Am I crazy or is Sarah Jessica Parker as ugly as hell? I saw her on the cover of Elle the other day and I actually recoiled. And yet she sells beauty products and all this other stuff-- I just saw some ad for her shelling some kind of face cream. I feel like there's some Emperor's New Clothes type shenanigans going on.

It is very clear that I hate the law, which is why I am happy I went to BU instead of shelling out for a better school. So now I'm kind of wondering what I should do when I graduate. The only things I have ever felt like I would actually enjoy doing are being a vet or a librarian. I am very glum. At least class is over for the semester.

Bullshit-- I would do anything to receive this as a gift.

I feel really awkward about having a summer gig because most people I know don't have one. Like, even Top 10%/Law Review people don't have offers. URMs with good grades don't have offers. Hiring was nonexistent this fall. 

Luckily, I am basically friendless, so I don't have to go into detail about stuff very often. But it's a pretty weird situation, and I have never experienced anything like it and would prefer not to have to feel this way again.

Jim: why'd you use a hyphen there?

Okay, so Life Goal #1: Get an Awesome Job seems like something i can tentatively put a checkmark next to.

On to Life Goal #2: Become a Hot Chick.

Our awful hamster has finally disappeared. Frankly, I am happy to discover that he is gone.

I think a major problem with the movies compared with the books is that the supporting characters in the movies (e.g. all the professors) are really, really good actors. A specific example of this is obviously Alan Rickman. His Snape is not like the book's Snape-- Rickman can take the script and imbue it with subtleties to make the character better than it is written. Almost all of the adult actors are like this-- they are too good for the parts they are written. The opposite is true with the kids. I really don't think any of them are particularly good actors, and their weak acting makes the story feel unbalanced on the screen. When you're watching, say, Snape talk to McGonagall and/or Dumbledore, it feels like you are watching a different, better movie than when you're watching Harry talk to Ron and Hermione, and that is not the way it is supposed to be.

Anyway, I just re-read the series and I am kind of thinking about seeing the movie even though I don't really like any of the previous movies that I have seen. I never saw the 5th movie, and I only watched the 4th movie for the 1st time a couple of weeks ago. But the 6th book is my favorite book, so I am thinking about checking it out. Me liking these books so much makes me not like the movies, and this situation kind of makes me wonder if I might like the Twilight movie. Other than Breaking Dawn, I don't really like any of the books in the series because the main character is so pathetic and embarrasing, so maybe the movie will improve on the book by having the actress play Bella as someone who isn't so shamefully clumsy, dependent, moody, and otherwise unpleasant to read about.

Ha! Eat it you american fucks waiting for Mike Carey's 3rd book to come out in July! I have just received books 3 and 4 shipped from the UK and I will have read both of them in paperback before the hardcover pf 3 comes out here. MWAHAHAHA!

iPod touch = all the fun of an iPhone without the outrageous $70+ monthly bill.

lesson of the day: do not ever answer questions policemen ask.

also, stupid ups has managed to fuck up delivery of my watch so instead of getting it yesterday, like i was supposed to, i will be getting i on Monday at the latest. Very lame. it is very upsetting to not have a working watch. it is never H o'clock or J:3P and i am tired of looking down and seeing things like this.

the palm pre.

Or maybe I need to stop giving off a vibe that makes groups of men think I want to hang out with them during lunch.
Since I don't think I can control giving off "I am a stereotypical butch lesbian" pheromones, I should probably keep up with sports just to be able to talk about it.

Really, it seemed normal at the time, but now that I am at home the idea that a 3 50+ year old men thought I would make good company is pretty goddamn weird. I could understand one of the guys wanting to hang out because he was in his 20's and was obviously hitting on me, but the others? Maybe I reminded them of their kids and they thought I was lonely? I dunno. And their icebreaking talk was all sports-- which was really interesting because I kind of assumed this was a stereotype. But each one who sat down was gave some variation of "which sport/teams do you prefer?" upon meeting me. So we talked about the Lakers. And then we talked about Brett Favre, who may or may not leave the Packers to play for the Vikings (i was assured that this would not make the Vikings a championship-level team and not to worry about it). And we talked about how damnable various NY teams were. And so on. And that is how I spent my lunch today.
