Daffnee

I am happy to report I did not fail environmental law, and all thanks to a 9th Circuit clerk named Warren.

I am also the new proud owner of $40 worth of picture framing supplies. Does anyone have a hammer I can borrow?

Facts that have emerged in the last 24 hours:

1. Canadians don't put 2 spaces after periods when typing.

2. Thanks to the addition of Fumarama, my links (up top) now exceed 2 lines.

3. My brain shrivels to the size of a walnut between the hours of 3 and 6 PM every day, making it rather difficult to read about federal drug regulation.

4. I am morbidly fascinated by Jessica Cutler.

5. The former chairperson of our Moot Court Board has a weblog that he's mad we found and used to track him down after graduation.

6. Cut flowers stay fresh the longest when immersed in Sprite. Another alternative is lime juice + baking soda + sugar.

7. I have a Japanese doppelganger. Well, kinda.

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh
And I am cold, yes, I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
I love the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey hey

Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?

Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Don't you walk away
No quake will split the ground
Won't you walk away
The sun won't swallow the sky
Won't you walk away?
Statues will not cry

Gmail added a delete button! We should subpoena Google more often.

So Opinionistas just outed herself. Why on earth would a successful anonymous blogger do that? I was just reading to see if and when she would get fired. All that other stuff about law firm life and being a girl was purely secondary.

The thrill of only having 3 courses has already worn off. Here I am again: pooped after kicking a large variety of padded objects instead of writing my memo that's due tomorrow, drinking too much gin and watching Richard Gere make the most of tapered jeans in American Gigolo. I didn't realise that large half-tinted sunglasses weren't just for women in 1980...

Winter fun in photos...

I am a travel disaster area. I rain misery and misfortune on those in my company, and send off some seriously negative karmic vibes while not at my home base.

After a New Years in Seattle that mostly consisted of me getting the party started too early and falling asleep on a couch to the noisy sounds of foosball, we were presented w/ a problem resulting from the following facts:

1. New ID requirements are coming into effect at the end of 2006, such that all American citizens need either a passport or birth certificate to cross the border.

2. Greyhound is under special orders to implement the above policies at the end of 2005, and to not let passengers buy tickets without the appropriate citizenship documentation

3. A driver's license is not a birth certificate or a passport.

We did get back to my house by the ETA of 7 PM, but in a rental car, some trouble remembering how long I had been away from Canada and after much mulling over my karmic disaster-ness.

I had a headache all day. It's the kind that comes from having lived though never-ending travel mishaps that ALWAYS happen but also always manage to resolve themeselves w/ some creativity (see the Paris, London and Ireland experiences). I don't know if I can take 60 more years of this.
