All right. For those of you who have been waiting patiently for me to enter the current century: I finally joined Facebook. Now you can be my friends. =)

Good morning, everyone.
So, my first Corporate Tax exam is less than 12 hours away, and I'm less than halfway through the material that I need to study...9.26.2006
It's been one of those weeks...
... does anyone else ever wonder whether a career at Burger King would be such a bad thing?
OK, so I'm pretty sure that flipping burgers for my entire life would be worse than 18 months of grad school, but... sometimes I wonder.
Weeks like this are actually a good thing, though: They make me meditate a lot more on the fact that I have a God who is both sovereign and good. That's probably why weeks like this happen.

Is this really necessary?
Injured dolphin may get prosthetic tail
Not that I'm against being kind to animals, but how many humans are there with missing limbs that could be helped with that $100,000+ that is being spent on a prosthetic dolphin tail?

What I Found in the Dishwasher
I was emptying the dishwasher at my apartment the other day and noticed something stuck in the back c
orner at the bottom of the dishwasher...
I would like to point out that I do not own any dishes like this, and I'm pretty sure my roommate doesn't, either. Presumably, the dish belonged to the previous tenants (two male law students), who perhaps wondered why they ended up with a lid that had no corresponding dish. Or maybe they didn't.

Sandra Day O'Connor
I got to go to this yesterday.
It's interesting how the article (particularly the opening paragraphs) makes it sound as if affirmative action was main topic of the hour. It doesn't mention O'Connor's remarks on "activist" judges, "swing votes" on the Court, the independence of the judiciary, and the percentage of female Supreme Court law clerks.
The article does briefly mention O'Connor's stories of trying to get her first job in an era when few lawyers were women. After graduating from Stanford, she finally managed to get an interview at a law office in Los Angeles--only to be asked about her typing skills and told that she could possibly work as a secretary in the firm.
Ironically, O'Connor was later asked to speak at the firm's 100th anniversary celebration. And the U.S. Attorney General who called and asked if she would be willing to consider the nomination to the Supreme Court was a former partner in that firm.

The Wall Street Journal
I have to pay for The Wall Street Journal for school. I get access to the online edition, as well s the opportunity to pick up a print edition each day.This is my stack of papers that I haven't yet read. At least I'm faithful in picking them up each day!
