trying to keep my mind off of things, doing more homework than is humanly possible - now, let's see if how bad I can make myself feel about my lack of reading things that actually matter!

Librarythings 106 most "unread" books. Here's the rules: Bold what you've read, italicize what you started but couldn't finish, cross out what you couldn't stand, underline what you want to read but haven't yet.

. . . pretty pathetic. Even more pathetic is the fact that I haven't even heard of a lot of these. I do have some of them on my bookshelf though that I have ever intention of (someday) reading, if that counts for anything. :-/

reprise the theme song and roll the credits

Yeah, yeah, I know, three posts in one day, but my discovery of this today just made me understand why people love youtube so much. Man I miss elementary/middle school.


part one


part two


part three

sometimes i forget just how perfect this song is

well i wrote your name and burned it,
see the color of the flame,
and it burned out the whole spectrum as if you were everything,
im just burned gold,
a normal flame,
i am not anything,
and all that i remember is the feeling of waking up,
when we were kids you were the sun to which my eyes would not adjust,
when we were kids i was a fountain you could never drink enough,
then came all the boys who swept you up,
played careless with your heart,
and every night there was a new girl sitting beside me in my car,
something dies when you grow older,
but you do the best you can,
i am glad,
i am glad,
you found a good man.

how to keep a law student (or two or three) entertained for two hours

12/1/07 - Brand New @ House of Blues in Atlantic City
12/4/07 - Brand New @ Hammerstein Ballroom

i love lane, but seriously?

can we review the last four Law & Lit books/stories I've had to read?

• The Law of Life by Jack London - old man left in the snow to die and abandoned by his tribe. He gets eaten by wolves at the end.
• So Much Water So Close to Home by Raymond Carver - group of men on a fishing trip discover the body of a dead girl and leave it there while they continue their fishing trip as planned
• A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines - man is wrongfully charged with murder and given the death penalty
• A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor - family traveling to Florida for vacation gets into a care accident and are caught by an escaped convict, who shoots and kills all of them

Granted, they've all been very interesting . . . but I'm beginning to wonder . . .

how sad is it that k. fed getting custody is GOOD news?

It's official. - Britney Spears is pathetic. The court order is going on my fridge.
