...as many of you have so astutely pointed out, the figures below assume i get my oranges for free. thanks guys.

at $5.00 a bag, I would have to sell 8,600 bags of oranges by the freeway in order to afford my first year of law school should i flunk out this year.

any pre-orders?

*a dream deferred*

I can’t find the words to describe our friendship, but I think it is the color of a bright purple sky, who-knows-how-many- sunsets over the ocean
I think it would sound like hundreds of late night conversations, the distant roars of cars on a freeway just close enough to see in the distance, to remind you of civilization, but far enough for you to hear the invisible croaking of frogs in the grass,
I think it would taste like constant comment tea laced with an acid-infused sugar cube,
It would feel like eight years of laughter, warm summer nights, cold winter ones, the best and worst trip you ever had.

So, even though we won’t talk for awhile, I’m sure this isn’t the end of our friendship. Find it in yourself to get the hell over this, and call me when you do.

Bad for me, good for Mat?
From The National Jurist:

A British Epidemiology researcher says law students are 30 percent more likely to die young than most other graduate students.

The study, reported in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, followed 9,887 men who had health checkups while studying at Glasgow University between 1948 and 1968. The researchers concluded that people who had studied law had a 30 percent higher risk of death in the 40 years following graduation than students in other faculties.

Medical students were found to live longer than most other graduate students, despite the fact that they smoked more while in school than most other students—only law students smoked more. However, people who became doctors were twice as likely as other students to die from alcohol-related causes.

Only arts students had a higher risk of death than law students, and were especially likely to die from lung cancer. However, medical students were found to most likely die from accident, suicide or other violent means.

Not surprisingly, divinity students had the lowest blood pressure and were least likely to consume alcohol, but their risk of death was still 10 percent higher than medical students.

Who Will Die First?
1. Arts Students
2. Law Students
3. Divinity Students
4. Medical Students
5. Engineering Students

My horoscope for today:

Enthusiasm for your career could have you putting in a lot of extra effort - and perhaps a lot of extra hours - getting something going for yourself, Karen. Your mind is working especially quickly - perhaps too quickly, as you may be experiencing a mental overload. Stop a moment, catch your breath, and write down the most workable of your ideas. Trying to do too much at once, or spread yourself too thin, could be counterproductive.

It's 6 am and my brain is full.

I work from 8-10 am though, so it is useless to try to sleep. Being too disoriented to study any longer, I can only sit and worry for the next two hours about how exactly I am going to repay $40,000 in loans should I fail out of law school this week.

Stress-induced delerium? Maybe. Whatever it is, I can't believe I'm studying my ass off, harder than I have ever studied before, to HOPE to get a C. Whatever illusions of intelligence i once had have been utterly crushed by two words: bell curve.

I believe I can name the people in my class who are getting A's...and I can point out the ones who are getting B's...and none of them is me, so all logic leads inexorably to my status as mediocre.

In a state of hopelessness, I went on emode to take an IQ test, and found that according to them, my IQ has dropped by 26 points. How encouraging.

From the book The Lexus and the Olive Tree:

Pepsi's "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" was translated into Chinese as "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave."

Frank Perdue's chicken slogan "It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken" was translated into Spanish as "It takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate."

The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Ke-kou-ke-la," meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax," depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent, "ko-kou-ko-le," translating into "happiness in the mouth."

When the Parker Pen people marketed a ballpoint pen in Mexico, the ads were supposed to have read, "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you." Instead mistranslation resulted in the ad reading, "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant."

Just in time for Thanksgiving Day.....

SEDGEFIELD, England, Nov 21 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush said on Friday Turkey was now a battleground in the war on global terrorism and offered U.S. help following a wave of suicide bombings in Istanbul.

"Terrorists have decided to use Turkey as a front," Bush told reporters as he toured a sports school during a trip to British Prime Minister Tony Blair's home district, his last stop on a state visit to England.

Next week's headline: Bush gets speech mixed up with Whitehouse dinner menu

My dreams mock me...

No, this dream isn't about the future, but it's just as weird.

I dreamt i was reciting the precise definition of profit-a-prendre. It's some legal term.

I had no recollection of ever learning this term, but i suppose at one point i must have read it, since when i woke up i was curious and looked up "profit-a-prendre" and found that the definition was precisely what i had recited in my dream!

I found this out right when i woke up. As i went on with my day i found that i could no longer remember even how to spell profit-a-prendre....this leads me to believe that subconsciously, i know much more than i do when i am awake. this is kind of disturbing.

why can't i remember these things when i need to? is it the stress? is the large cold sore on my chin sapping me of my legal knowledge? why IS there a cold sore on my chin? will it spread? is it contagious? eek!

i am degenerating into a festering sore, devoid of all knowledge of legal terminology.

Proof that men=evil

1. men require time and money
men=money*time

2. and, as we all know, "time is money"
time=money

3. so,
men=money*money

4. We know that money is the root of all evil
money=Vevil

5. therefore,
money^2=evil

6. We have already established that
men=money^2

7. therefore,
men=evil

I especially love that the prosecutor's name is Popov....

Man Dies After Winning Vodka-Drinking Contest

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A vodka-drinking competition in a southern Russian town ended in tragedy with the winner dead and several runners-up in intensive care.

"The competition lasted 30, perhaps 40 minutes and the winner downed three half-liter bottles. He was taken home by taxi but died within 20 minutes," said Roman Popov, a prosecutor pursuing the case in the town of Volgodonsk.

"Five contestants ended up in intensive care. Those not in hospital turned up the next day, ostensibly for another drink."

Popov said the director of the shop organizing this month's contest had been charged with manslaughter. He had offered 10 liters of vodka to the competitor drinking the most in the shortest time.

Russians drink the equivalent of 15 liters of pure alcohol per head annually, one of the highest rates in the world. Some experts estimate one in seven Russians is an alcoholic.

Some of the demands Bush's security detail made for his recent visit to England:

In the name of Bush's safety, the Secret Service requested that the London Underground, the provider of transportation to millions daily, be closed down. American snipers and special agents traveling with Bush were to be given diplomatic immunity in the event that they should kill any of the expected 100,000 protesters. An artillery weapon called the "mini gun," normally used in battlefield conditions, was to be flown in in case it was deemed necessary to mow down protesters en masse. Vast sections of the city were to be closed to all traffic, forcing the closure of untold hundreds of businesses. Americans were to be placed in charge of all security operations, ahead of the British Scotland Yard, the MI5, the Metropolitan police, and Blair's own security detail. And U.S. fighter jets and Blackhawk attack helicopters, armed with surface-to-ground missiles and high-powered machine guns, were to secure the skies over London. All of this in addition to flying in not only Bush's own presidential limousine, but in fact his own motorcade. No foreign cars for our President – only a custom-imported procession of Humvees would do.

What health insurance?

I am one of 43.6 million Americans who do not have health insurance. I cannot possibly afford it, given my paltry student loans, and my previous employer's COBRA would cost me $350 a month (my CAR PAYMENT is $344 a month).

18,000 Americans will die prematurely this year due to lack of healthcare.

The United States is the only industrialized country without some form of universal healthcare for its citizens.

Most of the 43 million are working adults. 12 million of them have children.

Congress just passed an $87 BILLION package for the continued occupation of Iran and Afghanistan. That's enough to pay every single uninsured American $2023.25.

Sometimes I wish I lived in France.

Let's hope this one doesn't come true....

Last night, I dreamt that I was cheating on Tim with my hairdresser, who was a forty-something year old man with a mullet who worked in a salon adjacent to a 99-cent store.

Summer Dreams

It's not even winter, and I'm already dreaming of summer...

This summer looks very prominsing indeed. I will be studying abroad, but where oh where should I go? Here are my options:

1. Summer At Sea with Pitt Law: A 2-month cruise on a ship-turned-classroom. Ports of call: Vancouver, Canada ·Sitka, US (Alaska) ·Vladivoskok, Russia · Pusan, Korea ·Shanghai, P.R.C. ·Haiphong (Hanoi), Vietnam ·Keelung, Taiwan · Osaka, Japan · Seattle, US. Price: $6,000.00, includes cruise, classes, 6 units of law school credit, and food. Considering that my school charges $1000 a unit, this program costs exactly the same as if I were to sit on my ass in San Diego and take boring summer school. Factoring in transportation and spending money, this trip will probably cost $10,000.

2. Santa Clara Law Study Abroad in Hong Kong: Another 2 month program. This one offers one month of law study in Hong Kong and a one month internship in an HK or Singapore firm. 7 units of credit. Will cost around $10,000 also. The advantage of this program is that I'll be able to spend more time in one place, and get practical work experience. Also, if I go to HK, I plan on taking time before or after to tour Asia, so I'll still end up seeing different cities.

3. If all else fails, I can always go with my school to Florence and Dublin. 2 months, 9-12 units, counts toward my GPA, but costs $16,000.

Drunkenness and Debauchery

It's the day before Halloween, yet I have already run around fucked up out of my mind, in a naughty schoolgirl outfit, twice. I do not plan to dress up tomorrow, lest someone remember me by my uncharacteristically outrageous behavior last weekend. It's all a little hazy, but I think that this weekend, I:

1. Bit the large fake boob of a large guy dressed in drag (also as a naughty schoolgirl)
2. Kissed someone....this someone being female...this kiss having been caught, twice, on camera
3. Slapped the naked butt of a man dressed only in a skimpy loincloth and thong (also caught on camera)
4. Ran around the SD sports arena with my shirt completely unbuttoned
5. Was dropped by drunken Tim from a height of almost six feet, then body-slammed as he toppled onto me

In conclusion, I think I have pre-partied enough for Halloween, and predict an evening of demureness and witty, non-drunken conversation tomorrow.

Oh, who am I kidding. Look out for the drunken schoolgirl.

Thou shalt not annoy the hell out of thy neighbor

Sometimes when I type in the address to my blog wrong (when I input “blogpsot” instead of “blogspot”), I am taken to “Aaron’s Bible,” a mega-site of fundamentalist Christian material. It’s invasive and rude, and very unwelcome. Does this happen to anyone else? How low of them…the site even has pop-ups telling me to change my homepage to theirs!

Well, their underhanded tactics have worked to some degree…I was reading through the site today. You know what really irks me? When people lament that the world is descending into a moral abyss, and that our sexual morals are getting worse and worse as time goes by.

News flash, you tunnel-vision nincompoops: humans have been a depraved, sexually deviant, promiscuous lot from the beginning. Just read Petronius’s The Satyricon (written during Roman times...the time of Christ) or any of the works of the Marquis de Sade (17th & 18th century pervert). Socrates was gay. The Bible itself is full of stories of lust and adultery.

IMHO, one cannot blame the bad things that happen in life on something as ambiguous as “declining morality.” I think, rather, we as a society have an increasing sense of prudishness.

Aaron’s Bible says that declining sexual morals proves that a Biblical prophecy has been fulfilled—more proof that the world will indeed end very soon and we should all mark Aaron’s Bible as our homepage.

I should learn how to type more accurately.
