cute -- those of you who know me (and if you're actually reading this blog, chances are very good that you do) know that my hair and I have a standing feud and I tend to lose more skirmishes than I'd like. (Booo!) Plus the fact that you can never get it looking like the stylist did it. Oh well. Par for the course.

But in the meantime, it's way cute (palsy notwithstanding). Just ask Rachel.

(And Happy 2008, everybody!)
