i hope this question isn't on the texas bar exam

I'm watching this week's "South Park" for the second time now, and there's one thing I just can't get past.

Cartman and Kyle had this contract. If they did not see a leprechaun, Cartman owed Kyle $10. If they did see a leprechaun, Kyle had to suck Cartman's balls.

How is this a legally enforceable contract? I mean, aside from the whole "they're minors" thing (and the whole "this is a cartoon" thing)...

(Now I wish I had actually listened in Contracts class.)

(Also, I should stop thinking when I watch TV. It's so much more enjoyable when it's mindless. That's why "CSI: Miami" is so awesome.)

paying attention in class won't help me understand it anyway

For those of you who saw me walking around the law school this morning.... yes, I was barefoot. And no, I don't care. I bought new flats over the weekend because I wanted shoes that were stylish, yet conducive to the mile-and-a-half walk home from school (i.e., not three-inch stilettos). However, said flats are not yet broken in, and by the time I got to my bus stop this morning, both of my feet were bleeding. So even if the floor in the law school is disease-ridden (which I'm sure it is, because crushed hopes and dreams leave a nasty rash), I'd rather risk it than deal with the pain of having a third layer of skin taken off of my heels by my shoes.

Should I be scared that I feel like Secured Transactions is already waaaaaaaaay over my head?

You know what? I'm not going to think about that right now. The new season of "CSI: Miami" starts tonight, which means that I'll watch David Caruso stare at the screen and give a one-liner that sums up the upcoming episode right before the scream in "Won't Get Fooled Again" starts the opening credits while wearing those really AWESOME shades. That'll be good for a few laughs.

we never close (dramatically puts on sunglasses)

If you've been alive and had the television on at any time in the last two months (or been on any sort of entertainment website at all), you'll know that tonight at 10 (9 central) is the premiere of Aaron Sorkin's new drama, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip"...which is in desperate need of a shorter title, but I digress.

But that's not why I'm excited to get home and watch some good ol' TV tonight.

I'm excited because tonight (again, at 10/9 central) is the season premiere of my favorite comedy installment of the "CSI:" franchise, "CSI: Miami". It's awful, David Caruso can't act, and his sunglasses are the greatest prop on television since the addition of Nicky and Alex on "Full House".

When last season ended, Caruso had just put his shades on and told us that we're going to Brazil to track down the gang that shot his godawful wife (who, let's face it, needed to be killed off) that was I *believe* both pregnant and dying of cancer. Or recovering from cancer. Or her once-in-remission cancer had come back. I'm really not sure which plot device the "Miami" writers chose that time. But it'll be a welcome hour of comedy after that "Elaine Old Christine" show goes off.

And somewhere between "Miami" and Wednesday's premiere of the new cycle of "America's Next Top Model", I *may* go to class.

is it may 10th yet?

I plan on spending today studying until "CSI: Miami" comes on at 9.

And by "studying", I mean "watching 'General Hospital', 'The Tyra Banks Show', 'Gilmore Girls'/'X-Files', '30 Minute Meals' hour, the first hour of the Sox/Yankees game, half hour of the Cubs/Bucs game, 'How I Met Your Mother', 'Two and a Half Men', and 'The New Adventures of Old Christine'".

That should pretty much keep me occupied until 9.

a very merry un-(half-)birthday

I realized last night that today marks the beginning of my last six months of being "under 25". I know - it's scary.

In honor of my half-birthday, I'd like to put up an early draft of this year's birthday list...mostly so that the people who know me (*cough*Mom*cough*) can start saving money to buy me things.

1. Tickets to the November 19th Packers-Patriots game - because I want to be the ONLY person in Lambeau not rooting for GB.
2. TiVo
3. Someone to come clean my apartment weekly (which may be difficult to find, since we're apparently rounding up illegal immigrants and kicking them out of the country)
4. "CSI: Miami" Seasons 1-4
5. Starbucks gift cards. Lots of them.

At this time, Counsel would also like to move for leave to amend freely over the next six months. All amendments will have taken place at least a week before my birthday.
