i’m not sure where the idea of spring cleaning came from, but it seems like a good idea. maybe because it’s too cold outside to take out the trash, but i’ve accumulated a bunch of crap in my apartment during the winter (it might also be because I live on the top floor of a four story walkup and am lazy). earlier this week i also felt like one more thing needed cleaning.
my bowels.
for the past few weeks i’ve felt constantly full. not like the top of the stomach full you get from eating at a buffet. but more like the lower stomach full from eating lots of processed food. having read and indexed my emails which allude to my various nyc, philly and chinatown escapades, mama google knew that i was much in need of a cleanup and suggested the link http://www.blessedherbs.com. yes, i get the idea.
i clicked on the link because i couldn’t resist the tagline, “over 100,000 cleansed since 1985.” over 100,000, it must be righteous.
having reviewed the site in its entirety, here are my findings.
pros: over 100,000 served. teaches us that even pretty girls poo. 21 day free trial. uses “results” as a nice euphamism for turd. encourages the use of chopsticks.
cons: the webpage looks like a 12 year old designed it using tripod. all the “results” look like people have been eating plastic barbies for decades. pretty girls “pass” some nasty objects.
i was inspired, but not that inspired.
i decided to go au naturale and headed over to terminal market to buy some fruit.

one of manchester united’s chants for ronaldo:
(to the tune of ‘That’s Amore’)
when the ball hits the goal
it’s not giggs,
it’s not scholes,
It’s ronaldo!
united’s chant for ji-sung park:
park, park, wherever you may be,
you eat dogs in your home country!
it could be worse, you could be a scouse,
eating rats in your council house!

everyone in law school has a depressing/suicidal/give up on life gchat status.
a sampling:
“PR booo”
“is learning to be accepting of that fatigued, exhausted feeling”
“The owl of minerva just crapped on me and I’m tangled in the seamless web of the law stranded in an archipelago of evolving jurisprudence”
“patent bar studying… all day every day till the 21st”
“i want to die”
that is why i stay invisible.

the random emails and haiku have been a source of encouragement, thanks. the lakers losing was a boost. united beating arsenal 4-1 on agreggate was an even bigger boost. the sox are undefeated this season against the yanks…ultimate boost
(bruins in the playoffs…ehh, that’s nice…celts losing to magic…sucks…)
downer = email from chairman of firm confirming that 60% of the class of 2009 is deferred until 2010. fails to reassure the class of 2010 that they will be ok.
status of two takehomes: 40% and 60% completed.
time left: 42 hours
probability of not finishing: 75%
how concerned am i: 10% and falling…

day…im not sure…of finals week(s). i am surviving on wawa, caffeine to stay awake (i have a starbucks iv drip), and ambien to counter-act the caffeine so i can go to sleep at night (it takes 20 minutes to kick in so i read until i start to see double). all so i can wake up exactly seven hours later to do it all over again…
a med school student once told me that the human body is very resilient. i took this to mean that i can do the caffeine and ambien routine for at least a month. i figure i have until november of 2009 to recover.
long-term effects of caffeine-ambien cocktail: unknown
short-term effects: some minor hair loss
current knowledge level: 10 (out of a possible 100)
is it worth it?

im closing in on my mammoth paper due tomorrow at noon (who sets a deadline for noon?). i’ve decided that it’s a really bad idea to write a paper by making assertions and then trying to google book authors that support your premise. it is a decidedly crap way to write a paper
having said that, i can’t believe how many authors subscribe to/believe in/have done research on the random, stupid statements that i’m making. this leads me to three conclusions; i am very much an out of the box thinker, publishers will find anything to print, or anyone can self publish through lulu.com, submit it to google and say that they are “published.”

in writing my paper, i have found that book antiqua is now my favorite font. not only is it wider than times new roman, but prettier.
blogs posts aren’t supposed to be this short, i know. maybe i should twitter instead.

i know all five of my readers are scratching their heads wondering why i haven’t posted anything in such a long time. the reason is because i am cramming for exams.
today i went to an exam review and was scared out of my mind. halfway through the review i was asking myself if i actually took this class.
in light of the time crunch, i was going to start posting pages of a paper i’m writing for my american trials seminar. but as much as i would like to increase traffic to my blog, i didn’t want to incur the wrath of christian fundamentalists railing against my scopes, epperson and edwards analysis.
but avid readers do not fear, i have many a blog idea percolating my little mind - from toilet splashback to aig - and everything in between. i’ve also got some good transcripts from 5 am caffeine induced gchat sessions to draw from. i know, tantalizing stuff.
hang in there and stay tuned. (the hang in there part is intended for me, sorry)
