hey, is there anyone you can think of in your community that can type super fast and needs to make a little extra money on the side? It would be a good gig for someone who sits a lot...
I am writing this entry offline because ever since I have arrived in Humboldt (last night) I have been experiencing some serious internet issues. Seems like the DSL likes to collapse on me whenever I have more than two tabs open and working at a time. This is not something that I am used to, so I keep having to reboot my system every 15...

OK, so this isn't the much anticipated blog that I promised a couple of days ago, but I am drunk with power. I am officially a group owner on this site! Thanks NoFi for the honor. Now all of you come and apply to be in it, because as the group description implies:
have to make this quick because she needs to check her e-mail. She came in from Paris last night via Montreal without much of an issue. Seeing her was amazing, I guess all of the internet and snail mail communications for the past year or so helped in that regard. Even though we have not spent any time together in the last seven (7) years... Read More
My Evidence Professor, (a woman) just shared this story about being a public defender in the 1970's. She is the attorney cross-examining the witness as described below. We come in part way through:
Attorney: You two were drinking all that day?
Witness: That's right darlin'.
Attorney: But you said earlier that you had only had one drink that day?
Witness: It was one looong drink... Read More
Evidence just started kicking my ass tonight. Stupid Washington v. Crawford . Hearsay was sooo easy up until now. Oh well, I'll figure it out tomorrow after a little sleep. For now though, I am going to go to bed, and either read the New Yorker's Summer Fiction Issue (finally), or listen to Neil Gaiman reading his Hugo Award winning A Study in Emerald.... Read More
Wait ... you haven't drunk diesel? And you haven't read Lovecraft?
Really, Fernet and Gaiman doesn't stand up to diesel and Lovecraft. Or just Lovecraft.
DeusExMachina said:
Yeah. The one, and only time I have had Fernet is when I did a shot with one of my favorite bartenders. Of course, I would drink diesel if she put it in front of me. *swoon*.
It's been a while for me. I read all of it I could get my hands on as a kid. The first Lovecraft book I ever read was The Colour out of Space and I remember both being kind on unnerved by it and going back to read it two or three more times. The Dunwich Horror is probably the best known although I don't recall it having much of an impact on me.
Just chugged cup of coffee, crammed my backpack full of books, and loaded my ipod to the gills.
Now I just have to refill my water bottle and grab my sunglasses, and I am off to Santa Barbara for the weekend.
So much has happened in the past few weeks that if I tried to sum it up right here, I would go into some sort of auto-induced-flashback montage-catatonic state, and then this blog would never get updated.
I just got back from San Diego on Monday, where this was my view for 3 days and 4 nights, and proceeded to cruise through my 2nd week... Read More
San diego sounds nice. Im going to LA in a week or so. Cant wait. Amoebapalooza is when all the employees at amoeba put bands together and make asses of themselves. Its going to be at uptown in oaklandia.
