Drinks, Dinner and a Romantic Comedy

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Tonight involved drinks, dinner and a romantic comedy. See I do date. I just date my best friend, we split the bill, and take seperate cabs home. After a couple drinks, but before going to see the movie, Jen and I had dinner that included this bit of conversation while talking religion: Jen: See, and that’s where they [...]

Trusting the Process

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Well, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to blog this or not, but frankly, I’m floating on air. After 4 weeks of classes, we took our second diagnostic/practice LSAT test today. A few hours later our scores were posted on the class website. I’ve improved. A lot. (Relatively speaking, of course… a small point jump makes [...]

Trivial Matters

Friday, April 18th, 2008

After working from home yesterday (which turned out to be more stressful than going into the office in some ways) I decided to take a night off from the intense study. Although I’m not supposed to drink while on my anti-depressent smoking cessation medication, and bars have also traditionally been triggers that have caused me to [...]

SCOTUS and the Death Penalty

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that administering the death penalty by lethal injection is not cruel and unusual punishment. With a 7-2 verdict from SCOTUS on Baze v. Rees, which challenged Kentucky’s lethal injection program as unconstitutionally cruel and unusual, that pretty much clears the way–for the first time since last [...]

The 7 Habits of a Highly Lazy Blogger

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

I’ve made it a policy to keep this blog-space as meme-free as possible – but every now and then I get tagged for one that actually involves a good writing prompt. This one comes from ann1962. A) List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself. B) Tag seven people to do the same. C) Do not tag the [...]

Interesting…

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Crazy Blind Date: Hmm, tempting… very tempting. I did make it one of my new year resolutions to go on at least 3 bona fide dates. Unfortunately, I don’t feel very attractive right now. I did my weigh-in at the gym tonight, and I’m back to my heaviest weight since high school. Good thing I’m [...]

Beautiful Spring

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Saw this lovely tree on the way to work. 99% of the time, I remember this tree as being ugly bare branches under gray-colored sky, so this splash of pink on a sunny spring day was a welcome change. I’m also on day 2 of the Wellbutrin. That’s right, it’s time for my annual “I’m [...]

What I’m listening to these days

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Last weekend, Jennifer introduced me to Swedish singer Lykke Li. I think I’m in love. The song in the video below is available as a free download on her website. (See “Secret Chapter) Lykke Li – Tonight (Live Phaser 2007) It’s been a week of new music. Other songs and artists that have caught my [...]

New Comic
