I'm a sci-fi geek. That's not news, really. So while taking a much needed break, I was positively heartbroken to find out that James Doohan had passed. Earth just won't be the same without him, but thank you for the lovely memories.

There are a list of things I have left to do before that "little" quiz, and since the pressure on my chest has come back this week, methinks this might be the best way to deal with it.
First, no more reading bar blogs. Not that I don't love reading about y'alls trials and tribulations, but talk about loading on the anxiety.
Second, full on focus on the essays. I should also try to do Civil/Criminal procedure questions everyday this week.
Last, finish the blue PMBR book this week. If I can do that this week, or by Monday next, then I have a fighting chance.
I admit I've focused mostly on MBE, so this week will be an absolute crash course in everything else. I think that's why I'm freaked, and that's why I need to keep telling myself to chill. I've seen this before, so I will be ok. Besides, my reward for all my hard work will be Harry Potter. Now, if only people would stop spoiling it for me...

So, these last two days have been spent looking over my answers for the practice MBE in the blue PMBR book. Let me tell you, I must have looked like a mad woman when I realized I had accidently marked a right answer wrong, which coincidently made me go YAY in the middle of the study section of Barnes & Noble.
Anyway, I was feeling guilty today because I haven't done any practice questions, and I was banned from the living room thanks to the roomie's new voice student (dear god was he tone deaf... excruciating...), so I couldn't work there. I opened up StudySmart, and I am now convinced that BarBri questions are evil. Everything I've learned via PMBR feels useless. This is not something I need to learn a week and a half before the exam, people. Granted, the intermediate questions could just be their way way of trying to start being tricky, and hey, this is their way of scaring me shitless, but ya know, it ain't happening.
Screw BarBri. Except essays, which I should probably start looking at....

There are no rss stat counters, and if I want to know my stats I would have to join a site like feedburner. Um, no thank you.
Fortunately, my host has AWStats, which after much scrutinizing and disecting I've determined that my counter is worthless. Last month I had over 1100 hits to the .xml file and close to 700 for the .rdf file, so um, yeah, you crazy people like to read my ramblings.
I'm so sorry. 😉

I have a question. Is MT 3.2 going to be free? Not that I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable price for the upgrade they seem to be hinting at, except I will be at a crossroads. A dilema. MT 3.2 or NIN tickets that go on sale next Saturday, which by the way both my siblings have seen in concert, and I have not. Hmm...Trent and Queens of the Stone Age versus MT. Gee...
Oh, and Texas sucks. We are the state obsessed with beauty pageants. A beauty pageant will pre-empt an important showing of Battlestar Galactica on NBC! As if I wanted to see near anorexic women feigning to want world peace on a Saturday night. Give me starship battles, and sex, and, and, ohhh what about that cliffhanger!
Another beauty pageant! I started watching the Miss Texas Pageant two weeks ago, and some cities have their brains screwed on wrong when it comes to their ideal beauty. I think a gal with poofy blond hair won, but then again I really wasn't paying attention. I stopped caring when all the lovely hispanic ladies were shut out.
And did I mention it was my mother's birthday yesterday. Feliz Cumplea�os, mami. Today it's my parents wedding anniversary. 29 years. I hope they throw a huge party for their 30th.

I am going to pass the frickin' BAR EXAM!! You know why? Well, besides the fact that I'm a 4th timer, and I'm still only averaging 55% on questions, I feel good. 55 is not bad when the questions consistently get harder, and seriously, PMBR enjoys making me look bad. I can now rest assured that I'll probably ace Torts. Everything else is in the toilet, but it's ok. I've done 50 questions every single day, which has been a pain in my ass, but I've done it. I just wish I could stop making stupid mistakes. Grr.
The highlight of my week has been watching The Inside and twice wondering out loud what kind of legal issues the show brought up. I need a life.

Just read the news, and it's breaking, and it officially sucks today. Goodbye swing vote.
I'm going to go see War of the Worlds today.

Ya know, on the occasions people do click on the ads it helps, but right now I'm trying to figure out where the hell the chango came from!

50 questions a day. I have a handle on this. I do. No matter how cranky, or tired I get. And ya know now that I'm writing this I've come up with the perfect excuse for my pitiful mood. It's called D Day. It's ugly.
But anyway, I bombed the PMBR property questions today, and for very stupid reasons. I can't afford stupid reasons. I scored higher in Torts because I was taking chances and actually paying attention. Apparently my brain decided to throw a curve ball today and confuse riparian rights with the other right, and ugh!!!!! I have 14 questions left and 35 criminal law questions for tomorrow give or take. Tomorrow will be better.
Please, someone. Tell me I'm not a dumbass.

There's nothing to link to directly, but MSNBC.com is reporting that the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the RIAA/MPAA. So much for technology.
