caulking
Sometime between August of 2007 and today, the caulking of my tub got real gross. I don’t think it was a gradual progression, either. It was like puberty, where you woke up one morning and discovered underarm hair.
So naturally, the week before finals, I decided it was high time to recaulk it. Always on the look for a cheaters way out, I found caulk strips online. And though I SWEAR TO GOD...

kate gosselin
No one I know watches Dancing with the Stars, and that’s really unfortunate. Hear me out.
Despite the fact that she magically seemed to get worse every week, I’m really upset Kate Gosselin was voted off last night. That woman should never. dance. again. but that’s not the point. Watching Kate waltz and rumba every Tuesday has made me realize something important: life can always...
scholarship money
I received a Governor’s Scholarship from either AP tests or the CA standardized test my junior and senior year of high school and the money was placed into the GSP trust fund. I was initially awarded $3000 but it sadly depreciated to only about $650 (cry!). Since this is my last (!!!) year of school ever, I had to cash it in this year or I’d lose the money forever (the money is only...

badtz maru
Quantum meruit is the contract theory that a party should be compensated “for as much as he deserves.”
Meruit. Sounds like violet. Or Marriot.
Today in the courtroom, an attorney said “It was my firm’s services that acquired 25k for him. So under the theory of ‘quantum maroo,’ the money…”
‘Maroo’?!
By word association, I immediately...
roofing
You can have them. They can be lifted. You can hang them. There’s even a theory about them.
I’m talking, of course, about shingles.
Shingles have come up a lot recently in my life. Except the part about having them. I don’t have them. I swear.
They’re the focus of the hot docs I’m working on at the C* Law Firm. I’m studying the shingle theory in Securities...

Today at the C* Law Firm, an attorney spent 10 (TEN!) minutes explaining to me how to put 300 files in numerical order.
He then wasn’t satisfied with his explanation and insisted that I watch as he rearranged 3 files.
Watch, watch. See how this file goes from 15313 to 15398? This next one is 15399 to 15551. But this next one starts at 18001, so it’s not in order.
I learned to count...
why do you build me up, buttercup?
Day 2 of document review at the C* Law Firm. It’s dreadful, but it hasn’t been all terrible.
Last week, C* told us that despite its presence in the state, the UXJB* is actually quite unsophisticated and employees regularly send racist and racy emails to each other.
I was expecting some serious Tiger Woods sexting…
… but alas, the closest thing I’ve found so far...

Has anyone else seen this ad on Facebook?

vanilla for easter
I was stocking up on delicious delicious Pepsi Max at the self-checkout lane at Kroger when an elderly black man (55+) asked me how to use the scanner.
I walked him through the process but found it odd that he was only purchasing one item - vanilla extract - with a $100 bill. No one needs flavor syrup at 1 in the afternoon.
Research (Google) tells me that “[t]he 35-percent alcohol content...
syma
Hey Kaplan, if you want my business so much, I’d suggest avoiding such horrendous misspellings of my name.
Excuse the blurry BB pic. It reads “Syma” if you can’t tell.
Please also excuse the bear fighting off the mustache to cover up my address
and Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.
ke$ha knows how it's done
Three years ago, word on the street was that if you’re halfway intelligent, a firm will hire you and pay for your bar review…
… Then it became apparent that firms just weren’t being so generous anymore with their offers, let alone reimbursing a review course.
Two years ago, the word was that you can just find a clerk position during the school year and work your way to...
