Beef Tenderloin stuffed with Shrimp Etouffee. Beef Tenderloin stuffed with Blue Cheese and Spinach. Baked Vegetables on a bed of Mixed Greens. A bottle of Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon. Yum! The girlfriend found the recipe for the meal in one of her magazines, so we decided to make an evening out of it. I thought it would be good because it incorporated one of my favorite things: meat stuffed

Everyone here has read the stories, seen the news, and heard the rumors. Personally, I think that there's a lot more to this story than we've been told. There are easier ways to committ suicide, and there are safer locations to detonate a pipe-bomb. I think this guy intended to do something more destructive, but either had a change of heart or just failed to execute his original plan

The girlfriend and I just spent the day watching movies, dozing on the couch, and in all other ways being as lethargic as possible. Now we're off to The Red Dirt to see our friend Ro's band. I've heard from the brother that they're really good, and I know that Ro has talent, so I'm excited to see what he's got.

It seems that Mr. Kerry is having some trouble running his campaign. Here's an excerpt:At a recent meeting of senior staff members, Democrats said, Mr. Kerry's aides became entangled in a lengthy debate over what might seem to be a less than urgent issue: whether they should send a Democratic operative to Bush rallies dressed as Pinocchio, a chicken or a mule, to illustrate various lines of

My performance on the Contracts final this morning can best be described as dismal. Verbal flatulence. Unorganized dreck. Pick one, they're all charitable. I felt pretty good about my understanding of the material this morning, but then I began scanning the exam.One strategy to taking a final is to look over the entire final, then begin working on the question that's worth the most points.

While reading different articles discussing the War on Terror, I get the feeling that the debate is over and neither side will budge. Case in point is this story, Taking Chance Home, about the respect we pay to the soldiers who have fallen while defending our freedom. It begins with this:Chance Phelps was wearing his Saint Christopher medal when he was killed on Good Friday. Eight days later, I

Guinness, that is. I'm rewarding myself with 14.9 ounces of Guinness Draught after every exam.The Torts final was fair, as expected. Two essay questions and 22 multiple choice.

I went to bed early last night, sometime around 12:30am, in the hopes of catching up on my sleep and having the energy to jump-start my studies in the morning. Good idea, except I was attacked by the 1L bugbear while trying to fall asleep: panic that I was going to fail every class, no matter how much I studied. I was in bed, wide awake, debating whether I should just get up and do some more

I began this blog on February 25, 2003 by saying that "I'm starting this blog because I'm frustrated by the lack of discussion of current events by my fellow blogger." I don't know what I was thinking then, because I have since discovered how difficult it is to say something original about current events. Every time something newsworthy occurs, I found that the big boys on my blog roll had

My window for enrollment in the Summer and Fall semesters was yesterday. Due to an administrative glitch, I was unable to handle the process on my own, so I had to enlist the help of one of the ladies in the Administrative office to fill out the form. Kind of silly, but she was able to get me into most of the classes I wanted.I'll be taking Professional Responsibility (3 hrs) this summer, which

I watched The Cosby Show as a teenager. It was a good show, with a funny script and good characters, but something about it always bothered me. I realized that the recurring theme of the show revolved around Cliff (and occasionally Theo) trying to do something clever and Claire outwitting him.I first noticed the formula in the episode in which Claire hurt her foot, and she and Cliff had to go

I finished my reading for the remaining term last week. I also started collating my notes, third-party sources, and outlines a while back.

Last November, the girlfriend and I went to the OAWL Auction. Poor as we are, we somehow managed to make the winning bid for a dinner with the Honorable Judge Johnson.

I just learned that my good friend Kris B. has been accepted to the University of Oklahoma College of Law Class of 2007! She took a rather, uh, meandering route through her undergraduate days, but decided last year that she wanted to go to law school, and just rocked her LSAT.

Spent the weekend with the parents and girlfriend. I've found that I can study more effectively at their house, due to lack of distractions. So. Blogging will be light today. And probably overall, until finals are complete. I hope to at least make a daily post, so we'll see how it goes.

It's hard to believe this story (via The Volokh Conspiracy) is true, but if so, then it is yet another example of how the War on Terror is succeeding. Many people believe the whole point in invading Iraq was for oil, or perhaps because it was the humanitarian thing to do. I don't believe the first reason, and I see the second one as a beneficial by-product, but the real reason we invaded Iraq

I, on the other hand, once raised a chicken in a bathroom at my house growing up. It started off as a third-grade science project, in which each student incubated an egg. My egg was one of the few to hatch, so I was lucky enough to be allowed to take the

Overheard while my brother and a friend were preparing to go to the Medieval Fair: "Am I dressed okay for this?" His friend responded that he was ahead of the curve merely by not wearing chainmail, and I added he'll be fine as long as he doesn't say things like "comely wench" or anything about a "broadsword".On the other hand, any comment about a "holy hand grenade" is always welcome.

Condi is going to testify, publicly and under oath. It's what the Dems have wanted, and they are about to have their way. I have to wonder, though, if they've really thought this one through. Money quote: "Rice is the most poised, articulate, and convincing speaker in the entire administration. She will mop up the floor with Clarke."

I found a great op-ed by Jeff Jacoby over at the Boston Globe. He talks about the return of refugees in Iraq, and of people who are no longer afraid of Saddam's regime. Here's a quote:With all the news coming out of the Middle East, here is a detail you might have missed: A few weeks ago, the United Nations shut down the Ashrafi refugee camp in southwestern Iran. For years Ashrafi had been the

Living with my brother and my girlfriend, I find that certain words take on different meanings when we're alone. Sometimes, we even make up words to describe something we see around the house. Here's a few that I've noticed recently:flomp: Used originally when talking about the dog, it now means collapsing in an unseemly fashion on the floor, without warning, whenever one is feeling

The administration can't be happy about this. We fell in the U.S. New & World Report Law School Ranking to #67. I'm interested to hear the spin, because I know that a few years ago a similar drop occurred, and the administration blamed it upon a clerical error. I'll let you know when I hear.UPDATE: David Bernstein over at The Volokh Conspiracy has some thoughts on the subject as well. His

We just finished the third round of Moot Court, and tonight was interesting. The judges seemed intent on throwing issues at us that were not part of the record, such as why the farmers did not have crop insurance or why there is no record of expert testimony about weather foreseeability. Short answer: Because this is Moot Court, and we never had details about a trial presented in the record.

We started off the day by heading to the Cairns Railway Station, en route to Kuranda. We had decided earlier that we would have one touristy day in Cairns and one in Sydney, so the decision to take a train didn't feel too hokey. It took about an hour to get there, and we were thankful we had chosen to take the train in the morning, as it was already becoming pretty humid. The scenery along the

Professor M said something at the end of class today that just plain amazed me. He said that tomorrow we were going to talk about THE TRUTH. Anyone who has been to law school can tell you that you NEVER hear about the TRUTH, in fact the TRUTH is to be shunned, hidden, manipulated, or just ignored. Needless to say, I was shocked. Until I realized that the prof was talking about defenses to

This week all the lowly 1L's have Moot Court, to be followed by more Moot Court next week. The professors recognize that we're devoting most of our attention to this rite of passage, and have pretty well left us alone. One prof even thanked us for showing up to his class this week. The interesting aspect is that we have three rounds of oral arguments, but only the first one is graded. A few of

The girlfriend and I made it home, about four hours after we left Sydney. (There is the small issue of a date line, so that includes about twenty-eight hours of airport and airplane time.) My body tells me that it's about 4:00am right now, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to talk about the trip. The most important tidbit is that we had an amazing adventure in Australia, and I look forward

Another morning up at 6:30am. I guess jet-lag can work in your favor, if you're lucky. We had a different driver to the marina this morning, very talkative and friendly. I guess that could be said about most of the Australians we've met. Heading out to sea, the weather was a bit choppy, and about half the people on board were sea-sick, but once again the girlfriend and I were fine. She even

Up at 6:30am for the transfer to the marina. On the boat by 8:00am. It was raining at the dock, but cleared up nicely once we were out to sea. A few people were sea-sick, but the girlfriend and I were fine, drinking coffee and eating muffins on the TUSA III. Dive #1 -- Do not drink sea water. It will leave a taste that will not go away. Otherwise, the dive went well. We saw a lot of coral

I've got your 'impracticability' right here! I finished that damn LRW&A brief this evening. Two all-nighters and few afternoon/evenings of work, but it's finished. My biggest frustration is that no matter how hard or long I worked at it, the brief was never going to be something I was proud of.

Politics are supposed to be dirty. Read any history book and you'll see that it's always been that way. I don't mind a bit of name calling, but I do think that our President and First Lady (or First Husband, if it ever happens) should display a certain level of class.

You may have read about the glowing terms used by the Korea Central News Agency with regard to John Kerry. To be fair, I don't believe for a second that Mr. Kerry sought or desired such an endorsement, but it begs the question of why Kim's official mouthpiece would favor one candidate over another.

My brother and I watched the new ads from President Bush's Advertising Campaign. We both thought they were very low-key, considering the sort of things we wanted to see. I've read in a few places that many consider them to be insensitive and overly political, which I must say is ludicrous, unless you forget that we are at war! So many people I read about and talk to seem to forget that, which

My first home computer was an Atari 800. Back in the day, we must have bought and traded for about 300 games, many of which were more fun than most of the games released today. Feeling nostalgic, I went searching for an emulator, found a few games, and spent the evening playing Infocom's Enchanter. I highly recommend a similar excursion to any fellow geeks out there.

Good news for the newly-liberated Iraqis: "It was a very emotional moment," [Salem Chalabi, a representative from the Iraqi National Congress] told The Associated Press. "We established a bill of rights like no other in the region. It was quite a remarkable thing" - even more so for being hammered out in the former Military Industry Ministry, a bulwark of Saddam Hussein's ousted regime. The

We recently bought some offset door hinges for an interior door. In conjunction with the girlfriend's new chair, affectionately known as The Deuce, our lives have become a bit less complicated. The problem we used to face is that this one doorway in our household was merely 1'10" wide, while Pepe, the previous chair, had a width of about 2'2". Now, with the hinges, the doorway is 2' wide, and

I once heard that the trick to working well with other people is learning this simple maxim: You can't change others, you can only change yourself. I think that I'll have to use this advice with regard to Professor R, a teacher with many good attributes and one glaringly bad one. I must admit that he is an effective professor.

She looked stunning in a backless top and long skirt, with her hair in an elegant up-do.

Den Beste has a great rebuttal to the contention that the US is "essentially a European country." His best line:Short words and phrases are labels, not explanations, and it does no good to use the word "blue" when talking to someone born blind, or the word "honor" when talking to a European.Go read the whole thing.

Andrew Sullivan has some interesting thoughts about the Massachusetts decision. My favorite quote: "I've said it once, I'll say it a million times: this is a conservative measure. It brings an alienated minority into the fold of citizenship and common humanity. It makes - once and for all - sexual orientation a non-issue. As it should be." (italics supplied)

This is for Mr. Love (a classmate whom I respect, even if he is a die-hard Democrat):Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting
