did you know that if you are the decedent victim of a tort, and you die mere seconds or minutes after the tort occurs, your estate can be handsomely rewarded for the brief interval of time during which you were terrified and knew of your impending death? a jury in NY awarded the estate of a child who had drowned $6 million, after an expert testified that the child struggled and was conscious of

last night was a lot like my high school prom. in the sense that it was all overwrought preparation for a remarkably small payoff. dinner was meh. i had the lobster tail and crabcake combo...the lobster tail was kinda rubbery, like it had been frozen or something. w got the veal, and he was so excited, but it kinda sucked. i mean, it didn't taste bad, but we both decided that the mushroom

i'm sitting here at school listening to french indie pop and munching on white chocolate espresso beans, trying to cite check a chunk of a textbook for a prof. tonight is the dreaded law school prom. i am wearing what i consider a very "risky" dress (it is both risque and risky). i would feel more confortable wearing this dress if i weighed 20 pounds less and had one of those fancy $50 super

i ordered this really cool shirt from here and they apparently meant CHILD'S extra large, or extra large in some parallel universe. dammit. so the words are stretched comically over my boobs and i'm wearing it anyway. cause it took like two weeks to get here and i'm not returning it to canadia. i'll just have to lose some weight.edited to add: oh wait. i get it.

this is fucking incredible. w, who is notoriously hard to please, called it "fantastic." this is the first unqualified compliment that i have ever gotten from him about a meal. he was like "dude, you bought a new piece of equipment to make this meal! it was epic!" awwwww. what a sweetie. usually, he's all "it's good. what?!? what do you want me to say?!? it's good, not phenomenal!"

bella's first birthday is tomorrow--what should i get her?and a little more about emma, for the uninitiated. she has the funniest bark i've ever heard, not even really a bark, more like an indignant "roooooooo." and this morning, she chewed up my thermal coffee mug--from ROOOOOOOOOOOOOO de la course in nola. her favorite lettuce is aROOOOOOOOOOgula. and her dream vacation, of course, is to

there is a flower pot in the yard next door. emma is most distrustful of the flower pot. she was doing her thing in the yard, and as soon as she noticed it, she started barking like a maniac. she won't turn her back on it. she walks up and sniffs towards it, then backs away all low to the ground like it could come at her with a furious attack at any moment. if i wasn't such a punk, i would

argh. the beginning of the semester is always so exciting and bustling and fucking annoying. i still don't have my schedule totally nailed down yet. there is one class that i reeeeeeeeeeeeally want to add (and have actually attended for the last two days). i talked to the prof, and he is willing to work with me, but i don't want it to look like i'm gaming the system too much. and there's

I had the good fortune to have a certain professor for Criminal Law my first semester of law school. He told us to memorize the common law elements of the crimes, but showed us that black letter law is only the beginning.

i got the job after a second, apprentice-style callback with two other people. one of my favorite professors was there and was really sick and we had to take care of him. taking care of him involved stripping him naked and carrying him to the bathroom using a sheet as a makeshift gurney. and i found a cat and a dog that i had to adopt. the cat was black with a regular pattern that seemed to

today was roe v. wade and planned parenthood v. casey DAY TWO in my constitutional law class. excruciating. there is a great comedy bit, i can't remember who it is (but a woman, obvs), where she says something about going into her gyno for a routine exam, and being so pissed off about all the demonstrators out front that she got an abortion to spite them, even though she wasn't pregnant.

those who know me know that i have abominable luck with cars. part of it is my own fault, but part of it seems to be some karmic hex. a friend once suggested that i was a crooked mechanic in a past life and was working all that negative karma out this go round. i am beginning to agree.my car was sounding loud, so i brought it in to meineke to get a new muffler. in addition to the loudness,

we had a discussion the other day at lunch about type a personalitites and law school, and how most law students seem to be type a. i feel pretty far from that, as i am competitive about some things (notably, competitions) but generally pretty laid back. i mean, when i am competing in some kind of competition, i get competitive. but that's only natural, right? perhaps it's just a product of

I've been raked over the coals this week. yesterday i got a rejection letter from a smaller law firm in my hometown. so that leaves the DC firm and two in houston. new york already dinged me as well. i also got very close to the lowest grade in the class on my accounting for lawyers midterm, further proving that i have no business doing math (or business, for that matter) of any kind. i met

i participated in an online chat for admissions last night. did this few times last semester and it was kinda fun, so i thought i'd do it again. though i gotta say, some of those kids are going to give themselves a heart attack. i mean, maybe i am just a slacker (see below), but i was just taking the LSAT this time two years ago. maybe, because my gpa was less than stellar, i was just being

i managed to advance to the next round of the moot court appellate advocacy competition. i have decided to proceed without the cool, detached demeanor of the cautious optimist. no no, not me. i am flinging myself with wild abandon into this whole exercise, and not just so i'll have something good to talk about in my next callback. i am just genuinely nerdy enough to really want to knock this

went to an interesting talk about the impending judicial appointments. two law profs and two undergrad profs. the law profs were, of course, great. the undergrad ones, well, something less than engaging. a mindless dump of your data interspersed with how you conducted your study?

My pirate name is: Iron Bess Rackham A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr! Get your own pirate name from fidius.org.
