phonics-only-based learning is not a completely wise idea, as well.

Don't you mean "fonix?"

Study for the LSAT!  I am mainly worried about waking up at 7:30, and that my analytical reasoning will be hampered by waking up when I usually go to bed.  If this test is at 8pm, I can puff a few bowls, get a nice dinner and be ready for it.  As is, I will wake up pot hungover and not really be too good at 8 am.  Whatever.

And that sucked.  Seeing the people there makes me want to be a lawyer less than anything ever could.  A bunch of joyless fucks.  No cigarettes for 5 hours (they don't let you go outside?  during break?!?).  You were allowed to bring a ziploc storage bag full of water, snacks, tissue, etc.  I was the only one without a bag.  Over half of the people there had more than 6 pencils on their desk? and a pencil sharpener?  I brought three pencils and myself.

There are more people like you than you might suspect.  However, just like everywhere else, you'll be in the minority.

if my friends who are in law school are any indication: some of those people are like you, but freaked out and overprepared for the LSAT.

hearing about the miner's families made me get all worked up. man, people are alright sometimes. I ate some dulce de leche last night (in celebration?) out of a can. Not as good as when my grandma makes it.

also: today, I freaked out, because I heard the president of Chile give a speech in English. I guess I just never thought about it, but I had never heard anyone with the same accent as my grandparents before.

Today, I am going to meet Jim Wetherbee.

I know in the past we've talked about all the famous folks y'all have met, and I think my best one was either Jerry Only (apologies to Wombat) or Ted Stevens (he lived next door for a long time).

Seriously, though - today I met a guy who has been to space. Six times.

Dulce de leche is figgin' fantastic. My mom's from (and right now visiting) Argentina. I've been near Chile, but I've only seen an airport and a view of it from Mt. Cathedral.

Yeah, me too. I'm always kind of annoyed at myself when I get like this (mainly because I think that if I can get worked up over something like this, I feel bad about not giving a fuck about enough things and things that are probably more important and farther reaching and not doing much to help out, and where does it end?), but that whole thing is just fuck*ng incredible. Blows my mind.

...freak out because my manager announced this morning that she is leaving our firm and going to a competitor, and therefore had to be out of the building within like two hours. She is probably the best manager I've ever had anywhere, and aside from one or two people I work with directly, the only thing that made my job tolerable. The interim manager is a really cool guy but it doesn't sound like he'll be in there for more than a couple weeks, and man, there are a lot of douches trying to get that job. On the other hand, it may be a good thing because I hate my job and am already trying to schedule an appointment with a recruiter and will be tightening up my resume tonight. Seriously, my job is going to get really shitty in a couple weeks I predict.

I'm sorta kinda helping running a lil' coup d'etat at the workplace and it's friggin' ace.

one of my facebook friends just posted a link to a flickr picture that August had tagged. Weird.

lesson of the day: throwing a bunch of random "asian" liquids in a pan does not make a stir-fry sauce.
I followed a thing online, and then when there wasn't enough I added random crap. Chinese cooking wine, sugar, rice vinegar, chili oil, lots of soy sauce, sriracha. wayyyy too vinegary tasting.

I have been doing a little resume writing of late, if you want me to take a gander. PM me for my email address.

I don't understand what the red and blue represent.

[theinevitable]

the "location"/hometown of the user who posted the pictures. Red is anything but STL, blue is STL.
