American Underdog

La Toya London got voted off American Idol this week. That is so strange. She was supposed to win. America loves to rally for the underdog. If America thinks someone is going to go home, they all vote for her (*cough* Jasmine). Unfortunately, that has an unwanted side effect–a good singer goes home because everyone thought she was safe and didn’t vote for her. Jasmine is a doll, but she can’t sing very well at all. Strange–she might end up winning.

3L

I finished my second year of law school! I will enjoy the next few weeks of ignorant bliss–the time after finals but before my grades come out. (When an A in criminal law is still within the realm of possibility).

This Friday Yang and I are leaving for a vacation to Hong Kong and Beijing. I am very excited, but it is not the type of vacation I need right now. I need to go someplace warm and quiet. I would love to lounge for a week or so. But alas, lounging is not in store for us. We will tromp all over China, seeing the sights, hearing the sounds, smelling the smells, and eating the delicious food. Chinese opera is the antithesis of quiet, but I guess I’ll take Chinese opera!

B Paper is IN

I just turned in my B paper. I am going to leave it in the box this time. (I turned in for the first time last week, but took it out of the box a few hours later because I panicked. But now, I have revised it for the last time).

That leaves Business Associations (probably Monday) and Substantive Criminal Law (Thursday or Friday). The end is near.

You Mean We Don't Have Greater Bargaining Power?

The bank is working us. We are in a bidding war for the house. At least, that is what the bank is telling us. We offered our third offer (or would this be our second counter-offer?). If they don't accept, we have nothing left to give. I would be much more upset about all this if I didn't have to focus on my exams.

LOTR Parody

This parody made me laugh out loud in the library. (Laughter was very much needed at that point). I found it via TORN.

Aragorn and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
