achoo. getchoo? no achoo.

I just saw someone wearing a Sister Hazel tshirt...mannnnn I don't fit in here. 90s rock not good. ever. in any situation that doesn't involve torture. The 80s on the other hand are an entirely different story...;) I did have someone ask me if I play the guitar today. I took that as a compliment = Or a blatent assumption from what I look like. I suppose I am just asking for it...? (love the escape clause question mark).

I somehow have gotten sick too. My head pounds with sinus congestion and I have a steady stream of yuck running down my nose through my throat and then into a tissue or my stomach depending on what i am armed with. Graphic? Yes, well thats how it feels and really, thats awesome be/c being sick during my first law school finals is the perfect combination. The best part of it all is when I was at work yesterday, feeling the sick coming on and working on a tedious but interesting project which I felt really pressed for time for, one of the attorneys asked if I was nervous about exams. I said, "well, yes but not paniced" and he relied, "well you should be. If you do poorly your first semester its hard to make it up." the other attorney chimes in and then says and DEMONSTRATES, "yeah, kinda like a cinder block being dropped in water...[raises arms in the air above his head and says] Wheeeeeeeeeeee....."

THANKS. Sniff. Cough. Bleh. I know i am sick be/c of the drastic change in weather -thats what always always happens...better move out of an area that geographically places it in a region that experiences all four seasons?

Cristiano Ronaldo...Angry. Trash Talker. Doesn't like people who arrive sans luggage. :)


I am definitely behind on my futbol news. I catch up per player - Zidane came in 5th (shame on you Euro Journalists) in the Euro player of the year award - Cannavaro took it and yeah, I can see that. I like that he's in his 30s, really.

Anyway, so I read some information on one of my favorite players, Cristiano Ronaldo. Some interesting trivia -

He handles anger like a child. Its funny and very reminiscent of a certain other individual I know who gets angry and hits things with boxing gloves and would probably stick a TV in a tree and try to kick it down too...thats right, Eduardo. I love it and yet...sort of hate it. Loose cannon.

He likes to trash talk and say things like "Chelsea purchasing Michael Ballack was pointless and they are no better." Those are fighting words. Such a spunky little player.

He has a stalker! Talk about being a full fledged star now - evidently a dutch girl connected with him in Holland and followed him back to the UK and asked around and (be/c its England? Or be/c people hate him and wnat to ruin his life?) people told her where he lived. She arrived and I guess security was called and he hasn't seen her since. Best part? His shock that she arrived "without any suitcases or anything." I love that. "'It was a Dutch girl who had come looking for me without any suitcases or anything and was going around asking people where I lived."

Had there been suitcases, maybe she'd have been let in, maybe not. Lol. Seriously, "no suitcases or anything!" Shakes head. Absurd. Who stalks cross nations without clean underwear? boo. I really don't understand stalkers, its so sad. I mean, I love the Zizou but I think that stalking is a bit much...too much time, too much expense...too much psycho. :)

Finally, there is a video game being made called Cristiano Ronaldo Underworld football or something. I saw a clip online - graphics look sorta lame and there isn't any vampire or werewolf action which, hello, when I read the world Underworld, I think vampire. Boo to that as well.

Alright! More fun futbol information later.

Too many choices.


I am one of those people who automatically thinks of the most illogical or impractical outcomes for situations that have about 1/one million odds of happening. Today while I was at the airport, there were two flights going to chicago in a row - i was on the second of the two flights. There were a few open seats on the first flight which were open to passengers without checked baggage. I belonged to that class but...but but but. This could be the scenario where I chose to go on the flight "i wasn't even supposed to be on" and it like, crashes. Or my flight crashes and I look back and say "wow, what if I hadn't been on this flight? What if I had taken the original flight?" blah blah blah. I don't know why I think this way. I eventually chose to stick with my original flight and sort of pretend I had never heard the offer to travel on an earlier flight. Also, at the last minute, a mother was barreling down the corridor with an older woman pushing a stroller behind her, which held a smaller child. In the mothers arms was a child who was literally hammocked - she had him held by his feet and the back of his shirt (honestly, seriously, the kid looked abused) and she was running down the corridor while he screamed bloody murder and she just kept screaming back "be quiet!" while he like shook back and forth, almost hitting his head on the floor. It was disturbing - the noise, the sight, the...fact that this person is raising two kids. I don't care what excuse she has, you aren't supposed to have kids if this is how you deal with them. Scary. So upon seeing that display and watching them board the first flight, I was pleased at my decision (or...non decision. Whatever).

Being home was fine. A little confusing I guess. And tiring. Its never really relaxing to go home all things considered. Esps this trip with the family drama. I am just glad I am back in Chicago. I did some torts work but not enough. I am going to finish my contracts outline tomorrow which is exciting. In addition, the warm weather is starting to freak me out. Even my father expressed his surprise at the high temps, commenting on how anyone who denies global warming is living in a dream world. Agreed.

It was really really nice to catch up with Lena - see her new place and talk for hours and really connect with someone on different topics that range in importance - from personal issues to memories of growing up to current problems in our lives to fashion. We also ventured to the Mall of America. I was sort of shook up after wards and felt really drained. I am not equipped for after Thanksgiving shopping in any sense. So many people. So many strollers. So many idiots. So much crap. I bought nothing but advised Lena on some items - funtimes. I miss her more though and I am glad she is reflective of the same feeling - we're just...very similar in many different ways and its reassuring but also lonely when I fly back to Chicago. I am already looking forward to seeing her during Christmas.

I really miss Eduardo right now. His geriatric filled trip in Naples seems to be going fine, but he did get yelled at by some old woman for turning up the pool too high. He says their skate park is great and he is now an official member, for $10 a year. I suppose skateboarding isn't really a big draw in Naples.

The only other issues....I read the Economist on the way home. Depressing information about Wall Street becoming weaker due to too many restrictions. Damn you Sarbanes Oxley (sp?). Damn you Enron. Damn you executives who just had to cheat big as opposed to cheat little to keep the US ahead of London. Yet...the NYSE is still bidding on the London market at an alarmingly low amount (like 5 bill or something which even to a layperson like me seems low). SNL said it best though "London is now the world's financial capital...get it terrorists? LONDON is now the world's financial capital" - I don't really agree with the undertone to that statement but I do enjoy SNL. Esps weekend update. I don't care with anyone says. I love Maya Rudolph. And Kristin Wig(g?). And Andy Samberg.

Time for bed. Sleeping alone. :(
