August Update

Lots have happened since the last post. I (1) bought a car, (2) moved, and (3) got a $50 haircut.

I am now the proud owner of a Toyota Prius. Driving a Prius feels like driving a giant computer. Once I failed to close the door properly, and it refused to let me put the car in reverse! Instead it gave me some cryptic computer message instructing me to put the car in park, which confused me for a good 2 minutes. The car does get great gas milage in stop-and-go traffic. Instead of getting impatient in traffic, now I just stare at the computer screen at the awesome mpg number I'm getting.

I moved to the peninsula. I never really liked the idea of suburbia but it would just make life too hard to continue living in SF. The peninsula is kinda boring. but my guess is I won't be seeing much of it anyways once work starts. One good thing is that I live very close to one of my favorite chain restaurants.

I got the $50 haircut in Japantown. I should have known it was going to be expensive b/c they described themselves as "stylists" instead of "barbers." They didn't cut my hair with anything electric. It was all done with three different pairs of scissors. The man washed my hair twice with 3 different products. He then finished off by putting a ton of gel in my hair which he then sculpted into the shape of a swan. It was a long walk home.

While I was packing for the move, I re-read some of my Barbri practice essays answers. I thought they were really good. I probably couldn't replicate that today. I don't think I could even do a minimum contacts analysis now. Hopefully by November, it'll be like I never went to law school at all.

756!

A hit.



On base.



Went to get some Thai food and use the bathroom. Realized Barry was at bat. Ran back to see him hit number 756 off of a 3-2 pitch. But failed to capture this on video.

They stopped the game so he can make this speech. Pitcher had to warm up again afterwards.



Souvenir.



Of course, I am blogging about Bonds because his first divorce changed California's law on premarital agreements.

The Trials of Law School

A documentary, premiering in Dallas this month.

Rest of July

A new month. It feels like the exam was so long ago.

I still haven't cleaned up my bar stuff yet. Underneath my coffee table is every page I tore out of the In-Class Workbook. My ziplock bag lays on the floor, untouched since my return last week. I need to find a box and stick all this junk inside.

The past two days I went on a sight-seeing / apartment-hunting excursion down the peninsula. Before I turned in my rental car, I drove thru Half Moon Bay, where I had lunch and looked at the Pacific Ocean. Have you ever noticed that it's almost impossible to be stressed when you are near the ocean? Well, almost.
