Yazzy has no will power whatsoever. Now that I have read it, I think it's a rumor or very bad fan fiction. Am cringing.
Am I the only one who is uncertain about whether wanting Spike to be the subject of the Shanshu prophecy? Granted, Spike did a major thing. I'd just hate to think he'd lose his uber cool self as a human, which is why the potential spoiler would fit.
POSSIBLE SPOILER
But, but, a slayer? A male slayer? I don't think so.
Damn Hercules!!!!! He just posted spoilage on AICN that details how Spike comes back. I haven't highlighted the text yet, and it could be fabricated, but damn it. I have no will power!!
Information is supposed to be a good thing, but after reading up on people's reactions to the side effects of topamax, I'm near panic level. I just found out today that it messes with another med I'm on. I should have gone with Imitrene or something. Ack! Maybe I should just chill. Mom doesn't get any bad side effects, so I should be ok, right.
Streisand sues over a picture of her California home. She claims it's an invasion of her privacy.
Why oh why do I not have any sympathy for this woman? Not because of the impending lawsuit, but just in general. I've never been a fan.
Quickies:
The person who got me Buffy Season 1 on DVD so rocks my world. You really do, and thank you. I haven't received it yet, but I've been checking my mailbox religiously. Maybe I'll have it by tomorrow. lol
Saw the doctor today. He officially diagnosed me with migraines. Duh. I'm on the same medication as my mother, and he gave me samples of three meds to try when and if I get a migraine. No imitrex, thank goodness.
It was amusing though, because the doctor's little brother is a classmate supposedly. I think he was amused when he found out I graduated from St Mary's, and that the chick in the scooter was me. I think I'm amused.
Oh, and Netflix is cool. Saw some great movies too. Reviews later methinks.
Philadelphia defies the Boy Scouts. Chapter decides to include sexual orientation in its nondiscrimination policy. Now this is sweet.
A Colorado judge has thrown out a death sentence where the jury used the Bible during its deliberations. I got chills reading that they were even allowed to consult the Bible. A jury is supposed to follow a judge's instructions, not a book. I'm shocked it was even allowed in the room with them.
Wang sued over needle. A client stepped on a needle in the store where she was trying on one of Wang's bride's dresses. She even stated that the floor was littered with sewing materials. She just thought it would be smart to walk around barefoot.
Just got back from seeing The Matrix: Reloaded, and right as we left the theater the migraine hit, but I think I caught it on time for once. I'm just waiting for the nausea to go away, and I should probably lie down.
The movie was amazing. It was like reading a comic book, but instead of turning pages and admiring images, it's all played out on the big screen. The action scenes were incredible. I didn't care much for the battle against all the Agent Smiths, partly because there was too much slow motion, and it looked more like a computer simulation. It's my only gripe about the movie. Everything else was just fantastic. Katie was amused with the Frenchman since she was the only one in the theater who understood what he was saying (all nasty cuss words). I like the fight immediately following it, and the highway chase. It was downright awesome, not to mention I was very much amused with the twins. I really liked that it started out rather slow, and the dance scene intermixed with the love scene was very poignant. Needless to say, I want the soundtrack, and methinks a second viewing is in order.
The movie ends with tons of unanswered questions, and the philosophy underlying the story is amazing. I like movies that make you think, that don't deliver everything at the end on a silver plater. What I was watching on screen was a story being told in a universe completely of its own. Katie likened it to Star Wars and we both understood why many compared it to the Empire Strikes Back. It's very revealing, yet at the same time the new discovery is open-ended. It's all about choice.
One little word of advice. If you haven't seen it yet, I'd suggest you see the Animatrix shorts first, then the movie. The movie contains references and people that are in the shorts, so it might be a tad confusing though not vital to your enjoyment of the movie.
I'm sorry for the lack in ramblings. Between getting used to the new scooter, traveling back and forth to school, studying for the bar, and cooking, I just have no time!! I am more comfortable with the scooter now, which is a plus. I just need to get myself into the habit of taking time to study after I've left the school. I didn't go yesterday, but I did study for 4 hours, so I'm proud of myself. The goal is to get through the rest of Evidence today, and then tackle Contracts for the next three days, taking the test on Tuesday when the group meets back up. Then we review everything and start on Torts. I feel like a 1L! Scary. It would be scarier if I didn't remember anything, but thankfully I do.
On the schedule for today is a visit to the movies to see the Matrix!
I'm still working on the Buffy review. I had to watch it again before I could start. Actually, Katie and I watched the first two episodes of season 1, and then we watched the last episode ever. It will require more viewings before I'm satisfied. I still can't believe it's over.
The roommate and I are now speculating as to what will happen on Angel. We're both looking foward to the smack down between Angel and Spike. We think Spike is the one prophesied, and that he'll return as a human. I'm not sure I like that idea. Well, as long as he doesn't return as William the bloody awful poet.
Then there is the spin off. There was much speculation, but the roomy and I have both decided that the red head who was doing some major ass kickage will probably be one of the main actors in a new series, should there be one a year from now. And, I just realized that one of the slayers in training that I really liked also died in the episode. Just, not cool.
But, I'm getting ahead of myself.
Anyway, I'm happy despite the fact that I've been pouring over evidence today, and my back was being a pain. I'm really having a difficult time getting used to the new scooter, but boy does that thing go fast!! I was zooming down the hill near my apartment full speed. The wind felt good. I just don't drive it to well. Oops.
And yay! Rueben Studdard won!
::bounce:: I hit a C!! I hit the C at the end of Phantom of the Opera, and one of these days I'll hit an E natural. But I hit a C, which I haven't done in ages.
Today will be devoted to a review of the last episode of Buffy and the joys of Civil Procedure, which I have not touched since my first year in law school.
Tomorrow I will be in mourning. Gah!!!!
It's official. I'm a lawyer. Yes, run while you can. ;-)
Graduation was yesterday, and my friends made me cry! When they announced my name, and I rolled across the stage, the entire student body stood along with half the people in the Convocation Center. I still get all weepy thinking about it, and I don't know what to say though I bet any pictures taken at the time will bear a very red faced me.
I still can't believe it. Granted, I can't practice yet. Not until I pass the bar in November. But that's ok. The key is to pass the bar, and it will happen. I guarantee it.
It was nice to see everyone at graduation too.
My family came and so did Lisa and Katie, and we ate at La Fogata. I had the best green enchiladas. My mouth still waters just thinking about it. Afterwards we went back to the dorm and managed to pack all of my belongings in three cars. Now I'm here in my apartment, enjoying my free wireless connection and watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I just said goodbye to my parents, and for now I'm just fine. Though there is still tons of unpacking to be done.
Woe for FOX and American Idol. Apparently, the idea for the show was stolen by Cowell and his associates. I'm wondering if it's a SOL case.
By the way, why couldn't it have been a Locke and Studdard finale. I don't like Clay Aiken.
Farewell to Les Miserables on Broadway. I never expected it to close. At least not for another few years. I guess I'll never get to see it in New York. That's ok. I saw it when it was on tour.
My thoughts exactly. A Buffy related comic. Funny.
Decision to be made in the DVD copying software case involving the entertainment industry. I'm seriously worried about the possible outcome of this case.
Wishlist updated. Now I have to start replying to dozens of emails.
San Antonio. HOT! San Antonio. Needs rain. It's practically sweltering outside. I did not think Katie and I would make it back from Sonic. We did, and I'll have an awesome tan in a few days. Right now I'm just hoping my arms don't start hurting. That would be bad. I started joking around saying that if I got any darker I might actually look Latina. Only problem with that theory is that I have green eyes and white features. My brother is darker than me and he still gets pegged as white, but he actually likes that.
And this was a random post. Yay.
Oh, I finally saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch and I loved it. I need to get my hands on the soundtrack and actually buy the DVD, since the copy I have isn't mine. I really like the song, Origin of Love, and I'm such a dork because I so knew where the idea for the song came from. Plato's "Symposium" and the "Phaedrus" are two of my favorite dialogues, and Aristophanes' story about soulmates was the highlight of the "Symposium." At least it was for me since I'm such a hopeless romantic.
I'M GRADUATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bad news: My grandfather did pass away last night. So today has been bittersweet.
Stressed. Very much so.
Parents are flying out to Mexico. Wish I could go.
Have to call and see what happened. Don't want to.
Still not on the graduation list.
Still missing three grades.
Think I avoided migraine number 2 of the month.
Yay.
Will probably come roaring to life this weekend.
Boo.
If he's gone, no matter all the bad memories, he loved me dearly, and I think I loved him. It's still not comforting.
I hate limbo.
Dante was wrong.
New private journal entry
Mom may not make it to graduation. Apparently, my grandfather is dying, which isn't news because he's been dying for the last five years supposedly, but the old man just keeps ticking along. Except he's really done it this time, but he's still fighting. Doctors say he should be in a coma because his sodium count is so low he shouldn't even be alive. His heart is giving out though, so these next few days will be interesting. Mom thinks he could make it through, but it's a maybe. They'll know this afternoon.
I don't know what to think. And this should probably go in my private journal, but right now I don't care.
Grades are starting to come in. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was freaked. Three classes left, and they're the ones I'm most worried about. Gah, just get me through Wednsday.
People suck. That's all.
I just checked my voicemail, and there was a message from L. Apparently, at the SBA party last night I was voted as the 'most likely to be on the cover of Time Magazine.' Um, sure. I'm amused now. Me? LOL.
So, I paid $500 for the bar so I can type the sucker, and now I have to pay $52 more so I can use a laptop. Damn it, I'm a law student with loans. Do they think money grows off trees for me? I just had to pay this month's rent too. I'm not amused.
Bush and Blair are nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. No, it isn't a joke. This world is just wacked. I'm so disappointed.
Taken from steph.
We got the apartment!!!!!!! Katie moves in tomorrow, and I move in a week from tomorrow. Why? Because I have no bed, and I refuse to sleep on the floor. That and I can't live without net access for a week. I know, I'm so pathetic, I love it.
But of course I have so much to do now.
List:
- call Road Runner to get us connected
- buy a bed
- buy furniture
- pass law school and graduate. lol
- take it easy and get rid of the migraine (which means no trip to downtown tomorrow so I can go to the movies on Saturday. ::pout:: L. doesn't want to see X-men 2. Methinks J. and I will have to convince her even if it is my second time seeing it.)
- find a neurologist so I can get hooked up with drugs that actually work against migraines instead of puny ibuprofen appointment on May 30th
- PACK all my junk
- read my books, especially finish Clash of Kings then move onto A Storm of Swords. Also have to finish reading and/or start On Writing by Stephan King, Coraline by Neil Gaiman, The London Vampire Panic by Michael Romkey, The Lioness from the Dragonlance series.
- buy groceries for the next week since school will be closing down leaving me without food.
- eventually go downtown to buy things for the apartment
- watch my DVDs
- did I mention, graduate?
- send invitations to college friends.
- finish transfering stuff form morphia to the new server
- work on a new design for the blog
- work on a new design for my personal website and update
- fix the cgi on the domain
- update blackglass
- and maybe try to write a challenge by tomorrow.
I bet I could do all of this in a week. As long as the migraine goes away. I'm already on day 5, but it's getting better finally after taking 800mg of ibuprofen. Three months ago 400mg used to be enough. Oh well.
Finals are over, for good. Same for the migraine. Graduation here I come.
Oh yeah, it would be nice to hear from the apartment people. Please let me in. I promise to be a good tenant.
By the way, was not tonight's episode of Buffy excellant. Much jaw dropping and screaming insued, much to my detriment in regard to the disappearing migraine. Apparently, it doesn't like screaming, but it was so worth it.
You scored 9 out of a possible 10
Born to be Wilde
Congratulations. You are a literary genius. You clearly have spent far too many warm summer days indoors writing frightening verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg. Go out and get some fresh air and buy a Gareth Gates record. (and if you don't know what we're talking about, you're a lot less sad than us)
from the Guardian.
nik, remember the bet? Well, i was right, just off by one day. Though I could be wrong. It could be sinuses, except it's starting to hurt in that area right behind my eye....
I'm going to freak if it is a bloody migraine!! It doesn't surprise me, but still. Can't they just ever go away for good?
I'll just wait and see. Now I have to go meet L. so we can study for Med Mal. Then my finals will be over. I too just realized that these were my last finals ever, which is nice considering how the DTPA and Human Rights finals kicked my ass literally. I think I'm still traumatized...
Half the people I know passed the bar exam and the other half didn't. But to those who did pass, Care, Mere, C. and Frank, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
