You have to try Orbit Sweet Mint Gum. It's the best. It tastes like Girlscouts. Actually it tastes kind of like Thin Mint cookies. Or minty cake batter, which is much better tasting than you're thinking. Anyway, try it. It's good. I swear. It's much better than Orbit Sweet Meat Gum.
Last night I feel asleep on my couch at around 9pm and woke up around 10pm. I quickly ran to bed hoping to continue sleeping through the night. No luck, I woke up and was wide awake. I tried reading and I tried listening to music, but it took me several hours to fall asleep. Very annoying.
I guess there is a zoo just across the border in Temperance Michigan that is like a huge petting zoo where you can feed Kangaroos! Kangaroos!!!! I want to go so bad. Kangaroos are only like my second most favorite marsupial ever (after the oppossom). One time my Aunt was driving through the country near Eaton Rapids and swore she saw a Kangaroo hopping in a cornfield, but she was alone so everyone thought she was crazy. Well, we just dismissed it. Then some time later my Aunt learned that there was a wallaby farm in Eaton Rapids and sometimes they escape and hang out in the corn field. So it turns out that my Aunt was not crazy and had good reason to think she saw a kangaroo since she saw a wallaby which is like a small kangaroo. Mystery solved!
So, I just found out from Jay that Kathy Griffin is getting a divorce from Hubby Matt. I can't believe it! They seemed so happy on the reality show. That makes me sad.
My Evidence professor today was talking about testimony and impeaching that testimony. He used an example where a person said they saw the movie Aladdin at the theater, but in reality A River Runs Through It was showing. He used these because they are very different and "You would know if you're watching A River Runs Through It or not." He asked then if anyone had seen it, and he said "what a sleeper" which isn't didn't really seem the correct use of sleeper. Anyway he proceeded to rip on the movie and called it boring. I loved it. I thought it was a great movie and it changed my life. It made me want to go fly fishing. I didn't go, but I thought about it.
In Fed Tax, my prof dropped a bomb that next week he will have surgery to remove a tumor from the side of his face. So we will miss class one day and another prof will take over for a week until he can hopefully come back and teach the class. I don't know how he can do that if he's having surgery and then will have to undergo chemo and radiation. I know that sucks so I feel really bad for him. I have him for Estate & Gift Tax too, but no one else can teach that, so we won't have class for at least two weeks. He said our final though will be only multiple choice and should be quite easy. It will be easy for him to grade at least and that's good. I hope it's not 3 hours of multiple choice though. I hope that he does well. He's a nice guy and a great professor.
Scott sent me a picture today of Pandas doing it. I think Scott has a furry panda fetish, but I'm not sure. He is mysterious.
Beth sent me a link to thesuperficial.com which is hilarious. It reminds me of gofugyourself.com. This is what they had to say about Anna Nicole and her lawsuit:
Walking douchechill, Anna Nicole Smith, recently appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in one last attempt to yank millions of dollars out of her late husband's cold dead hands. Smith claims that oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II promised her millions of dollars when they got married in 1994 - he was 89 years old and she was 26 - but that Marshall's son schemed to cut her out of the estate after Marshall's passing only a year after he married Smith. Yesterday, U.S. Supreme Court justices said they would consider Smith's appeal, which could land her as much as $474,000,000.
It scares me to think of future law school students studying the socio-legal implications of a case like Anna Nicole Smith v. Decency, where the evidence starts from Exhibit C and goes all the way through to Exhibit Double-F, and consists mostly of bras and the random number generator Anna Nicole used to determine the size of her new bust line every week. I'm not saying that her breasts will be a deciding factor in the high court's decision per se, but you try to keep a bunch of angry old men's attention for more than three minutes without flashing some bra action. Plus I hear Ruth Bader Ginsburg is totally into experimenting, and apparently she likes 'em busty.
I've heard that RBG likes them busty, too. There must be some truth in that.
I listened to a speaker today about slavery. Her point was that slavery still exists but not in the traditional form we know from the Southern United States. Her speech was interesting and there is a lot of injustice still left in the world. I don't know if child labor should be called slavery but it's an injustice that must be fixed right away. However, she treated the child armies of Africa, forced prostitution, and migrant employment as slavery and there was not much difference as far as she was concerned. I think a lot of people would disagree with that, even though much of it is sad and should be stopped. The speaker also used a lot of mixed metaphors and used some buzzwords and catch phrases incorrectly so it didn't really make sense. Overall I enjoyed her speech and appreciated her message, but thought it was a little too broad and a little too radical so I was left wondering: since slavery is everywhere and so ingrained in society, what can I do to change it? I can't stop the slavery and genocide in the Sudan so what can I do by myself to help.
Bah. I just got called on in Family Law. I had to talk about a case where this guy and girl were married and right after the guy graduated from Wayne State Law school they got divorced. The trial court calculated the value of his law degree and awarded the wife 40% of it. Very interesting. I think I did ok, but I hated it. I thought she wanted me to say something, but all she wanted me to say was that the decision is confusing and arbitrary because how do you measure the value of a law degree?
I enjoy Mike's opinions on the new shows out this year at Dorks vs. Geeks. I agree with him about the shows I've seen so far. Some are good, some are not. A lot have potential but are just not that interesting in the end. It's a shame really. I've seen a few episodes of Situation: Comedy on Bravo, but I don't know if they ever even show the final results to vote on. Hmm.
