I am sick of spam. All I get is spam. I open my nimsay account and voila, 15 pieces of spam come flying out. That's all. No one else loves me. Only the spammers, which is rather sad because I love them not. I'd rather boil their asses in acid. I've been using Mailwasher, but lately I don't think that's been helping much. I have spamassassin installed but I have no clue how to use it. ::le sigh::
I'm alive by the way. Results aren't in yet. My nerves are shot. Rumor has it they'll be released today.

You know you're a masochist when:
You find yourself eerily drawn to the Texas Board of Law Examiners website and gasp in relief and slight despair when your realize that results aren't up early. Then you decide to look at the re-application form just to see what it asks for and hiss in disgust when you notice you have to go through the whole process of proving you're disABLED just to get accomidations. So needless to say you didn't read through the entire re-application form and decided that maybe that extra passport photo that you couldn't find that last time you needed it for the MPRE is better suited this time on the MPRE.

No early results yet. This is good and bad.
Stay tuned. On thursday I'll be a red-headed temptress to step into my greek goddesss role for Halloween. I was going to be Medusa but I found out too late that my costume came sans the head of snakes. Oh well. It would have looked tacky anyway.

A 14 year old student is expelled from school for writing a fictional account of a student who falls asleep and dreams about killing a teacher. The story was clearly fictional, and yet the student was expelled. Obviously, free speech is no longer recognized in the public school system.

Fair warning. I may sound hysterical in my blog entries for the next two and a half weeks. Why? Bar results come out on the 6th, and I'd be lying if I said I was calm.
I wish there were an easier way to deal with it all.

Ouch! When I was there they threatened to eject us from the game, but that never happened, even when the students started throwing a dead octopus and fish. It was unbelievably gross and had absolutely nothing to do with the fun of throwing marshmellows at each other. Neither does planting rocks or coins in the spongy things, unless you're throwing it at the USC band. 😉
In all seriousness, I never throught the administration would get serious about the situation, but seeing how ugly its gotten, I don't blame them. At the same time, don't kill the marshmellow tradition. Especially when USC and their stupid band is involved. After hearing their fight song played over and over and over again, you really can't blame us Domers, ahem former now Alumni. My row, we hit a few of them too when they lined up after their performance at halftime in '99. It was sweet, and we beat them too.
Let's not mention Saturday.

This lawsuit should make sellers think twice before selling their products and claiming them to be %100 when they actually aren't.
I'm actually cringing. Could someone please take the woman and the lawyer and shoot them for me. No, just the lawyer for being a money hungry bastard, though I'm sure the woman is suffering extreme irreperrable mental harm due to the damage caused to her taste buds because of the lack of fruit in the jam.
Seriously, reading this reminded me of a discussion I had with a friend of mine. Lawsuits like these, they make us look bad. What harm did she suffer? Did the jam make her ill? Send her to the hospital? No. If she was so displeased she could have taken the jar back and asked for a refund.
Now there's going to be this DTPA action because she has sensitive taste buds, and the point is, to sue over something silly like this only goes to show that there are some really lousy lawyers out there who do not deserve to have a license. Not when they're bringing frivolous actions like this one. Not when there are lawsuits out there making a mockery of the very same judicial system.

The server move seems to have gone smoothly. The only mildy painful thing was reinstalling all the scripts, cgi and php, the hardest being the dreaded mailing list. Never has any script given me as much grief as that one, and this time the culprit was the permissions. I can safetly blame my server for that one, and fortuneately I figured it out, but I was so close to pulling my hair out, strand by strand.
The one thing left for me to upload is my personal site, which is painfully missing. The thing is I can't bring myself to do it. I hate the layout. I hate the site. There are tons of writings that I need to add, and the site itself has my email all over it without the spam protection and of course my spam intake is increasing at an alarming rate. Yes, I'm having a personal website identity crisis. It was bound to happen.
And I am so amused.

An appeals court in Washington is being asked to throw out a ruling that would force one lesbian to split her assets with her lover. Homosexual marriage isn't recognized in the states, but some states are beginning to recognize some rights regarding homosexual relationships, so it will be interesting to see how the court will rule in this regard.
