wait, what?

Just one of those days . . .

2006-12-05T20:47:00.000-05:00

What happened to me today:

Woke for no reason at 4:30am
Fitful sleep from then until 7:45
Went to gym where Ipod crapped out on me
Missed EO
Attempted to put windows on macbook, ended up missing TransNat while waiting for IT guy to help me and inevitably missed the deadline for downloading the exam software
Watched the law quad hawk eat a squirrel carcass for five minutes
Went home and took a nap
On the way back to the law school was hit by a car, thankfully was not physically hurt just a little shaken. Actually it was more of a slow moving tap, but still people.

what does all this mean? its definitely finals time.

epiphany

2006-11-26T00:34:00.000-05:00

so i was reading some old posts from this time last year, they seemed waaay more interesting and crazy. i realized that last year i was depressed and angry about law school and life at law school. now i must admit that i really like law school and life at law school. its true, i've become one of those annoying law students who are involved, smiling, relatively well adjusted, et. when did this happen? why did it happen? does this mean interesting blog posts are only available to the mentally unstable. i mean if its true for great art, why not blogs?

on another note i liked casino royale. daniel craig can be my bond any day:)

O-H! I-O!

2006-11-19T01:11:00.000-05:00

Yay! We're going to the national championship! Go Bucks! since i can't actually say any of this outloud to anyone here, I am proclaiming my love for Ohio State and the Buckeyes in the silence of the internet. Today was amazing, go bucks!!!!!!!!!

they don't know what's coming

2006-11-13T21:04:00.000-05:00

i thought this was hilarious when i read it. its from an email sent out to the student body at current school. people from old school should be entertained.

We know that it can be uncomfortable being in an opposing team's environment, especially when the stakes are so high. We would like to offer a few suggestions in order to help you stay safe and have a positive experience this weekend:

--Try carpooling to the game; if possible, drive a car with non- Michigan license plates.
--Keep your Michigan gear to a minimum, or wait until you are inside the stadium to display it.
--Stay with a group.
--Know and obey the laws regarding alcohol use.
--If you are of legal age to drink, use alcohol in moderation. Stay in the blue.
--Stay low-key; don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself.
--If verbally harrassed by opposing fans, don't take the bait.
--Avoid High Street in Columbus.

i can't believe you don't shut up!

2006-11-05T03:26:00.000-05:00

its 3 am and my undergrad neighbors are having a very loud sing along to the boyz II men hit "end of the road." they have been singing along for the past freaking half hour! there is nothing worse than drunk wannabe frat boys singing early nineties R&B when all you want to do is sleep.

i feel sick

2006-11-04T14:08:00.000-05:00

apparently raw cookie dough w/chocolate chips and m&ms, a hard boiled egg,a cup of black tea, and a cup of green tea is not the breakfast of champions. It is however, only about 200 calories.

it's the return of the mac

2006-10-30T12:14:00.000-05:00

the first computer i ever used was my parents old apple IIg. the screen was black and green, and i remember playing exciting games like ms. pac man and 1984 olympics on it with a lovely beige joystick. i was lucky in that there was not time in my life when my family didn't have a computer. i was unlucky in that my parents held on to that stupid computer until i was 12, when my rants about the need for something that ran microsoft word were answered with a shiny new dell. so began my affair with pcs. i had a vaio all through college and into the working world. however my job required me to use my mortal enemy, marv the candy colored imac. law school comes along and i join the masses by purchasing the now deceased thinkpad with the cool fingerprint sensor.

and now?

i have once again returned to the land of the apple. my new mac book is white and shiny and picks up internet sooo sooo much better than the stupid thinkpad. i love it. and i feel cool like that guy who is the mac in those mac ads, instead of the nerdy pc. pc users are nerds.

on another note, this what i have eaten today:
breakfast: a bowl of rice, kheema, dhal, and tea, strawberries
lunch: seven chips with salsa and cheese, a boiled egg, green tea, three bites of tiramasu flavored gelato, strawberries, one sweet tart
all that equals 1382 calories (about) - which leaves me like 200 calories for the rest of the day.

when i actually look at how and what i eat, i can see why many have accused me of having "stupid food logic"

EDIT: ok so i just worked out, probably burned around 200 calories, so that gives me 400 for the rest of the day

yes i am still alive

2006-10-13T18:48:00.000-05:00

i love the undergrads here. this is what happens when you allow students to take over crap.

stupid class, journal, callbacks, colombian overloards on my back, it all drags a girl down. however, starting next week i will be done w/class by 11am almost everyday, huzzah! and this weekend is my last callback. and i finally have a job offer so i won't be starving on a SFF grant, living on my friend's couch, and slowly becoming dead inside, huzzah! actually i'm going to a firm, so i will quickly become dead inside. huzzah?

on another note i came home for fall break. sadly my parents left me to go to some dinner party. its like that time i came home from college for the weekend and found a message letting me know that my parents decided to have a spontaneous getaway to NYC.

tylenol pm is super amazing. much like the following is super amazing:

dean hotties

two of them go to my school, yay michigan! i actually had one of them, although i only went to about three classes - 8am is way too early to deal w/civ pro.

oh and i guess this is pretty amazing too:

low income banking rules

water + laptop = bad news

2006-09-09T15:45:00.000-05:00

my beautiful T43 IBM thinkpad with fingerprint security has died. it put up a terrific fight against the monsoon i subjected it to, but sadly in the end all that is left is my sex and the city seasons on the hard drive and the empty shell that once housed them.

actually all my files are intact thankfully and now i have what is essentially a really really big flash drive. of course this is one of the reasons i haven't blogged. also class, job search, journal work, crack, et.

however the one bright spot in what is turning into a massive headache of semester is my free cable. my beautiful, wondrous free cable that allows me to keep up my charmed addiction(much worse for the mind than crack) and know the important news of the world, namely that Laura is still in the running for project runaway season 3 winner. but really, aren't they all winner?

GO BUCKEYES! BEAT TEXAS!

its started!

2006-08-25T17:06:00.000-05:00

first weekend back at my cool party state school and what am i doing on a warm friday night? sitting in the basement of the library and citechecking with no end in sight. law school - welcome back.

there really is a dawson's creek!

2006-08-21T17:31:00.000-05:00

aaahhh. just back from a lovely weekend in Chincoteague aka real life Capeside, on the Delmarva coast. If you don't know what that is, you're ugly. just kidding. knowing what Delmarva is doesn't affect whether or not you're ugly.

The De(laware)mar(yland)v(irgini)a coast is gorgeous. I love Atlantic beaches for swimming and laying about b/c the ocean is warmer than the pacific and less turbulent. Also the sand tends to be finer. I visited the fair one and just relaxed and ate many fried sea creatures served on tables covered with brown paper.

Of course now i cower in the computer room, worried b/c my mother is coming soon and i will have to face her anger and dissapointment over the increase in pigmentation in my skin. but i will be brave and rush upstairs and find the "fairest and lovliest" paki face powder i can and smear it all over my face so she hopefully doesn't notice. good plan natasha, good plan.

my life so far. . .

2006-08-14T21:33:00.000-05:00

1. i went to the ohio state fair. you can't grow up in a midwestern state without attending at least one state fair. and now i have. i spent time near barnyard animals and ate many many fried things - of course my body is still trying to digest these many fried things. however one has not lived until they have had bisquick fried oreos and cheese on a stick.

2. i got out of my speeding ticket, hurrah! yay for female lawyer solidarity. basically i told the prosecutor i was a law student, so she worked it so my case was dismissed! now i have to pay it forward and help young female lawyers in my future career as a kabob vendor in santa fe.

3. i bought a suit. black, banana republic, two button. it took less time than originally thought. however now i need shoes. i want these cute 3 1/2 inch black heels with gray strips of leather criss-crossing at the toe. is that appropriate? all the other black shoes are ugly and boring. pwah! (sound of spitting written out).

4. oh god why haven't i picked an apt???? i was supposed to do that today. i just need to suck it up and decide if i should press for roomies or live on own. really its a choice between bathroom lifestyles. part of it is that getting a place means that i really am heading back to the school up north. not that i don't like law school, its just that i enjoy sitting on my ass and watching reruns of charmed more.

3a. crap, i forgot i need to hem the stupid suit. why is life so difficult, why??

Mayberry on Meth

2006-08-10T09:53:00.000-05:00

I have to go back to traffic court today. I recieved a ticket in this little hick town outside of Cinci which ordered me to attend "mayor's court" which is a room in their town hall/police station/discotheque/ice cream social building. Aside from every "govt" official being an ex-cop the place just gave off that creepy southern small town vibe. Cases that were heard while I was at the first sessinon of Mayor's Court:

1) man AND wife issued operator citations at same time. case was moved to the big city court!

2) boy destroyed 5000 in property while drunk. case brought down to pointless violation after urging of greasy small town lawyer.

3) man was cited for not having a valid license. man explained he didn't have valid ohio license at the time, apologized for only having valid north carolina license. apparently the cops in said small town think the only real license is an ohio license. case was dismissed

Why am i going back to the bi-monthly mayor's court? well aside from shits and giggles, my cop didn't show up. in any other place in this country this means i should win - in crazy bufu arlington hts it means the cop gets a "continuance." what?! he couldn't tear himself away from all those meth lab raids and now i have drag my ass back to deliverance country. lord i hate the popos, always trying to keep a sister down.

2006-07-28T14:13:00.000-05:00

so i've been trying to lose weight this summer for my brothers various wedding fetes. i didn't suceed as well as i would of liked. so after the final partay I ate some wedding cake and rice and even had fries and nachos. all the things that i avoided for soooo long. the thing is, even though my dieting should be over i still feel guilty for eating all the junk. i mean i still grab the sugar free jello and cookies when i'm at home. and i still won't eat after 7pm if i can help it. does dieting release endorphins, why is it so addicting. or have i created a pavlovian adverse response in myself to non diet friendly foods?

if so i'm kind of excited. yay to losing weight foreva! my next goal to shift from the higher end of acceptable weight for my age and height to the lower end. go me.

Desperate plea to those who read this blog

2006-07-13T20:50:00.000-05:00

Help! somehow i've been given the job of picking music for my brother's valima(wedding reception). if you know any good desi/bollywood songs that would be appropriate please leave a suggestion in the comments.

2006-06-10T09:28:00.000-05:00

last night i went to the farewell reception for my former headmaster. he was headmaster the entire 13 years i attended and had been with the school for some 30 years total which is impressive as the school is only about 40 years old.
he was nice, a good headmaster, but it was interesting hearing about what he was like as the young, cute teacher, then the cool older teacher and finally the headmaster. its always interesting to hear about how people were when you didn't know them, and i guess a person never stops changing, morphing into new versions of themselves.

i also thought about my school. i would be lying to say that my 13 years didn't scar me in ways that will always affect who i am, but in the years since i've left i've made peace with some of those scars and now see them more like beautiful imperfections that for better or worse, make me who you see me as.

oh and i work in a sitcome, let me give you a cast rundown

1) we've got the cool, sauve, harvard educated african american head lawyer/supervisor

2)there's the dorky, lanky, glasses wearing, but incredibly earnest and funny white second lawyer/supervisor guy

3) the tall, big female african american ex-offendor wise of the world, hilarious and politically incorrect legal assistant

4) the small, brunette, white female vegan/documentary filmaker who also works as a legal assistant and regales us with crazy peace corps stories

5) the heroine, a female white law clerk who had her first kid in high school, getting her law degree and a degree in life(tear)

6) the rest of the law clerks who round out the diversity quotient(including me, yea! go burgeoning south asian market)

7) the visiting lawyer from upstairs who cracks jokes and like to take photographs (aka the modern day neighbor character)

and my diet isn't working as well as i hoped, i think the never moving and always sitting around all day doesn't help. will try to walk for at least 15 minutes today. maybe. santa.

and end with a matrix

2006-05-25T18:47:00.000-05:00

yay law school year one is over. i know we all wait for next year with the anticipation of creepy single 40 year old guy harry potter fan waiting for pre-order day.

i finished the law review packet. it sucked more than any exam ever could. it was about selling organs. apparently my father the doctor thinks we should allow a free market for organs. with my "but what about the effects on lower income people" he responded "poor people are always getting the short end of the stick, here at least someone is benefitting." touche papa, touche.

i started work in the 'nasti. i work next door to federated, we can look over onto their employee porch and see the weird community building events they have. actually i really like the architecture around the area and 'nasti is surprisingly pretty.

my assignment is cool. i get to draft a cert petition. we're talking supremes baby! well 1% possibility of supremes, but its a start. lawyers do real work that actually affects peoples lives in very real ways, its kinda scary. wish still had lovely library job where falling asleep and out of chair was typical protocol. i mean, i don't really have time to post, check email, buy shoes, et at office. its not a real job, it requires actual thought and work!

weddings are slowly driving me insane(r).

ps. any michigander wedding crashers are welcome to the brother's valima, but all knowlegde of their actions will be disavowed much like mission impossible but with ludoo.

I didn't spend 6 years in evil medical school to be called Mr. thank you very much

2006-05-10T17:21:00.000-05:00

recap on natasha's life since last post

1. finished with 1L year, huzzah!
2. slowly regaining humanoid tendencies after nine months of anal retentive, know-it all, annoying, sad, loserish, law studentesque tendencies.
3. I went on a wedding cake tasting! i've plotted for years and finally i got to experincet the six cake types, six flavorings, and many icings. it was breathtaking
4. brother and fiance visited.
a) conversation ensued in which my brother attempted to regale me on the wonders of russian mp3 sites and fusion vietnamese cooking. quoting austin powers, i responded saying that "there is nothing sadder than an aging hipster." fiance then whispers to me, "that assumes he even made it to hipster level"
b) realized will spend carefree summer choosing indian inspired backdrops and making wedding favors of jordan almonds and rock candy.
5. am trying the south beach diet to get body in sari/surfing shape. will definitely be wearing sari at some pt. not sure about the surfing.

burns' slanted drilling

2006-04-30T20:57:00.000-05:00

in the who shot mr burns episode of the simpsons, the elementary school discovers oil and mr. burns than creates a slanted drilling company to take the oil. while funny and a good set up for the show, this was actually a violation of well stated property law. although resources like oil are fugitive in that if a common pool lies under two distinct tracts of property, both property owners have the right to extract as much as they want from the common pool, one cannot angle undergroud onto someone else's land to capture resources, assuming none of their land lies above the resource pool. this rule promets certianty, exclusivity, and fairness.

i hate you law school, you've reached into that holiest of treasured relics, the simpsons, and dirtied it with your unfunny logic and rules.

what i do instead of studying for con law

2006-04-29T19:56:00.000-05:00

natasha's brain feels fried. the campus smells really nice right now b/c of the all the flowering trees. i like nice smelling things. i had to go get caffeine. i just heard something in carrel i'm stitting at pop and fall to the ground, i hope that wasn't important. apparently i am contingent beneficiary on my brother's life insurance plan. i think that means if his fiance and their kids all die out i get the pay out. as my study group partner said "well here's hoping". i don't hope that, that would be very wrong. besides i have stock options. everyone, shop at Saks!

the other day i realized the i was studying the profession of choice for our ruling elite. it was kinda of shocking, and then i felt dirty. god i love caffeine, love it love it love it. i am all for legal addictive substances, like caffeine but not crack. crack is whack just ask whitney. i would totally do perscription pain killers though. mmmm percocet.

and for some reason the name fanny dooley came into my head in the shower. i feel like that must mean something to some reader of this blog.

oh and the best thing of all? the undergrads have officially left the building.

on the evils of civil procedure or as i like to call, stupid poo poo mean yucky class

2006-04-26T20:36:00.000-05:00

i recently had the most unfair, arbitrary, random exam of my life. the highlight of which were the 35 multiple choice questions we were not told were going to be on the exam. here's an example:

1. red makes purple*
a) true
b) true if you add blue to it
c) false unless you add blue to it
d) false unless it was a dark red which under a judges discretion will be taken as purple
e) b and d

yeah. . . oh and that was followed up by 25 short answer( "a paragraph or two will do") and two long essays. four hour exam - it took me an hour and a half just to get through(and poorly) the multiple choice questions. you do the math. unless you're a liberal arts students b/c that would be too hard and too mean to force you to do that. santa.

an open letter to the undergrads of the school up north

2006-04-22T18:53:00.000-05:00

SHUT UP! SHUT UP, SHUT UP,SHUT UP,SHUT UP! I can't believe you don't shut up!

look, i'm sure that one hour multiple choice final for your american folklore class really has you crapping in your pants with fright, but for the love of god shut off your damn cell phones, pick up you nonfat starbucks mocha latte and ipod, take your three chatty friends who "just stopped by to check up on you" and get your sweatpants with the word MICHIGAN stretched across the butt wearing ass the hell out of my library!

because I'd rather post than study for the exams that will determine my future

2006-04-20T18:28:00.000-05:00

so there are a lot of people here at the law school that claim to be lazy. the "oh i haven't worked out in three days, i'm so lazy" or the "i haven't finished reading our torts assignment" people. as someone who is truly lazy(and i have witnesses to back me up) these people are missing what being lazy really is.
lazy is a way to live your lifestyle. its not minor setback in plan for the day. heck i workout everyday almost and i'm still lazy. how does that work? well i workout (a) because its easy since the place is really close (b) all it entails is my legs being moved by an elliptical while i listen to my ipod and (c) you still get credit for making use of your time.
here's the thing, lazy people are not bored people, lazy people are not the ones who are behind in assignments, lazy people are the people who would rather lie down than sit down.

example of laziness: instead of climning into your lofted bed to sleep, you fall down asleep on a half inflated bean bag. you do this not once, or after a really long day, but for an extended period of time regardless of busy your day was(and it generally wasn't busy unless you count heading to blockbuster and the gyro place a major event)

another example: lying on the floor watching tv with, oh let's say, your roommate. your roomate tells you to change the channel. instead of picking up the remote and changing the channel, you roll your body just enough so the remote ends up being closer to your roomate than to you. it is now your roommates responsibility to change the channel.

aight time to study. pray for me.

are down with LPP? hell no not me!

2006-04-12T15:46:00.000-05:00

today was the last day of my umich law, required, pass/fail, legal practice program. huzzah! huzzah! huzzah!

no more motions, no more depositions, no mooooooooooorrrrrrreeeeeeee! (well at least until after finals and before work)

its nice to have something to feel happy and excited about, just a break from personal issues and finals blues.

august sunshine gave me an insanely heavy amount to civ pro work which i have now added to my bookshelf aka wall art. no actually the glannon's is really helpful, thank you! and thank you to cinnamon peeler for the earlier stuff! and thank you to bHuda for the earlier advice also!

now i have full ten minutes to relax, watch tv, re-zenify my existence, before trudging back to that den of misery, horror, and souls screaming in silent pain known as the library.

1984

2006-04-09T23:07:00.000-05:00

apparetnly quizzila thinks the above mentioned book best exemplifies me. "You are the classic warning against the threat of totalitarianism. To you, politics and philosophy are inseparable, auchtorities suck and the reality might not exist outside our imaginations" i bet its that last bit that got me.

i take offense, if anything this book is me.

ok its not. sigh. mmm bubble tea is yummy especially splenda turtle tea with tapioca bubbles. hmm why are the bubbles black if tapioca pudding is white? curious
hugh grant is such a cutie in two weeks notice. you can never have too much hugh grant. ok nine months sucked. sandra bullock is big time lawyer gal - though she went to harvard. harvard is stupid. your mom went to harvard. ok its not. sigh

ah hell the stupid two weeks notice end spech has me teary eyed. would that happen to a person who is 1984? i think not. i want more bubble tea.

go balls deep

2006-04-02T14:33:00.000-05:00

a frat is playing dodgeball on the law quad right now. did you read that? a FRAT is playing DODGEBALL on the QUAD.

normally this would be really exciting and i would be outside oogling the boys, but they seem less the lacrosse player type and more the engineering honorary type.

the real me?

2006-03-31T00:09:00.000-05:00

i have to rewrite a personal statement for a funding application. it was hard enough to write the first one. actually it wasn't that hard to write it, it was hard to get into the mood to write it. first you have to let go of the absurdity, randomness, and superficiality. then the humor in general. this takes an incredibly long time and much web surfing(and blog posting!). once that's done its time to temper the sarcasm. a wee little bit is alright, you still want to appear human, but not be declared "sarcastic." then comest the past. diggin deep down into the mines of my memory for something wistful, a little bittersweet and sad. its doens't have to be an event, just a feeling will do. once there the process becomes easy - the reasons for future events and excuses for past transgressions flow out, tied to the moment or feeling. and then you word check, edit what you can. you read the words that were your soul and you laugh a little. this brings back the sarcasm, the humor, the vapidness, the superficiality, and the carefree exterior that is you.

or is the real you the one hidden behind the layers, the protective coating of laughter and years of experience? are they both you? can you exist in two seeminly conflicting ways? even in this post "I" became "you", but where does that leave me?

adventures in procrastination #5481

2006-03-28T23:30:00.000-05:00

i should be writing an outline for my oral aguement, but instead lucky readers you get this delightful post

ب) dear lord, getting these stupid letters up took waaaaay too much time, you would lose the little respect you may have for me if you knew how long it took

پ) V from V for Vendetta, its the agent guy from the Matrix and the head elf from LOTR, that also took way to long for me to find out, simply b/c i forgot of the existence of that glorious time waster, imdb.com

Ф) i told my parents i will be cinci for the summer, which means i really will be in cinci for the summer:-( of course i be able to save my money so i can blow it on walk in humidors and fur coats:-)

Ц)am i the only person who still finds Hugh Grant hot?

Ч) i miss stalking. i would stalk people here, but its just too easy. go to (a) library or (b) library and ye shall find any proposed stalkee. where's the risk, the hard work, the adventure?

37) i gave up on the random language letters

38) i had a pony, but i never had any goldfish

the mid twenties really is old, isn't it?

2006-03-23T16:50:00.000-05:00

i pulled an all nighter last night, starting around 10pm and finising around 10am. in the old days one celebrated the end of an all nighter with a yummy breakfast run to bob evans or jack and bennys.
what happens now?
i turn in my paper, come back to my room, check my email, pass out until 3pm thereby missing all my classes, return some emails, and then post on my blog while i waste time until the dining hall opens.
basically i've become weak. WEAK! i can no longer handle one night w/out sleep let along a few days on simply a few hours of sleep. granted these days i have to do more with waking hours than just eating poke sticks and watching wesley snipes movies.

man i need another nap.

the french are genuises/ les francais sont genies

2006-03-15T00:25:00.000-05:00

when i first came back from France, i missed it like no other and entered a funk that happened to coincide with life at the bad apt, a horrible horrible winter, and an insane weight gain.

part of what i missed was the amazing food. not just the expected french fair, but even the grocery store staples.
check out this american favorite with a twist and i will not create more desire with showing actual french french cereals.

oh and the cheap grocery store chocolate, like we think of hershey's? its lindt, lindt chocolate. yeah.

man i need some chocolate, where did those darn girl scouts run off to with their delicious cookies? seriously, they must inject those things with heroine or something

i really shouldn't blog late at night

2006-03-08T23:08:00.000-05:00

see the below post, a product of five hours of class, two hour dance practice, and a 24 piece buffalo wing platter. mmm buffalo wings

buffalo wings at 1 am

2006-03-08T02:09:00.000-05:00

do you even begin to talk and then realize you don't what you are saying and its probably nonsensical dribble that isn't really how you feel about the issue at hand but its already been a decent amount of time and you're on a roll so you can't exactly stopp talking without that embarrising trailing off so instead you just keep talking and let the conversation snowball into some long winder diatribe on gender status and ethnic discrimination which you may or may not actually believe in but you think fits with the persona you have created for yourself and maybe if you didn't keep up with that persona there really wouldn't be anything to who you are and what you stand for and you yourself would actually the be the "construct" you are always going off on in these conversations that serve no purpose except to establish that whatever life you lead matters and isn't just a frivolous experiment and that leibniz was right and we are all just a bunch of like monads with everything determined because everything is the same and really why even bother with the grooming and displays of affections and critic approved reading music food travel that supposedly makes up a valid life?

or maybe if we all had ponies then everything would be fine.

the best day ever!

2006-02-21T18:03:00.000-05:00

today has been wonderful:-)

forget that i haven't been to civ pro in a week
forget the complete lack of work that has been done on my motion for summary judgment due this friday
forget that i have dance practice from 9-11 and that we only one have minute of the dance down
forget that its cold, i'm sick of the lawyers club food, i just got another parking ticket on top of the one i forgot to pay which means that an even more expensive ticket is on the way to my parents house and there is nothing i can do to stop it from reaching dayton,OH before i do

nothing will change the fact that today is the day that the scale at the umich athletic facility told me i weigh seven pounds less than i thought i did. huzzah! huzzah! huzzah!

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i got my haircut and the lady took off an inch more than i told her to, an inch! do you know how long that is in the desi girl hair measuring system?
now i have tweleve year old's haircut, as in it's the same cut i had when i was tweleve years old. do you wanna see a picture?

well i had a picture. and it was cute, with me holding one of my gay incestuous rabbits. may he rest in peace now. hmm, not feeling as upset about the hair anymore. . .

i lied, the post isn't about what i said. why did i lie? b/c i'm a liar.

today has been great. all my classes have been interrupted by the law school acapella group singing val-o-grams to professors and students, or in my section's case student(although she got two val-o-grams)
the best part is the seeing the horribly uncomfortable look on the recipeints face. embarrasment is funny.

so if you have valentines day plans for tonight, enjoy yourselves you ~~smug, annoying, irksome,~~ lucky people:-)

I will be happily feasting in the dining hall. i think its shepard's pie tonight!

this is why i have a film rant

2006-02-02T22:59:00.000-05:00

i just saw brokeback mountain and am now emotionally wrecked. oh and the direction - Ang Lee is genius (which we all knew from crouching tiger and sense and sensibility.) however, unlike crouching tiger, where the filming was about fluid movement, here it felt more like a series of beautiful, expansive photographs.
i'll give a little, there wasn't much to the actual story, and the dialogue was alright, oh but the acting and the visuals, my lord. i still feel like crying, i had to cut my workout short b/c i wasn't in a good place emotionally to work out!

i also realize that its been awhile since i have seen a piece of true cinematic art and am probably reacting to that period of starvation(sort of like when you're really hungry and food tastes better than normal)

EDIT: I tried to add an image from the movie, but i can't find any of my favorites, which should you let you know that not all of the really impressive images are in the trailer

2006-02-01T23:23:00.000-05:00

finally, something that ann arbor has that dc is sorely lacking in

a tale of two incidents (this post is very non funny)

2006-02-01T21:20:00.000-05:00

people at my law school have been talking about two things lately.

the first one is the one that apparently has been floating around the internet, becoming the lore of law school life.
see here
basically a kid in one section sent off this disrespectful email to a professor here b/c the prof hadn't turned in grades yet. the kid cc'd the dean of students and his entire section(which i believe also includes the professors for that section).

the second thing is very sad, a student here passed away recently. although no official statement has been made(to my knowledge) it appears to be a suicide. this student did not have any friends in the school(or at least that i am aware of). however the kid had a nickname and tales of his inclass behavior made its way through our first year class. he also had nickname that i'm not sure he knew about. i was walking with a friend and we were discussing this, my friend mentioned they didn't know the kid at all, i mentioned the nickname and my friend's face lit up with recognition

the email is generally talked about more. is it b/c more people know the email guy? is it b/c there isn't any guilt associated with discussing email guy? my guess is the latter. i know i feel guilty/bad/upset for laughing at the stories and using the nickname, without ever caring to talk to the kid. what's the appropriate amount of remorse/sadness for this? how sad/bad am i supposed to feel? what's right, what's proper, what's the rational human response? i don't have answers and i'm not looking for any either(at least not from you lovely readers). i'm just silently thinking outloud.

don't make me disqualify your motion

2006-01-26T22:46:00.000-05:00

i got my grades back today and they are not impressive. here's a rundown:
i was average in the class i thought i had a chance at above average
i was below average in the class i thought i might fail
i was above average in the class i stopped attending in november

substances that i believe would make writing this motion go faster, but which i would probably wuss out on taking:
speed
coke(as in cocain, not the beverage that saved the oval)
X

substances that i believe would help and, honestly, i might just take if they were available
ritalin
adderall
a glass of brandy(my aunt puts it in her trifle, seriously one serving is enough to make you verrrry satiated)

substances that i am actually taking to make this go faster
chocolate
tea
popcorn

clearly i will not be my most fit for sunshiney's wedding. also i miss talking to my mom as she is in india, but don't tell her. please, please don't tell her:-)

did anyone else realize that dave chappelle was in sleepless in seattle? weird.

EDIT: my bad. it was you've got mail, not sleepless

2006-01-18T23:28:00.000-05:00

oh my gosh, right now i have the BIGGEST craving for rice and mango pickle achar. weird you say? gross you say? clearly you forget this is the same girl who enjoys semi-sweet mousse au chocolat on top of slighty stale nacho cheese doritos.

mmm, mousse and doritos.

bleh, back at the school up north. i had class from 8 am till 9:30 pm. it reminded me of the time i thought night chem would be a great idea - until i had that lab from 6pm til 10pm and had to walk back home, alone, through what i affectionately like to call "the place where i was afraid of muggings and rapes." so feeling sorry for myself, after trudging back to my dorm, i turn on the tv and lo and behold i saw something that was truly sad.

on the plus side i'm feeling better about myself:-)

2005-12-19T19:36:00.000-05:00

i just realized i no longer want the life of a high school/college student. the idea of sitting around, going to the mall, talking on the phone, watching mindless tv, and going to class just no longer seems appealing. it was appealing at the beginning of the semester, but now i want something more. when the hell did this happen? stupid law school with all its talk of aspiring to great things and making a difference and having power bla bla bla. crap, i am getting old - mid twenties here i come.

i also just realized that i blog a lot when i'm supposed to be studying for a finals.

maybe i was a bit melodramatic with that last post

2005-12-17T15:01:00.000-05:00

i'm freeeeee! well not really, i still have my crim law take home exam, but it's a fake exam. part of me really feels that the appropirate manner of study would be to sit down and take in a law and order marathon (also known as regularly scheduled USA/Bravo/TNT programming).

musings on a life less ordinary

2005-12-14T22:48:00.000-05:00

studying for contracts is the most soul sucking experience of my life. all day these lyrics from sarah maclachlan have been running through my head:

The winter here’s cold, and bitter
It’s chilled us to the bone
We haven’t seen the sun for weeks
To long too far from home
I feel just like I’m sinking
And I claw for solid ground
I’m pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh darkness I feel like letting go

but then this made me feel better

i don't know how much more of this i can take. . .

2005-12-14T11:03:00.000-05:00

i'm in the union amer's. so far they've played an "ecclectic" mix of etta james, radiohead, britney spears circa 1999, red hot chili peppers californication, techno, and marvin gaye. i'm thinking this is weird and slightly schizo. than i realized its essentially like listening to the songs on my own ipod.

Baby, I'm so into you
You got that somethin, what can I do
Baby, you spin me around
The Earth is movin, but I can't feel the ground

Every time you look at me
My heart is jumpin, it's easy to see

You drive me crazy
I just cant sleep
Im so excited, I'm in too deep
Ohh...crazy, but it feels alright
Baby, thinkin of you keeps me up all night

Britney Spears "(You drive me) Crazy"
From the album ...Baby One More Time

well i had my first law school exam eva. it was torts. it wasn't too bad and now my back hurts. plus i have to go study some more for contracts. of course all i want to do is crawl into bed and watch tv. of course i always want to crawl into bed and watch tv. oh i love tv. love it so so much.

the library of our discontent

2005-12-12T12:41:00.000-05:00

so you know that girl in the library with the orange? the one who sits at a table in plain view, peeling her orange so that juice splatters across the area making the entire table gross and sticky. the one who makes the library reek of citrus and breaks the quiet with her noisy munching. the one who is blatantly eating an orange without a care for the other patrons and whom the library staff seem to let sit by, swimming in the juice of her orange while you get stopped by the freaking library gestapo for bringing a caribou coffee into the precious reading room that isn't in the "appropriate container" and there she is, sitting smugly, eating the stupid orange and you just want to run and up and grab the horrible orange fruit, throw it in the garbage, and yell - what the hell is wrong with you!!!!!!!

yeah, today that girl was me. and you know something, i don't even really like oranges. SUCKERS!

here's a hint, it's not Yes, Dear

2005-12-07T17:07:00.001-05:00

a certain CBS drama was filming at my school today. Seeing as we have, arguably, one of the prettiest campus buildings in the country it makes sense, good back drop and all. What's sad is that they're probably pretending its harvard. Stupid harvard.

A hunk of the supreme ct building frieze fell off yesterday. the article related that a group of kids from columbus ohio were on a school trip. a few of them tried to take a piece of the building, but were told they couldn't. i'm glad to see the spirit of taking broken off pieces from important buildings is still well and alive in the youth of columbus ohio. stand up to the fascists kids, take whatever piece of concrete, marble, granite, limistone you choose and hoist it proudly above your heads!

*i stole this from the law student who forwarded it on the listserv yesterday. sometimes i love the listserv. than i recieve 42 emails about whether something should be italicized or underlined and i am reminded why law students suck and i should of gotten a masters in art history

2005-11-23T12:55:00.000-05:00

i feel like i've been writing my stupid memo for stupid forever. well part of which is my fault for 1) playing dynomite/alchemy/bejeweled 2 on yahoo games 2) watching "just hitched"( it is such a great movie, ashton is such a great actor, i truly believed his tears when he stated his love for britney murphy after his dad told him what marriage really meant - it's the moments between the sill snapshots.)
3) eating left over sandwich 4) secretly dreaming of giving up this whole law thing and becoming an indian movie actress(must first get pretty, fit, learn to dance, learn urdu/hindi, and must stop laughing out loud at inane bollywood banter, yaar) 5) repeating my mantra "i am tiger woods" (remember that? it was way way back in the 1990's) 6) posting on my many blogs( i'm actually A3G. i'm not. hmm none of the one person who reads this blog will get the joke. sad internet law blog geek humor) 7) because its heaven. what was i talking about?

We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it

2005-11-16T21:22:00.000-05:00

Something happened to me today. Something strange and hard, paper cut quick and broadsword deep. I. . .lost. . .at trivial pursuit. It was a law school competition at bar put on by the women's law student association, and I lost. sigh.

In other bad news the bathroom in my dorm smells like pee. Why does it smell like pee, who knows? Grad students shouldn't have to put up with this.

I really want some pho. I know a place that has pho, but its far and probably closed and its cold and mostly I don't want to get up.

Ooh someone just got killed on lost! oh ok, it was the bad guy whose name was goodwin, ironic no?

I still really want some pho.

More email fun from the law school! apparently they want to make us meet the "others"

Come meet APA grad students who will be here longer than us and don’t get nearly as stressed over their dissertations as we get over memos

1. What are you planning on doing this Friday evening?

a) Read for class

b) Grade my students' papers

c) Catalog all of the research articles and book chapters I've
acquired, cross-referencing them by author, subject matter, and
methodology

d) Drink away my sorrows and openly question my decision to go
to grad school

e) Go to the APIA Caucus meeting from 5-7 in Haven Hall 3512

I was actually stressing over my memo when i got the email so i thought it appropriate to put up. for perspective my memo has to be 10 pgs. dissertation is probably more. also it made me think of that great simpson's quote - look at me, i'm a grad student. i'm 30 and made 500 dollars last year.

next time i will regale all with the tale of girl who lost her laptop and the 90 obnoxious emails from total strangers that followed.

Club Isna

2005-11-08T22:59:00.000-05:00

so i made up this naseeb account way way back in 2001(?). today i was alerted to a message in my box, curious i had to figure out my password and id - which was surprisingly hard. here is the oh so important message waiting for me:

Club_Isna

Club Isna--is something that is not posted on any ISNA affiliated brochure. Unofficially, Club ISNA just happens along side ISNA without fail. It's a gathering of swarms of young adults for the sole purpose of mingling and networking. Despite the sabotage attempts of some angry parents, this event continues to serve as an avenue for unity among the young muslim community of America.

All Naseebers are welcomed to join this village. However, this village is only intended for proponents of Club Isna. Any bashing or negative remarks will result in permanent suspension from this village.

no seriously, this was the message.

2 months down, 37 left to go

2005-10-31T22:54:00.000-05:00

is it really only november? i feel like i have been here forever. plus my floor is still hot and melted all my chocolate. its like the hot pipe revisted.

my parents visited on saturday. my mom brought me a pumpkin festooned with acorns, leaves, and these twig things. oh and food and chocolate. mmmm chocolate.

the amount of free food available at the law school has slowly been dwindling. of course this i don't mind b/c of the fasting(HA!). however i do hope the free food returns next week.

the other day my floormate said "you look thin!" she said it in this way to suggest that this was a bad thing like i had lost too much wait to quicky. is it bad that it made me feel good?

oooh, they're selling the whole sex and city series on dvd! hmm, too bad i ~~illegally downloaded~~ bought and uploaded season three yesterday.

can you ever really go back home? yes, and it is just as weird and uncomfortable as before

2005-10-17T15:19:00.000-05:00

last saturday was my five yr reunion for school. since my school was divided into an upper, middle, and lower schools and i was there for 13 yrs so i feel weird saying it was a high school reunion. but i digress.

starting conversations with people you used to see every freakin day but then did not talk to for five yrs is both comfortable and odd. a lot of people are doctors. one kid works for espn. one kid lives with the fam. there were also some lower classmen crashers, which would be not cool except that i liked many of the lower classmen better than my year people. one kids works for lexis-nexis, but would not give me a free ipod nano. loser.

on the bright side today we got our law school facebooks. i could finally confirm the name of a kid that i've been talking to for every single day of the past three weeks. score! hmm, a lot people went to yale. and grand valley state.

oh and i'm hungry. like a hungry, hungry, hippo.

iftari fun

2005-10-12T22:35:00.000-05:00

mmm, free iftar food is the best. i forgot that was the good thing about college(even though i am not in college i like to crash undergrad iftars, which is better than last year's crashing of undergrad iftars because at least now i am a student).

its too hot in my room. the floor is hot. i might as well be in siebert 508.

i need a nap. and a shower.

2005-10-06T21:14:00.000-05:00

i got called on in contracts today which was great. not only is it the class i understand the least, but i had done all of three pages of the reading the night before. however the kid next me actually answered for the first case. in that time i read the next three cases. the prof then proceded to call on me FOR THE NEXT THREE CASES! thankfully he moved onto the kid in front of me before i had to let him know "sorry i was too busy watching futurama to get to that case. i pass."

on a side note one my comments on a case got quite a large laugh from my peers. i think it was a good thing, i think. . .

Ramadan Mubarak y'all!

2005-10-05T17:37:00.000-05:00

Ah the fasting is upon us. Today I handed out free date cookies with the muslim law students. Well actually I stood behind this table and said "free cookie and pamphlet" to anyone walking by. Mmmm, lulu's mom's cookies were the best, as was pretty much anything the lady made (except for those squash thingies). Tonight I am hitting the free MLSA dinner in which they pay for you to eat at pizza inn. I think there might be more muslim students than I originally thought existed at the law school.

On a side note I had an excellent(in mr burns voice) time in chi-town with lala this past weekend. i got three pairs of shoes and ate a lot, what more can one want? oh for lala to post on her blog!

next time ho, lulu, cinnamon, sunshiney and whoever else should come.

on a side note i really miss dc. yes it tried to kill me on five(?) seperate occasions, but they always say you hurt the one you love!

what is going on???

2005-09-28T21:10:00.000-05:00

tom delay was indicted on a criminal charge. now we have a new house majority leader. the dems are going all crazy and look at the bad republicans. i can't help but feel that reason for the indictment isn't one that is limited to the grand old party. oh my jaded dc mind

the supreme court decides how many cases a year and anna nicole smith is one of the select few they pick?? the issue is kinda boring : when may federal courts hear claims that are also involved state probate proceedings, if probably necessary to figure out. oh i hope bobby trendy gets to testify( though i can't think of any reason his testimony would be relevant.)

who even knows what's going on on LOST

oh and i hate writing open memos. stupid legal work. i really should just open that dairy queen.

I can't believe it's already 4

2005-09-24T15:07:00.000-05:00

well there goes my evening. still have so much work to do. although it is for a pass fail class(legal writing/legal practice or at certain other schools "lawyering") it is actually work that i am enjoying huzzah! me no like theory, me like facts that must be put together. theory stupid stupid. does working at the deli count as a social activity?

2005-09-23T13:56:00.000-05:00

yesterday in class the prof asked a kid to remind us of the facts of the case. the kid was stumbling around, looking in his book, and then finally apologized to the professor saying that he had accidently erased his notes.
"just now?" said the prof with an incredulous smirk
"no last night. i was just that frustrated with the reading"
we all laughed, but wondered - joke or reality???

where have all the bloggers gone?

2005-09-19T15:52:00.000-05:00

why have so many of you readers stopped blogging?* don't you know it is the one bright spot in a long day of legal jargon and boring law students(no offense as i too am a boring law student.) its ok if you don't have anything really interesting to write about, that didn't stop me from posting a good three times a day last year or really posting at all this year. i urge you blog people keep posting, let me know the mundane detainls and idiotic events that make up you lives. for example:

today i spoke up in class only b/c i thought it would keep me awake and keep the class moving, not b/c i had anything of real value to say but i did get a "i think you're on the right track"

i had brunch last sunday and am planning to have brunch this sunday. so while i might not have any active friday/saturday night socialization at least i have brunch(like the sex and the city girls except they had the friday/saturday/wednesday socialization too)

i want a kitten. it can live in my drawer.

*well some of you still blog (ho, az)

2005-09-14T19:29:00.000-05:00

i've had class for literally a week or five days of actuall class. i have used up one highlighter. damn you statute of frauds!

oh and i've been publically booed twice now due to the fact that i went to osu.

2005-09-13T14:58:00.000-05:00

i met salman rushdie last night. and by met i mean i actually got eye contact when he signed my book (no dedication, just a signature). others merely got shiny bald spot contact.

can i get hell ya for Rehnquist, CJ?

2005-09-12T20:37:00.000-05:00

Score! We've reached that wondrous pinnacle of tort law, the case of Hustler Magazin v. Falwell or to those who might of heard it phrased another way, the People versus Larry Flynt. Rehnquist wrote the opinion. I think. Maybe. Well he wrote something according to this book.

1 week of law school down, about a bazillion to go

2005-09-12T15:51:00.000-05:00

so the first week of school felt like three months. as i told my cousin the other day, never never never go to law school. i hate working. and i hate curves where only 9 or 10 people out of 100 get As. of those ten only one will get a solid A. Ooooh I have been having dreams of getting my phD in Psychology. How many courses did i take in pyschology, 2, but i feel like phD studying isn't as brain numbing as law/med studying. and you get to subject undergrads to all sorts of fun experiments. plus you could make getting the phD your career as you will be so very old when its done and should just marry rich and have kids and a maid and why isn't it dinner im so hungy and have cleary decided to change the format of this blog post to stream of consciousness much like joyce though i don't if i ever read joyce however i did read wilde though but that wasn't steam of consciousness so much as gay subtext not that there's anything wrong with that. . .

2005-09-05T20:28:00.000-05:00

durr, i had written this post, it got lost and then i did some stuff so basically 30 minutes passed so that post is lost forever. forever and ever and ever. . . readers you should know it was the most amazing post in the history of the world and now you will never get to read it. so sad.

i know i should be studying but all i want to do is play on the internet. my brain is fried. i can' t wait for classes to start. i hate law. no i don't. i just want to be working right now. can i skip three years and just start working. right now i'm wearing my osu shirt in the library, no dirty looks so far. . .

did i mention my brain is fried. i like candy. and ponies. that fly and have sparkly tales and are named princess buttercup so they smell like buttercups. mmm buttercups.

law, the professional's professional degree

2005-08-31T18:51:00.000-05:00

day 2 of orientation

hmm so even the kid who went to trinity is like, you went to osu, i don't know much about the rivalry and mich football, but i know that's got to be bad.

on the plus side my dorm is larger than my former studio, know wait that's just sad. what's really sad is how long it took me to connect to the stupid server.ooh the new laptop is sweet, its fingerprint protected - soo alias. oh and everyone is way cooler than me and probably smarter, but do they come off as cocky, well yeah they actually do. my superpower is of no use among the other unreasonably confident!

on the really plus side i traded a notre dame ticket for another osu ticket(me loves my chinese friend who had no clue how much he could initially get for the ticket). does anyone want to go??? otherwise i promised i would give it back and then i would have to sell mine. but now i could take a friend, come on it would be fun, the two red shirted ones in the middle of the mich stands!!!! no you probably won't come as all of you are lame(and justifiably scared). and i can get more tickets, but they are currently going for $150 so i would need to be reimbursed. plus the validation fee.

What the hell? why am i getting blog spam. damn you blogger (shaking fist at computer). is there no way to remove it? i can't figure it out. someone tell me. please. i will let you play the ddrmax 2 for as long as you want. . .

2005-08-20T09:36:00.000-05:00

Oooh, Forbes came out with its best city for singles list. DC is #5. It's #2 for culture, #5 in coolness, but as I can attest to #28 for cost of living. I guess somethings are better in the midwest, such as housing and food prices. I could not believe how cheap milk was when I came back here. Good ole Columbus is on the list too!Unfortuantly I will now be a season behind, it was kinda of nice coming home, having people look at your clothes with interest and then three months later wearing the same exact stuff.

adventures in A squared

2005-08-16T14:34:00.000-05:00

so i went to Ann Arbor (or A squared as I guess the students who think they are being cute and edgy call it). its very, very campusy. lots of freshman roaming in packs, lots of michigan gear. i was wearing a free osu shirt, thankfully it was blue. people there don't like osu, or at least the outgoing michigan daily sports columnist doesn't. he said mean things, MEAN things. i ate at jimmy johns, which wasn't the crapfest i remember from my days in Siebert.

afterwards we drove in the glorious detroit suburbs so i could buy a wedding outfit at the sari palace. its bright green and fuschia which in normal society is what a teletubby type childrens character from australia would wear, but in dayton desi society is the height of sophistication. (sophistication meaning stealing the centerpieces and extra favors only after the bride and groom have left the hall).

so i got my mich football tickets in the mail. it says you have to get a validation sticker or have student id to use them. since my plan is to sell them and make money this is problematic. also blue and "maize"*cough dorks cough* are ugly colors together. just a note.

i've been listening to jesse mccartney's "beautiful soul" over and over on itunes. how could i possibly fork over the 99 cents? itunes gift certificate. all the crappy music i want, no guilt.

I don't want another pretty face/ I don't want just anyone to hold/ I don't want my love to go to waste/ I want you and your beautiful soul

dear lord its like a modern day shakespearean sonnet

writing from my parents brand spanking new pc is waaaay better than dealing with marv, my imac circa 1997. so i was actually able to post on xanga with ease, but i already planned on using this blog. . .

uh, its weird not being at work. plus my arms hurt, lifting boxes sux. on the plus side i am no longer living at the poverty level, woohoo! i bought a four dollar and lunch and i didn't care, didn't care i tell you. of course in a month i will be a struggling student, but until then viva quiznos and their five dollar sandwiches!

baby steps

i have figured out what i'm gonna do about my two blog predicament. xanga blog served its purpose, providing me with an outlet for my insanity and as happy place to share my exploits in the nation's capital. however once i become a buckeye in wolverine's clothing i will switch over full time to blogger. cause i will be all adult like and educated. no seriously.

to keep or not to keep

2005-05-06T10:14:00.000-05:00

still don't know if i want to keep this blog. on the one hand it seems easier for people to leave comments, but i like posting on xanga better. also xanga is full of young people while blogger is full of not so young people. i'm not 21. wesley.

the title - this is something i say, A LOT. basically when someone is talking i zone out, i come back and realize i may have missed something so i say "wait, what?" i also say this when i hear something incredulous or sad or happy or just anything.

the site address - i'm simpson's fan. i love milhouse. he said this once when recounting how bart tried to convince him he never had goldfish that were eaten by santa's little helper. "but why do i have the bowl bart, why do i have the bowl?" actually he probably said did i have, but whatev.

another blog you say?
