I really feel like listening to typing noises

i find the clicking of a keyboard oddly soothing. my favorite part of class, and this will show you how riveting i find class sometimes, is when the room is dead silent, then the professor says something important and 75 people all start typing at once. its such a beautiful sound i want to stand and clap and weep with joy! but i do not, because then everyone will thing im more crazy than i already am.

today has been a good day so far. I might be going to Chicago over break to visit Baron von Fishenstein, i dressed like a growed up today and i said something fairly intelligent in class today that prompted melissa to say that levine did not give me enough credit for it. which was nice, i needed the ego boost.

so this weekend - i basically lived at Don, Emily, and Eric's... DEE's, Brooklyn's, or some derivative thereof. I went over on thursday to watch the big game two, we found this sweet little bar on 5th and 6th in BK that had some super comfy chairs and a big screen tv and delicious beer (i drank Captain Lawrence the whole time I was there... and as a shout out to home, all I could think of was "Larry! I mean, Father Kessenich!"). Then i ended up sleeping over because it was soooo late. Then friday i went to class, bought a blonde wig, took a massive 5 hour nap, then went back to brooklyn and Eric made us dinner and I made banananananana bread. We also played copious amounts of Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Saturday found me staying in Brooklyn all day because of the heinous weather... and more ultimate alliance, broken up by an hour of Arrested Development, then GAME 3!! Sunday I went home. After Eric made french toast and i watched clueless. I had the full intention of not going back to brooklyn because I had to do a hella ton of work. However, I read my civil procedure work in about half the time i had alloted, so BACK TO THE BK for game 4. I brought torts to read and almost started crying about a bazillion times because of what we're reading, which i will describe... now

so in torts we're reading about wrongful birth, conception, and life cases. and I read this one case called Greco v United States in which a mother is suing a government hospital for a doctor failing to diagnose, in utero, her child as having a severe birth defect. The tenet of the case is that the mother would have aborted the child had she been told about the defect, and as such is suing for damages suffered as a cause of the pre-natal care, birth, and subsequent care of her broken baby. Essentially she is arguing that since there is no return policy on broken babies, someone should pay her to keep it. One of the biggest issues with a wrongful birth claim is that, essentially, the plaintiffs are trying to argue that the baby would have been better off not being born. The same goes with wrongful life - it is an action brought by a child who was born defective, because of a doctor's failure to diagnose a defect, that essentially argues that the child would have been better off not being born, that were it not for the negligence of the doctor's diagnoses, he or she would not exist. it was incredibly sad. wednesday we're talking about the case. i hope i can hold it together.

tuesday's coming, did you bring a jacket?

halloween is wednesday - i might be going to MOTHERFUCKER! which will be awesome. see previous posts for costume ideas.

i also got two songs with 5 stars on Hard on Guitar hero today. and i have a pretty bitchen legal memo written that is due tomorrow morning. im going to play some more gutar hero... then maybe go to be earlyish. or watch a mooooooooooooovie.

PS: Uh, yeah, go sox. i cant fucking believe i got to see two world series championships when some were not even lucky enough to get one. i wish i was going to see the parade tomorrow, along with papelbon's dancing and the murphy's playing for him, but alas, ill have to catch the pics and recaps on the Boston News channels internets.
