Screaming Bean |

Perhaps it's because I'm ill, perhaps because it is Tuesday but I feel the need to make some comments about other blogs. And no, they're not going to be snarky. First: Jeremy, the TiVo is truly a wonder and a joy. My only complaint about it is that TV Guide, the people who control what the shows are named on the guide should be shot. Do not call everything on Speed "Auto Racing." Also, if you absolutely want to make sure you have all of a show you're dying to see, make sure you add time to the beginning and end of the recordings. Some channels are not sync'd to the TiVo clock and as a result ends of shows do get cut off. Second: Larry, that letter is a scream. Sadly you are not the only school where this has become an issue. Here, we have a couple who takes upon themselves to maul each other everywhere and anywhere. In the middle of the library? Sure! In the front lobby? Yeah! Luckily, no one I know has found them "in the clutch" as yet, but I'm sure it's a matter of time. Third: Falconred (by way of AI), I should be the last one giving advice about whether or not to choose to go to law school, but I had a conversation about this very subject over the weekend. The conclusion is this...while some of us may actually enjoy the process, revel in the intricacies of legal theory and logic, there are many of us who see this as a means to an end. I have questioned myself many times over about whether this was an appropriate choice for me. It has come down to this: Will you regret it if you never tried? Will it fulfill a need to stretch your brain or even something more primal than that? I can actually answer yes to both of these. My reasons for being here are deep seated to me and perhaps shallow to some, but I'm here. Many people would give anything to do what I'm doing. And even if I don't choose to practice when I come out, I'll have an education that I'm proud of. I suppose that's all you can ask for.
