closer to the death of choice.


the supreme court's decision today in Gonzales v. Carhart takes this country closer and closer to becoming one that prohibits choice for more than half the population, a scant thirty years after it awarded what may be considered limited choice to women. it is the single biggest choice decision to be handed down since Roe v. Wade.

this is the funniest thing i have seen in a long while.




as someone said, "Pearl was fantastic... but that guy with the afro was a bit lacking."

we all need someone, just one person, who challenges us.

and here is a good reminder.
hope you find someone.




p.s. this is why i loved pacey.

how cute is this?

It's Brandon Bunny!

looking for idenity of interests.

so yesterday the journals at the law school had their open houses.

i went to the journal of international law, which would be my number two choice after the law review.

i found someone interested in international development and had an exciting conversation with someone for the first time in months. it was a relief to talk to someone who understood and was interested in the same things.

too bad i then proceeded to talk his head off.

i miss my peeps. :(

the difference between me and the rural midwest

my friend works in the midwest and she told me a story that i think illustrate how much she and i miss those who get us.

she walked into the lunchroom where she worked.
she heard a woman say, "i like the discovery channel, but it is too evolutionary for me."
my friend walked out without saying anything, which i told her was probably best under the circumstances.

now, i am not knocking god or religion. but i miss similarity of thought, people who care about things that are similar to what i care about, and experience in life. i miss people who want to travel the world and taste the delights it has to offer. i miss museums and theatre. most of all, i miss those who are near and dear to me and get me. you can never underestimate how important that identity is - that someone gets you.

the pollen count is high?

it is just weird that in april, when it is below freezing and has been snowing everyday for a week, that www.weather.com is posting advisories about the pollen count being high. don't you think? umm.... freezing outside, snow in april, and high pollen count? just odd.

it reminds me of when i lived in texas and the weather would report on windchill factors when it was 60 degrees outside. (it was 55 with the windchill factor.) i'm from chicago. 5 below zero with a windchill factor that makes it 30 below zero is a windchill factor.

oi. back to class actions...

chi-town bound.


yes. this summer, after a many year departure, i will be living and working in the greater chicagoland area. i am still looking for a friend or relative to take in the poor, wayward law student that i am. but either way, i am looking forward to a summer with my family. it has been entirely too long.
