get a room

So about a week ago, the Dean of Laying The Smack Down sent an e-mail to the entire law student populace about appropriate library behavior. You know, no eating (because it might get in the books, and then rats will eat the valuable Northwest Reporters that are available online anyway), no uncovered cups, no talking, no accidentally plugging your headphones into the wrong spot on your laptop and playing an episode of "The Office" for the entire third floor. Pretty standard stuff.

After watching the people at the table next to me yesterday grope and cuddle for about 20 minutes, something tells me that maybe that e-mail should've included "no PDA - at least, not where people can see you." I mean, I find a live floor show particularly distracting when I'm trying to watch TV in the library - I can imagine that the people actually doing work don't appreciate it, either.

in memoriam

I'd like to ask all of my readers out there to take a minute to bow their heads in silent prayer (to whichever entity you decide is prayer-worthy...yes, this includes praying to David Beckham).

Today, I mourn the passing of the last piece of my soul, which passed away at approximately 11:45 this morning when I broke my eight month long boycott of the law library, and decided to sit in said library and study.

This piece of my soul was preceded in death by every other bit of my soul. Services will be held tomorrow afternoon, to be followed by a ceremonial scattering of my soul's ashes on the lake.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Compensation for the Money that the Law School Bookstore Stiffed Me When They Refused to Refund What I Paid for the Books for the Class That Got Cancelled Yesterday Fund will be appreciated.
