I like Hugh Jackman. I think he's a good actor, but I never considered him gorgeous........until now. My god, it's the hair. I want to braid it! Run my fingers through those glorious brown strands. I don't want him to cut it off!! And now, I know I will have to admit to two facts. I have a Hugh Jackman hair fetish. I will see Van Helsing aka Vampire Hunter D in disguise!!
And for the record, I'm rather disappointed that Eddie Izzard did not win a Tony.

It's been decided for me, it's a little too early to have a nervous breakdown over the bar exam. This of course did not prevent the tiny flood yesterday, which I could not spare thanks to the unavoidable hangover. Damn! Then F. paid me a visit today. F. rocks my world. He told me to chill. I really should listen to people more.
The group thing is not working as well as I had hoped partly because I do feel left out because I can't stay the full time, which wouldn't be as problematic except one of the members has made it seem like it is. It's a matter of coordination, and I just need to stop letting her and them bug me. And regardless of what they say, even though we are taking the first MBE tomorrow, I will still be working on questions an hour each day until I know I can easily score over a 130 on that part of the test.
I'm going to treat this like a job. Study during the day until 5 or 6, and then have the evenings off. Study maybe two or three hours on weekends, but for the most part I'm going to try and give myself those days off. My sanity needs it.
But for now, it's back to answering questions since we are taking a simulated MBE tomorrow (ugh) and it would be nice to at least get 50 questions right on the first try, but I know I'll do better.
Oh yeah, and I promise not to let the group get to me. At least I'll try. I think we're driving each other crazy!! ::laughs::

Gay pride event no longer allowed at the Department of Justice because the month of June has not been recognized as gay pride month by our President. Yet, an event was held last year. I wonder what made them change their minds. It couldn't be that our President is gearing up for re-election.

So far, after four jello shots and a mudslide, my liver seems to have survived. I can't say the same for a few friends.
It's rather sad. I think I'm beginning to understand why so many of us enjoy drinking. It helps us escape from the stress. For once, at least right now, I appreciate that brief respite.

Cell users can keep their numbers. It's about time. It may be too late for me when I switch carriers in July (from Sprint to Verizon no less), but at least it's a start, barring appeals and/or any injunctions.

Ashcroft wants to expand the Patriot Act. Pardon the language, but national security my ass. What about citizen's rights? Do we just not matter anymore? I bet anything that Patriot II will be introduced soon now that he's made these comments, and I can only hope that legislators have a more steady head on their bodies to let such a dispicable piece of legislation burn right in its tracks.

Verizon to release the names of file swappers. Their appeal was denied, giving the RIAA another undeserved win. It just baffles me that these judges refuse to see how dangerous the DMCA is. Not just for its chilling effect on free speech, but also all the other unlimited rights and police powers it gives to copyright holders. Why are they not disturbed by this?

Coming soon: Spike Lee TV. Apparently, the director thought they were naming the station after him. Of course the first thing I thought of when I heard about Spike TV was James Marsters. Just think, our favorite vamp on tv 24/7. That Billy Idol look. Those perfectly sculptured abs. That accent.
Bloody hell, it's a shame I was wrong.

Yesterday was great. Today really sucked. I don't know property. This of course isn't news to me, but it was a blow nonetheless. We laughed it off, but by the time I came back home I wanted to cry. Out of the 20 questions we did I think we each averaged about 3 or 4 right, total. It was sad. Then again we all had the terrible property professor, so it's just going to take some time. That and we're going to have to answer tons of questions. I just want to learn this stuff so I can ace the MBE part of the exam and move on.
I think the part of the day that bothered me the most was an email I received from a friend. We're starting our own practice. He already passed the bar and he's just waiting on me. So he emails me after finding out that I'm not taking BAR/BRI unlike the rest of the school, and apparently practically everyone in my class is under the impression that this is a bad idea! He offers me his books, and he just sounded so concerned, and it just bothered me. Just because I don't have twelve hundred books to read every night and outlines to condense does not mean I am not getting an adequate review for the bar. I'm doing a group study with Reed's review course, and I'm quite happy with it. I don't have to fill in the blanks to keep myself awake while watching video tapes. I get a very intense review, and when I don't understand something there are three other people in that room with me who do understand and they help me out. It's more one on one, and I like it. I appreciate his concern as well as his offer, but I'm just tired of all the condescending looks. We're going to pass this exam, and I swear I will run over the next person who gives me the pity look after they tell me they know I'm not taking BAR/BRI. I'll be sure to give that person the same look when I find out they didn't pass the bar and I did.

It's possible to pass the bar having graduated from the first internet law school. Yay for those who did pass.
