True or False (names changed to protect the innocent):

1. Geoff is way too nice and would probably pay $90.00 for Radiohead's new album "In Rainbows"
2. Shancy is exceedingly manipulative and would try and download "In Rainbows" for free
3. Geoff and Chris (think "necessaries") should meet up and commiserate about their unfortunate luck in relationships.
4. Geoff and Chris would make a good couple because Geoff has no money and Chris has a lot that he can spare on a lovely party to cheer up Geoff.
5. "Timeless as a river" is a classy inscription
6. "Timeless as a river" really refers to Rivers Drying Up, and is an ironic eco-political statement Geoff and Shancy thought up while on a river trip on the Yellow River.
7. Shancy should have asked her wealthy parents for $$$ for med school, not her poor significant other.
8. I'm procrastinating.

Law school is full of little, special, thrilling moments. Like today for example...I sat down to do a little research for the Common Law Marriage memo and after six blissful hours, I had found one case on point. It was a magical, fun-filled Saturday afternoon. I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring.

Why collude when you can run around nude?

Inspired by a conversation with a fellow classmate, I found this photo to aptly depict the law...many shades of gray and without form.

It seems counter-intuitive that a "Good-Samaritan" would bill the person s/he helped, right?

Insight I have gained in the last 4 hours:

It is best not to spend time writing absurdities on your blog at 1:40 a.m. when you should be rewriting your memo.

Speaking of absurdities, why should I write the memo if:

1) it makes me want to go jump off a canal or into a canal or at the very least go swimming,

2) I learn more about torts rather than how to write in legalese because I am creating a special formula to show the exact amount of damages I should receive given my pre-existing condition and susceptibility to emotional distress which has been so intentionally inflicted upon me over the past several weeks at this upstanding institution. Of course I can't help think about how I consented to this pain but if I didn't know what I was getting into is it an implied consent that is a legal fiction?,

3) I'm forced to think of Civ Pro and who am I going to sue, the professor or the author of the text and if I do sue the author, which one, Knapp, Crystal or Prince and where am I going to seek jurisdiction if the casebook was published in Austin, Boston, Chicago, New York and the Netherlands?

4) I'm forced to be negligent in writing the memo because a certain professor wants me to figure out what the learned and scholarly judge didn't realize before writing his insightful opinion and

5) I'm unable to seek relief under the Law Student's Immunity Doctrine because it only applies to those who study the law and I clearly haven't put much attention into that and

6) It causes me to testify against my own abilities in red, white and bold italics, on this blog, that one day will be used against me in a court of law and I will have no recourse because I clicked "I agree" .

Writing the memo seems like such a nice, relaxing treat about now.

Good morning.
