Family law: Young Miss and the Skanks

April 12, 2010

Today 70-year-old Professor W decided to call out Jack (aka J.D. Baby):

Professor W: “Is Mr. Jack here? Mr. Jack? Ah yes. So the footnote on page 701 reminds me of you. Are you embarrassed?”
Jack: “I’m slightly embarrassed, Mam.”
Professor W: “Well the note reminds me of you.”
Jack: “Why is that Mam?”
Professor W: “Because the litigant calls everyone Mam, just like you do.”
Jack: “Well, in my defense Mam, I did offer to call you Young Miss.”
Professor W: “Why use two words when one will do?! Besides both are equally inappropriate.”

Breaks in Dinkytown

April 12, 2010

Dinkytown is still one of my favorite places to spend my breaks in between classes. Dinkytown is the University of Minnesota’s student village, and just far enough from school to not be infested with law students.

Dinkytown is home to most of UMN’s Fraternities and Sororities, including Gamma Eta Gamma, the law school fraternity. I lived in Dinkytown during my first semester of law school and love passing by my old haunts.

The Kitty Kat club is where the Twilight lesbian parties were held:

Still playing tourist

April 11, 2010

I have been in Minneapolis for two years now, but I still pull out my blackberry and snap pictures like a tourist.

The bullshit

This is what I have to deal with every time I want to sleep in:

A view of the city

April 7, 2010

One of my favorite things about the University of Minnesota is that downtown Minneapolis is visible on so much of campus, especially by the river.

BWE 11: So not slacking

April 6, 2010

Oh, I am a terrible hypocrite!

I encourage the 1Ls to blog, especially when they are busy. “The busy times are when it is most important to blog!” I say. “You’ll thank yourself for writing!”

So of course I don’t condescend to blog when I get busy. Do as I say, not as I do right? I feel like a governor…

Luckily the free-for-all that is “discussion time” in my family law class is the perfect time to blog! I am so not slacking at this…

So, what happened last week?

Well, the most exciting thing about last week was the heat! I think it got to 80 degrees one day, but maybe I’m exaggerating… maybe it was 90 degrees, or 100…

Regardless, it was warm, and the grass came out:

Recreational Fire

April 5, 2010

Pechman had a “recreational fire” at his house. His neighbors were unamused.

The dogs can wait

April 3, 2010

I gave some snark during the dog walk:
Mousy Girl: “Oh god, I can’t believe someone would just tie them up like that!”
Gawky boy: “Yeah, how pathetic and inhumane.”
Mousy Girl: “Too many bad dog owners in the neighborhood…”
Me (coming out of the cafe) : “They’ve been pissing for the past five miles, so they can wait five minutes while I pee for a chance.”

Shall we dance?

April 2, 2010

I feel like half the Salons in the neighborhood have the same cheesy “Shall we dance?” weave/wig ad on the front door:

Burger King’s nasty snack

April 1, 2010

Jill and I were in the company store rifling through the massive candy selection when we make a discovery: Burger King French toast flavored snacks!
Jill: “That’s vile. I’m going to buy a bag of that crap so we can try it.”
Jill and I brought the bag of toxic nast flavored-snacks back to the cubicles and forced Amber to partake in the taste test. The snacks taste like carmeled cheetos…which didn’t sit well with Jill and Amber:
