Ok, so I have to make a new backup of everything just in case the domain goes down, and I have to move. Why? Well my other domain hosted on the same server for almost a year has been down for 24 hours, and just in case the same thing happens to this one I'll be prepared. Until then, I'll be posting in my livejournal so if you're not on my friend's list make sure you let me know. Of course, quirky law stuff will be public there.

What was NBC expecting when they zoomed in on Tom Cruise while Nicole Kidman was announcing the Best Actor nominees, and again after Sean Penn won? That was just tacky!

My server, endore.com, has gone to hell. They've killed their live support, taken down their phone numbers, and they don't answer support emails anymore. I can't use my morphiadream.com email accounts because they won't tell me if they're fixed. If blackglass goes down I'm screwed because that's going to be alot of money down the drain. How could such a good service with such a good reputation let itself fall like that? Needless to say, I'm peeved.

Hey Mr. President. Now where exactly were those weapons of mass destruction?

To all the people who tried to comfort me by telling me not to feel bad because JFK Jr. failed the bar like 5 times, well here's the big screw you. Don't get mad. I know you were trying to make me feel better, but until you've been there you just don't get it. But thanks for the thought. And I really liked the article.

Woman in court for driving under the influence in her wheelchair. No, it's not a Texas, thank goodness, but I find this oddly humorous from my point of you considering what I'm like after a drink or two. Poor woman.

Bar study has been bar study. Just today I was bragging to my mother about how I was at the same level I left off right when I took the insufferable exam and that things were looking up. Hey, look at me. I actually like studying solo without the pressure of competition and people going mad around me. Then I took the first 20 Evidence questions, and ladies and gentlemen I have been humiliated beyond belief. Apparently I don't even remember what hearsay is. Ouch!

No worries, I still have 5 and a half weeks.

Flew back into SA last night after a canceled flight and a delay. I was really glad to finally get here.

Saw Underworld with the roomie and ate Chinese. Now I'm pretending to study for the bar. Am reminded that not everyone is pro 'other bar review course.'

Last night I received a call from a friend to see how I was doing, and I said I was fine, and he had the audacity to critizice my choice for a bar review course. As if BAR/BRI were the answer. I don't recall everyone who took it passing the bar this last time. No, I didn't take it last time, but I'm not a lecture girl either. I can't sit in a room and stare at a tv screen for three hours. I can look at a computer and do multiple choice questions. I can use a program that will analyze what I'm doing wrong and work at fixing my weaknesses. Interactivity is key, not the other way. Besides, I just found out that I get my own mentor whom I have to turn assignments into and stuff. So he can take his criticism and shove it up where ever he damn well pleases. I'm not going through this again.

According to the latest polls music downloads, illegal ones that is, are slowing down. All the major download programs show some decrease in usage, but where is the so-called 'half' the article reports that has disappeared? What the article doesn't mention is that people won't be so quick to admit that they download music, nor has it factored in any of the new underground software that has emerged to take the place of Kazaa and Grokster. Yes, the RIAA lawsuits were succesful. They scared people. Many stopped downloading music but a whole lot of others searched for another way and they will continue to do so.

I'm going to study for the bar. I'm going to study for the bar. Dear god I'm going to study for the bar. Again.

::much angst ensues::

As long as I don't start quoting stuff about easments and don't christian the next cart the roomie and I steal from HEB as Larcency the 18th then I should be mildly sane come Oscar time.

Stephen, Mom, and I had a LOTR festival this weekend. We decided to watch both extended editions yesterday on the surround sound system. Let me tell you, now that was a sweet experience. I had another geek moment during Fellowship in the Council at Rivendell scene. Actually it was just prior to it, but there's actually a hint of the Gondor leitmotif there and I turned excitedly to Stephen at that moment and managed to scare the hell out of my mother. The brother was amused.

For the record, I loved the TTT extended edition. I wish I had had a chance to see it before seeing ROTK just for the Faramir scenes, but it was ok. Today we remedied that.

We went to see ROTK again, and I still can't stop crying. What an amazing movie. I think I've seen history, and it will be a long time before anything will ever surpass what Peter Jackson has brought to the masses. For now I think I'll just mourn the fact that I won't get to see Aragorn or Pippin in any more adventures. Though there is of course the extended edition that has yet to come.
