Horn Dog

I have it on very good authority that Michael Franti of Spearhead (http://www.spearheadvibrations.com/index.html) is a total horndog and would hump your leg if he was going out with you.

Yes, it's true! Michael Franti told a crowd of slightly drunk lawyers, law students and legal workers on Saturday, October 29, 2005, that he would hump their collective leg. Crazy, eh?

;)

Okay, that's the best celebrity gossip I've got.

Why can't we dress up everyday?

Sadly, I only took a few photos last night (apparently sipping some beer and taking photos at the same time is too difficult for me). But, I think I captured some great costumes. From Kristin's "walk of shame" to Antonio's "cat lady," I love it!

Megan's argyle sweater: #2

Yes! We are pleased to announce that Megan has a SECOND argyle sweater. If everyone is really lucky, perhaps Megan will tell her argyle sweater #1 story (believe you me: it's really good).

Harriet Miers

27?!

According to Internet Movie Database, Jason from Laguna Beach is 27 years old.

The Celebrity Clause: I was this close

So, last night at the Weezer/Foo Fighters show, Dave Grohl came into the audience and played his guitar about five feet from me. I wanted to shout out: My boyfriend says I can have sex with you no problem. But I didn't. In any event, it was awesome to be very near him--although he was really drunk and kept burping alot. Ew. On second thought, maybe I'll just stick to trying to bed local newscaseters.

PLEASE be true...

Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling engaged?

My Halloween costume!

Princess Toadstool!! Think I can pull it off? I'm actually excited to have the massive blonde hair. Come to think of it, it probably won't be massive because I'm cheap and don't want to spend a lot of money on a wig. And what is up with this pose? Is she praying? Sighing? Singing? And why is the picture so small?

No, not a head shot...

This is Tom DeLay's booking photo at the Harris County sheriff's office. I can't help it - it's really actually quite funny...I mean, he looks so happy....

If only I could watch...

Yes, I love Gilmore Girls. Yes, I'm sad that I can't watch new episodes this semester. Yes, they sure have random guest-stars....

From Salon.com
If you liked her role in formulating U.S. foreign policy under Bill Clinton, you'll love getting to see former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in "Gilmore Girls." She's set to appear on the show Oct. 25. Executive producer Amy Sherman-Palladino says, "If you think she seems brilliant and sassy strutting around the Middle East, you should try talking to her in person"

That Rivers...

From Salon.com:
A rock star going back to college, and it doesn't involve a reality TV show? Rivers Cuomo is heading back to Harvard to finish an English lit degree in February, after a seven-year leave of absence. He says he's going to stay in the dorms.

Guess who...

is opening for U2 in Portland this December. Guess (no cheating by looking it up on the internet, or asking friends, relatives, pets, plants, tarot cards...)! I'll reveal the answer shortly (guess because it'll make my afternoon much more interesting).


Ok ok ok...Here's the answer (for Tori): Kayne West!!! Isn't that weird?!?

Kristin and Stephen WILL be our friends!!

Kristin has just informed us that Kristin and Stephen from Laguna Beach will be at the Washington Square Mall THIS weekend! eeeee!!! I've got to go buy a really cool outfit for my new best friends! What ever will I wear???

Celebrity Look-a-Likes

Okay. Has anyone else (other than Ryan) experienced this phenomenon: people decide that you look like someone famous and then are completely incapable of acting normally around you. Like, they actually treat you like you ARE that famous person. Even if they have not only your word that you are NOT that person, but additional information like, say, your banking account number, social security number, and actually bank account balance (and there is no WAY a famous person has that little money...) Is our society so star-obsessed that merely LOOKING like a famous person entitles someone to special treatment? Because if so...Well, I really want to cash in on that. Though I want my bank tellers to not freak out on me anymore.

On a completely unrelated note: does anyone know of a need for a Jennifer Jason Leigh look-a-like?

Jigga-what?!

Courtesy of MSN Gossip:
"Hear that? No, it's not the sound of sands through the hourglass -- it's the last remaining shred of the Rolling Stones' street cred being cut. The New York Post reports the antediluvian rockers have teamed up with "Days of Our Lives" in an effort to leave no marketing opportunity unturned in the promotion of their latest effort, "A Bigger Bang." The band will debut the video for their song "Streets of Love" on the soap opera next Tuesday, with the ditty set to pop up in various scenes over the next month."

Looking to hire an attorney in 10 months?

Because I'm an undefeated trial attorney. I've NEVER lost a trial!
Granted, I've only had *one* trial (that lasted about 10 minutes and consisted of me repeating what the supervising attorney was saying), but it is an excellent indication that I will never, ever lose a trial. Ever.
Or maybe it's just an excellent indication that I'm like a parrot. Go ahead: say something. I bet I can repeat your statement...even without adding "purple monkey dishwasher" to it somewhere.

Westlaw, you never cease to amaze...

I just found out (via surfing the Westlaw rewards catalog), you can cash in Westlaw points for Laguna Beach: The Complete First Season. Now, if I didn't already HAVE Laguna Beach: The Complete First Season, I would totally get it!! But that Westlaw...they sure know what the people want (excellent "reality" television)!!

Hurley?! No Way

So, in my attempt to waste time, I took a Lost Personality Test. Which character of Lost am I most like?

THIS GUY!

Come to think of it...we kind of DO look alike...

Huffman, just take the friggin' bar! Why? The Supreme Court says so, THAT'S why.

Kristin's Ethics prof recently pointed out that the dean of our law school didn't feel like taking the bar and decided to take it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Check out the district Court opinion at 372 F. Supp. 1175:

Graduate of the University of Chicago Law School and resident of the State of Montana brought suit challenging, on equal protection grounds, the constitutionality of Montana's statutorily enacted 'diploma privilege,' under which the graduates of the University of Montana Law School are excepted from undergoing an examination as to their qualifications prior to their admission to the Montana Bar. A three-judge District Court, Battin, J., held that (1) the appropriate standard of review was whether any rational justification could be stated for the existence of the diploma privilege, not whether it was justified by a compelling governmental interest, (2) the diploma privilege does bear a reasonable relationship to an applicant's fitness and capacity to practice law, and (3) the diploma privilege does not infringe on other law school graduates' constitutional right to freely travel from state to state.

Survey says (Supreme Court survey that is) . . .
Relief DENIED!

I hate everybody...

Hey, you! Yeah, you - the one who's talking in a normal voice in the LIBRARY. Last I checked, buddy, talking in a normal voice in the library was unacceptable. NEWS FLASH: I just checked, and low and behold it's STILL unacceptable.

Why is it that I get evil thoughts by being in the library on a Saturday?
Oh, maybe it's because I'm in the library...on a SATURDAY. I need a break(aka: drink)...I'm going to start to go off on someone who's "chewing" too loudly or "thinking" too loudly in a matter of minutes.

Laguna Scoop

Here are some interesting tidbits about our #1 favorite show: Laguna Beach. Alright, it might not be #1, but it's up there. I personally like the Kristin-Lindsey Lohan connections.

This Just In . . .

First--and perhaps most importantly, Nic and Jessica have issued a joint denial that they are splitting up. I'm really on the fence about this . . . . I don't know who to believe. Would US magazine really lie to me?

Second--Check out this hilarious link which tries to come up with Harriet Mier celebrity look alikes.

WAIT! Stop the presses! In mid-blog I ran across this tasty item. KATIE HOLMES IS PREGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think its a sign of armageddon.

Shocking? No..

Does this really surprise anyone? Not me - now, I can't wait to hear who they cheated on each other with...

RIAA is stupid

I highly recommend reading this article by tinymixtapes.com. It's about an Oregonian woman who is suing the RIAA under RICO for being falsely accused of downloading music ("gangsta rap" to be specific). My favorite is the letter she got and the Settlement Support Center "help line."

Poor annie

I think my cat is depressed. she apparently spent all day yesterday hiding under the bed and she's been really touchy. she also has been sitting in weird places (like under chairs that she usually sits on top of) and not meowing at all, which is bizarre for her. she's quite chatty.
anyway, since MY cures of 1) bourbon; 2) cheetos; and 3) the food network don't seem to be appropriate for her, i'm taking suggestions on how to cheer her up.

Taking the gmail plunge

So, I've decided to start using gmail (thanks, Nicole!), but I can't decide if I should go with a "Liz" account or an "Elizabeth" account. What should I do? It's actually troubling me...perhaps a little TOO much.

I'm also convinced that Google will one day rule the world (if it doesn't already).

Just Ask Harriet

So, while Harriet Miers has not written any judicial opinions or many law review articles, she apparently answers questions posed to the "Ask the White House" website. She is so eloquent--check out her response describing her job at the White House and how the President's dog Barney entertains himself:

Asked about her job at the White House, Miers said her principle responsibility is to "coordinate policy development for the administration." She praised Bush's staff and singled out Andy Card for leading it in a "remarkable" way. "You may have seen him on TV," Miers wrote. "He is from Boston. He does not have a Texas accent like me." She said that then-Attorney General John Ashcroft was doing "an outstanding job." And she explained that metal horseshoes are "too heavy for Barney to lift, so he doesn't carry them around. Instead he moves them around with his nose."

I hope all of her judicial opinions adopt the same patronzing attitude!

If you want to see what she said about actual policy crap (i.e. the war on terror and No Child Left Behind) go here.

Hot or not?

Here's what we know about Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers: Never married. No kids. Values privacy. I think her and Justice Souter would totally hit it off - they should totally date!!

Don't you DARE steal my highlighter!

So, it's a glorious Sunday early afternoon, and I'm sitting in the library, like a sucker...I'm also losing it completely. Since it's a Sunday, there are very few people in the library at this time (football must be on). However, that did not stop my from "rationally" believing that someone stole my highlighter off my table. Granted, I have a laptop, ipod and wallet sitting right there, but I was CONVINCED someone stole my crusty, old highlighter.
Upon further investigation, I found my highlighter. Right. Where. I. Left. It.

But don't think I'm not on to you people...HANDS OFF MY CRUSTY HIGHLIGHTER - I NEED IT TO LIVE!!!
