25 YEARS. Of not spending money, but re-gifting. As a card-carrying Scotsman, I hereby grant honorary 'Cheap as a Scotsman' status to your parents. I truly am in awe.

How long has this been going on that they've not been caught?

So I'm home now. My parents are, at the moment, pawing through the presents that were dropped off by various relatives, disassembling them, and re-wrapping them as new presents to give back to the various relatives, none of whom have caught on to the fact that we always drop off our gifts last.

Okay, I'm out all. Take it easy.

I got Civ Pro last. Contracts is up next. My study group had a big fit about option contracts and unilateral contracts that needs to be resolved tomorrow morning.

On the bright side, I think I now finally understand supplemental jurisdiction.

If you honestly billed 2400 hours in a year, more power to you. I can't even conceive of coming close to that, ever.

My parents pay for my cell phone, but that's only because it's on a family plan and it costs them something like an extra $5 a month; beyond that, everything else is paid for myself. I did live at home rent-free for a couple years, but I bought all my own groceries, paid for cable, and generally made myself as…

Dual 30s would be nice... I've got dual 22s right now, and I love it. At this point, I'd rather have two monitors than one big one, because it really does let me multitask better; I feel more productive having, say, Westlaw on one monitor and Word in another (or Windows Media Center on one monitor and Firefox in…

Undergrad is a little different than law school.

Whoops, sorry. Involuntary remembrance of cramming for finals. Honestly, if you were there during the year, did your reading, and kept up, you're going to get the grade you should. Missing a night here or there (if the tradeoff is as you've alluded) will not hurt you.

How's the studying going?

I took my LSATs today - any spinners here know of any any methods to take the mush out of my brain? I'm wondering if my vodka and tonic water cure will do the job.

Is there a song that will stay stuck in your head faster? No, none more stuckable.

I have been telling people about this machine for weeks because I want one for Christmas. Nobody believed me that it existed.

Okay, things were fucking FINE a minute ago. GAWKER IT, WHAT THE HELL???

I hate law school, law school classes, law school professors, law school textbooks, and especially law school finals. Just thought I'd share.

Whatever happened to today's big announcement?
