Thoughts Arrive Like Butterflies

Procrastinating yet again, drinking some good java out of a cup -- nay, a goblet -- that would make the Mad Hatter jealous. Washing laundry for the first time in two weeks. Paying my bills and helping cook dinner. Basically doing everything except figuring out what exactly a Carbolic Smoke Ball is.

An idea for the Posse (Milton included)... let's see who among us can induce the most no's from our professors tomorrow. A contest of feigned -- but more often, actual -- ignorance. If you get more than 20, I will pay you $50 (a unilateral contrat that I will unquestionably revoke as you near 18). See, I can talk about acedemic things in my blog, as well.

But I should probably crack the books now, or "hump" them as a good friend's mother is fond of saying. At least, I think she was talking about books. A good evening to all, and for those about to rock -- including my girlfriend -- I salute you.

Citations are a bitch

That's all I have to say about that.

Propelling forward together through cooperation and the mutual utilization of our assets...

Millar and Cabrera have a handshake, too. I am speechless.

Just for kicks, here's a link: Teeny Tiny Girl Squad!!!

Gabe Kapler, the Hispanic Jew

Another quick observation. On the Boston Red Sox, there is a group of guys who have very elaborate handshake/high-five routines that they go through every time a guy hits a homer or scores a run, or during a post-game celebration. The group includes Orlando Cabrera, David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, and... Gabe Kapler? Watch for this. Kapler is all about the handshakes and it brings me amusement to no end. I love this guy!

That is all.

Bah ba bada, bah bah bah dada dada bah bah bum bah! Tequila!

How I Spent My Sunday Recovering From My Saturday

I don't think we need further explanation here. Note to self: Drinking on an empty stomach is bad. Really, really bad. But now I'm back and only a day behind on work. Also, my good friend Lauren came from home this weekend so I could help her study for the GREs, and what actually happened is that she mothered me all day. So, love to Lauren. Sorry I wasted your Sunday, too.

But it's time for another wonderful day of law school. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and the Sox just annihilated the Yankees for two straight games. Rock on.

Grady Francona

Oh, and since this is my own personal blog I can't go without noting that Tito Francona has apparently been possessed by the late Grady Little. You put Pedro back in for the 8th, ok fine. He gives up a game-tying homer to the first guy he faces. He's thrown 110 pitches.

GET HIM OUT.

Did Francona watch last year's ALCS? Jeez. That one goes squarely in your lap, Tito. The real test will be in the post-season. Make the same mistake again, then we have a real issue. I write this because you, Terry Francona, field manager of the Boston Red Sox, are obviously reading my blog.

Kobe Bryant's Thing (Not for virgin eyes)

Turns out that the funniest thing ever is Kobe Bryant's uncensored interview with the police in Vail, Colorado. I literally wasted half an hour reading some 40 pages of transcript, and it's all comedy gold. Some highlights:

Detective says they've collected some "physical evidence" of intercourse
Bryant: I stopped. No semen, no nothing
Detective: Did you finish?
Bryant: No.
Detective: Well, there's always pre-ejaculation, are you aware of that?
Bryant: Are you kidding me?
Detective: I'm not kidding you, it's... they teach you that in 7th grade sex ed.

Detective: I guess to be honest with you, I'm not sure if we're getting all the facts presented to us as far as what exactly happened. See this is the way I look at it, you know, she's an attractive young lady, okay...
Bryant: She wasn't that attractive.

Detective: When did she make the comment that she wanted to sleep with you?
Bryant: When we were having sex.

There's also a nice passage about "Kobe's Thing," which isn't what you think it's referring to... it's a little more graphic.

That's it for now. Enjoy.

Ed.'s note - fixed the link to "Kobe's Thing" so now you actually will see what I'm talking about... start at the arrow and work your way down.

Don't forget to leave your footprints

Feel free to leave a note or otherwise. Explore the studio space with your comments. Really. Explore the space. (That sounds like a good title...)

Oyez oyez oyez!

God Save the Queen and this Honourable Blog!

Greetings and welcome to the creation of my first blog. I have no idea what I'm going to post on this thing, but I imagine that it will evolve just as most things do. I'm sure I'll keep it updated because it's yet another wonderful way to procrastinate.
