Here we go again. R.I.P. the ever so talented Michael Kamen. I will miss his music. He was just too young.
There are also reports on Dark Horizons and the website for the movie, The Year that Trembled that Jonathan Brandis has died. I want them to be wrong, wrong, wrong!! He's only a year older than me. He can't be dead. Oh hell, I grew up watching him on Seaquest DSV and every other movie and tv show he was on. This is just sad.

Why does this not surprise me. It's just coming out, so I can't link to anything yet, but an arrest warrant has been issued for Michael Jackson. I'm assuming it has to do with allegations related to the supposed molestation of the 12 year old boy and the resulting search.

Jonni, what happened to blar? Email me at nimsay if you want.

There is nothing more blood-curdling or rage inducing, or for the matter, nothing more amusing than sitting back and reading the latest Supreme Court decision or lack there of. This time I take pleasure in Scalia's discontent with yet another affirmative action case even if the article isn't that informative. The Court chose not to look at a case involving a law which gives preference to female and minority contractors and supposedly discriminates against white contractors. They can't help it if they just keep winning the majority of the bids. Well, apparently, they lost this one.

SCOTUS limits disability rights once again. This time it affects people who have obsolete jobs. If they get hurt while on the job, claim disability, and their becomes obsolete, and they can't do anything else then they have to find the same job somewhere else or find another job.
From one point of view it makes sense. If the job no longer exists at said place of business then you have no right to continue asking for disability. Look for a new company with the same job, or look for a new job that requires the same skills. Too many people take advantage of SSI.
At the same time, we are talking about the disAbled. We're specialized, and to tell us to just look for a different job requiring different skills is not easy, and it's infuriating and insulting to be told as such.
It makes my skin crawl to read that Scalia wrote the opinion of the court. I understand the reasoning behind the Court's decision, but it seems like this will only do more harm than good.

I feel more human now. I think Tuesday was the last mope day. That day I was falling asleep by midday and just dragging. It was rather sad. Yesterday was different, and so is today.
I don't know. I just needed a few days to feel self pity perhaps, which sounds absolutely awful, but at least now I can face the day. And first on my list is a new layout for this, now, and I'm testing it with CS. Did I say that? Bad Yazzy.

Cheating on a spouse with a member of the same sex is apparently not adultery according to the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Their reasoning is that they're afraid that it somehow might affect the sanctity of marriage to allow such a thing. This court has no idea of the can of worms they just opened.

Ack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn me, damn me to hell. I just spoiled myself big time on Angel. They were good spoilers too. Juicy ones. I have to stay away from whedonesque now, but I can't be blamed. They mentioned future cast members, and something happens to Spike!
I dare you to stay away, Jonni. hehe

I didn't pass the bar exam.

The insanity continues. We recently graduated law students have now been reduced to sending chain letters via email for the extra luck. "Send me to 20 people in the next hour and I promise that you will not burn in hell for the next thousand years!"
Actually, we're just hoping for one tiny little thing. We want to see our names on that website. It's quite amusing. Even more amusing, trying to pry me away from this laptop.
In more somber news, I'm conflicted. I need to call home, but I don't want to. I wasn't very close to this uncle, but my mother knew him well since he was her sister's husband, and frankly, three deaths in 6 months has been tough for both of us, especially her. I am sad. We knew it was coming, just not when. I'm wondering if anyone else is going to die: one before law school graduation, one before the bar exam, one before the bar exam results, one before the mpre exam maybe?? Please no. Seriously, I'm not bitter, but it's painful, and I don't think I can handle it much longer.
