School & Some Good News
Right, well today was the first day of orientation. And let me tell you, it did not get off to a very auspicious start. First off, my alarm clock apparently doesn't work. Not that it bothered to give me any indication of this. So I woke up late and missed talking to Pete for the second day in a row. That made me grumpy. More grumpy-inducing is that ( Read more... ) -
Sony Reader saves my shoulders
The 'assignment' they gave us for orientation was something like 83 pages of text we were theoretically supposed to print out and bring with us on the plane and to class.

Vampire and Werewolves and Witches, OH MY!
So I've been working on this blog post over on the book blog that I thought was really cool...
Admittedly most of my research came from PBS and Wikipedia, but I'm a busy law student, y'know! Since over on the book blog the comments seem to run to: Can you help me with my term paper about vampires?, I figured I'd let you take a look at it. Hope you ( Read more... ) -

Seriously, go take a look-see. Funniest thing I've read in a long time.

Silliness
Is it wrong that I laugh everytime I see the latest Bertolli commercial? Not because it's funny itself (although it tries), but because a company promoting Italian food is using a French composer's opera set in Spain to do it... Were there not enough Italian operas to choose from?
