Anybody go to "Da U" and know who this guy is? He reminds me of 2Ls I know here. Check out the link above and make funny comments if you must. BTW, this is why I watch "The People's Court." Nothing beats a cold hearted "benchslap." ("benchslap" should be a registered TM of www.abovethelaw.com)
We are 3Ls - back in school and bitter as ever. While we all will be practicing in different areas after we graduate, one common bond unites us: we can't wait to be done. We come here to bitch and not do much else. So if you're looking for deep thoughts or insightful political commentary, find a different blog to read.
Brain Cramper
According to this article, the way you see it spin tells you which side of your brain is dominant. If you try to engage the opposite side of your brain while not looking at the picture, you can make her switch directions.
I initially saw her spinning counter-clockwise, but was able to make her spin clockwise. How about you?
Not a valid form of birth control
Every time my corporations professor mentions partners prematurely withdrawing I can't help but snicker.

Security Breach
It happened when I was sitting at my desk this morning, reveling in the fact that for the first time in three weeks I didn't have to go to trial, and I was finally trying to attack the mass of papers that have accumulated. I was the only person in the office so far (or so I thought), so I had a little bit of Madonna playing (shut it Bitches!). All of a sudden I heard some movement from behind one of the other desks.
I didn't think much of it, just that maintenance had gotten in early or something. I heard someone talking, so I figured there were probably two of them changing lightbulbs or figuring out why it can NEVER be a comfortable temperature in the room. I just turned down the Madonna (seriously! Shut it!) and got back to answering the billion emails I had ignored over the past couple weeks.
Then I heard, "Mmm... Granola Bar."
That peaked my interest, so I got up and walked around the corner of the cubicle and came to find a homeless-looking guy rifling through one of my coworker's desks.
When I asked him politely to leave, he mentioned the couch we have in a side office that we use for napping (hey, we're government employees). "Mind if I crash here for a little while?" Ummm... yes, actually.
On his way out though, he was at least nice enough to say, "Oh, and thanks for breakfast."
He and I could get along.

Where Were You...
...12 years ago today?
I was in my high school cafeteria eating a tuna sandwhich on stale bread when the verdict was read. There was a moment of silence, followed mostly by outrage -- and then a few cheers.
I never would have guessed that it was something I would still recall 12 years later.
And no, that is not why I decided to become a lawyer. But I think it may have been Johnnie Cochran's performance that led Lance here.
