Two things forgotten.
Bowling probably begins next week...thank God. I need breaks from law school and hanging out with Mens F'ing Rea will do the trick. We hung out last Saturday and saw our new mascot, the uber-creepy Bowling lawn gnome. He will scare our opponents away. I feel bad for the 1L teams who have to face us this year, as they will be crushed by all our awesomeness. Oh and we won the title against enlightening strikes at Eastland Lanes Saturday, but we needed a one frame bowl-funny style bowl-off to do it.
Anybody who says they have no time or are too busy, I'm calling bullshit. Or at the very least I am saying if they are not a 2L in law school right now, they probably do not have nearly as many time committments as I have set up right now. Unless you are a law student like me (and the vast majority of you friends are), I don't want to hear you whine about your lack of time. You have enough time to sleep don't you? Well then you have more time than me.
That was a very Anonymous Laywer type of rant, and if you do not religiously read that blog you need to. Well since I probably ought to pay attention in tax class, I'm going to leave you now at the turn of the tide.

Sitting in Morgan's Class
I decided to take a break from poker today in Shipman's class and celebrate having OSU wireless internet again by making a blog entry. I hate having to go to the wireless help people and asking for help...especially since I did not figure it out by watching her today (she turned the screen away from me). Oh well at least I have internet, and I'll try to not eff up the computer again.
This weekend was interesting. You know how I said I hope Patrice my old landlord doesn't give us a bill because I cannot afford it...well it got worse. Kelley got into a car accident on Friday afternoon, busting up her precious Cavalier (the Cavie...) by rear-ending another very old Cavalier. Nobody was hurt. The guy had no insurance, suspended driver's license, and open beer containe rin the car, so they wrote Kelley up for following too closely because they could not let him go scot free with all that. That's $85 dollars. Her car damage appears to be all cosmetic, but the hood is bent at a 70-90 degree angle and her bumper is messed up and her headlights work but one is knocked out of its casing. no engine or side panel damage at all, so the repairs will be expensive but all cosmetic. Thank God she has full insurance, but she found out she has a $500 deductible. Just another showing of why insurance is one of the biggest ripoffs ever, but we all have to have it and it comes in handy sometimes. Add in a new set of tires her car needs badly and we are looking at $800 easy before it is fully drivable again. Patrice better not charge me, stupid b%&#@ of a landlord.
I put 52 cover letters, resumes, and transcripts in the mail Monday morning after spending a significant portion of my weekend putting those together. All to Texas and Chicago IP firms, all the ones I have not interviewed with already. Kind of a back up plan since I've already got 3 callbacks, but I started putting them together a couple weeks ago before moving and getting busy and forgetting all about these letters. I figure I have a better chance of landing a job with Fish and Richardson Dallas or Brinks Hofer Chicago (my first callbacks) than get a second interview with any of these 52, but it's the game we play. I still have no callbacks from OCI, which makes the patent program such a good deal. Got my $100 check from career services paying me back for that Chicago trip, so that's good. With firms paying all expenses for callback interviews and the suits freshly dry-cleaned, I think I have incurred the majority of expenses I will have to for interviewing season.
Kelley's chain has been yanked again by St. Luke's where she plays organ on the weekends. Her contract runs out 9/1/06, so they had not found anybody to replace her and were going to sign a new contract on Sunday. I go with her since she doesn't want to drive after her wreck and we have to go get a replacement car for her for now (Zach's tracker lol). We get to church on Sunday and are told the people who want Kelley fired had a huge stink because they found out one of the candidates that was turned away was not interviewed after finding out about his rough reputation wth other churches in the area. So now they have to interview him this week to calm this egotistical church-running family who spreads dissent to other church members tog et their way. Churches are scary my friends, not religion. I trust in Jesus and all and I love my pastor, but I refuse to attend that church unless I have to because of what this family has done to turn the congregation against my wife. Funny how when they need her she becomes great but when they think they've found someone else they find all her shortcomings (AKA not being an organ performance major). So there is Worship and Music committee meeting tonight Kelley is attending and she plans on forcing the issue since they have put her around the ringer. I'm pulling my hair out wanting to set up a budget for us so we know what we can spend and we know just how bad the car wreck hurts us financially, but I cannot because I have no idea what her income is. Frustrating!
The cincinnati reds, you write about how well they are doing and then since that entry, the Cardinals swept the Cubs and Cincy loses 4 in a row (3 to San Fran and last night to LA). It's so frustrating watching them play awful defense and give up tons of runs with 2 outs while never scoring with 2 outs themselves. The last 3 games against SF were a joke, as they got outscored 16-2 over 3 games and never made it close. This roadtrip has turned into a nightmare, but somehow they still have the wild card lead since the teams behind them are just bunching up close behind the Reds. 3.5 game deficit to the Caridnals now, and if they do not turn around this roadtrip soon we can forget about the division title...and probably the Wild Card too since I think the Cardinals will be easier to catch than whoever gets hot in the 6 teams behind us in the wild card race. So I keep watching, praying they will finally win again.
So I was planning on staying in Marietta till Monday this weekend to meet with Mom and get the truck in my name and get a new registration. Well Monday is Labor Day, so I called Mom and she told me to send her the title to the truck so she could go get a new title in my name this week so I can have it this weekend and get a new registration early next week. Well I couldn't find the title. Not in the glove compartment (but I did find everything else in there such as the odometer statement which is a part of the title, all my registrations and insurance cards since we've had the truck, and the sale order and receipt for the truck). Not in the tax paperwork box. Not in my lockbox where I keep important things. Not in my file cabinet. Hmmm. Where did the title go? Well I call her and she is all angry about something I can tell and she is upset she has to go on Wednesday and get a replacement title (at a big cost of 5 dollars, lol). She was pissed at her computer for messing up she said, and then she finally broke the real irritation. I told her and Steve I might sell them OSU tickets this season to help pay for my tickets. I sold my Cincinnati tickets for $105 apiece, so I offered her BGSU or Indiana tickets for $100 apiece. She accused me of gouging her and was asking how much they cost me ($30 apiece, but non-student tickets are $65) and why I was not giving her a better deal. Well I'm not going out of town and quite frankly I want to go to those games, so she is not buying my extra tickets...she is buying my tickets. I bet she feels like I'm screwing her since Kelley has a ticket with me now, but honestly the 2 tickets together are worth way more than when I had one ticket and got her into games on the cheap since one ticket is exponentially easier to get than 2. I pulled so many strings last year to get her into the Iowa game (crappy end zone seats top of the stadium) for $50-60 and her and Steve into the Northwestern game with my tickets while Kelley and I found tickets in the top row of the stadium (for about $100). So I do not think it is unreasonable to ask for $200 for the two tickets...and she disagrees. Well if she wants me to pull some strings and get them terrible law student tickets from my friends I could do it probably a little cheaper but she's going to have to ask. Sorry the free ride is over and my football tickets are paying for themselves. Is that unfair? I don't think so.
Well I've now blown off Morgan's class almost completely, so I better get off here so that my blogging buddy in here gets an update "before 250." Probably will not be on here again till the weekend, so look for 3 things.
1. OSU hosts Northern Illinois Saturday, GO BUCKS!
2. My first southerncollegesports.com article will go up Thursday.
3. My first callback interview Friday in Dallas. Wish me luck!

Weekends Rock...When they are 3 days long
Yes indeed, no Friday class means I'm out for the weekend on Thursday afternoons. Pretty sweet deal, even though App Ad will give me more than enough to do over the weekends. Oh and interviewing lol. Beazley appears to be the same after skimming her textbook as she was last year in legal writing...so h opefully I can get on the right foot again with her.
I'm really writing to say wow about my friends. I'm helping my best friend and best man on Monday set up for proposing to his girlfriend. This right on the heels of the only other non-married person in our small friend group proposing last week to his girl. My wedding is contagious! I'm happy for him though, so hopefully the dream evening goes as planned and I can help out as he wishes. Least I can do after all he did for me this year.
Got 7 interviews out of 17 signups in regular OCI. All of them from September 8 to September 14, and a couple I figur eI have a good chance with since I got a good repertoire with both firms as a 1L. Not that it matters all that much, as I really want the two firms I already have callbacks from.
The best news of the night was watching the Reds knock off the Giants in the first game of a 10 game west coast trip. Usually if we go on this long of a road trip out west while the Cardinals stay home for 9 games...I would say no brainer they gain ground. But the way the Cardinals have been playing the last two weeks (2-7 against teams other than Cincinnati), I do not know if that is the case. The win tonight tied up the Central division, and it gives us a chance to lead the division late in the year for the first time in ages. I so wish they make the playoffs so I can finally go see a playoff game (I refuse to go unless the Reds play). If we win the divison instead of the Wild Card which we have somehow held onto for 2 months, so much the better as we will not have to play the Mets in the first round. I'd much rather take my chances in the NLCS against them than right off the bat, and if the Cardinals were the wild card they might stand a good chance. Still a long time until the end of the season, but the last 1.5 months have not knocked us out so I finally have realistic hopes for the playoffs for the first time since 1995 (1999 technically, but that was a one-game playoff for the wild card against the Mets and we lost).
This weekend is the final one before college football. I cannot wait, and this means I can start writing again. My articles are the anchor of 6 writers (4 article writers) on southerncollegesports.com and my articles will go up on Thursdays if you want to read them.
I'm really writing to say wow about my friends. I'm helping my best friend and best man on Monday set up for proposing to his girlfriend. This right on the heels of the only other non-married person in our small friend group proposing last week to his girl. My wedding is contagious! I'm happy for him though, so hopefully the dream evening goes as planned and I can help out as he wishes. Least I can do after all he did for me this year.
Got 7 interviews out of 17 signups in regular OCI. All of them from September 8 to September 14, and a couple I figur eI have a good chance with since I got a good repertoire with both firms as a 1L. Not that it matters all that much, as I really want the two firms I already have callbacks from.
The best news of the night was watching the Reds knock off the Giants in the first game of a 10 game west coast trip. Usually if we go on this long of a road trip out west while the Cardinals stay home for 9 games...I would say no brainer they gain ground. But the way the Cardinals have been playing the last two weeks (2-7 against teams other than Cincinnati), I do not know if that is the case. The win tonight tied up the Central division, and it gives us a chance to lead the division late in the year for the first time in ages. I so wish they make the playoffs so I can finally go see a playoff game (I refuse to go unless the Reds play).

Landlords
So yesterday was the first day of classes, but before that I had a noon appointment with Tom and Heather to drop off keys and get the damage inspection from Patrice, our old landlord. For those who do not klnow, Patrice Vrsansky and her husband Tony run quite few apartments in the campus area and she manages them. She is a legalistic nagging irritating b$#@$ sometimes. Especially when it comes to moving out and moving in. Anyways, lived there two years and the first one was with Jon and Berens but this is the 2 year inspection so everything they messed up, Tom and Heather and I have to pay for too. Anyways I get there at 12:03 since I have not figured out the optimal time to leave Bexley yet. Apparently I wasn't worth waiting for as Patrice is already through the kitchen and most of the dining area. I'll save most of the details, but here are the highlights.
1. Why is there dirt in this refrigerator? Have you guys cleaned it? (Heather spent an hour and a half making it look like the best refrigerator I've ever seen)
2. A plastic piece broke off a glass light fixture in the kitchen and she wanted to replace the whole fixture, but apparently Tom told her to just replace the plastic piece and hopefully she will listen since the glass light cover is in perfect condition.
3. Have you guys cleaned the windowsills (after finding the only 2 we did not wipe down)?
4. Light bulbs...she's replacing about 10 of them that Tom and Heather did not replace or we did not replace in the common areas at 2 dollars apiece...better be damn good light bulbs.
5. Batteries...I replaced the batteries in the main floor and basement smoke detectors because I knew she would check and she did and found a dead battery in the upstairs one...sigh.
6. A window screen Jon took out of his bedroom window two years ago I tried to put back in but it was a pain in the ass and there was a wasp nest I did not want to disturb in the top of the screen setting. So I set the screen next to the window. Patrice comes in and says what's going on here...and pushes down on the screen which causes one side to bend violetly. "Oh this screen is bent, have to be replaced." Nice work b^%#$.
7. Who cleaned this bathroom (the upstairs one of Tom and Heather's)? Oh this plunger and toliet brush and outside floor mat are yours, I'll have to throw them away if you don't take them (since apparently the new tenants must provide their own plunger...so much for being nice). Oh the top of the bathroom faucet falls off, going to have to charge you for that. To which I reply I don't think so and pull out the lengthy list of broken stuff from 2 years agow hen we moved in and what do you know...that's on there.
8. This ceiling fan and light were brand new when you moved in and now the chain to turn the fan on and off is missing (probably cheaply pulled out by Jon or Berens in the first couple weeks we lived there and forgotten). Might have to replace the whole fixture. To which I respond, you better not even think about replacing the fixture for that chain.
9. She tries the outside light and finds it is burnt out, which of course like a few other fixtures in this apartment burns out light bulbs amazingly quickly. I tell her to have fun putting a fresh one in that since it will burn out in two days. She says well if the fixture is broken...I say oh no it's not, you cannot charge us for it since it will work when you put the bulb in, but the wiring will burn the bulb out and that is your problem.
10. And the king of them all, since the unclean oven (about 50 dollars) and all that other stuff including the last water bill might come out to $250...this carpet on the main floor is a mess. It will have to be totally replaced. It was new when you moved in, and this is not normal wear and tear. I completely disagree and think a steam cleaner would get out everything except for the oil stain in the dining room area which happened when Kelley and Tom and Heather and I had a fondue disaster this summer. Since this all was decided befor eI got there, Iw as asking questions to clarify what she was replacing and asked if she would replace the dining room only since the living room was fine. She says there are stains in the living room and it will have to be replaced too. I did not see the stains and think she is full of shit. Tom asks for an estimate on cost and she says something vague like "it cost thousands of dollars to carpet all these apartments 2 years ago..." I tell her what a piece of garbage the carpet has been in 2 years and recommend she tries a different brand, and she gets all defensive and says why would I attack her since the carpet is lower quality than residential and replacing it will be to our benefit since it is not really expensive high grade stuff. That has nothing to do with the fact that your carpet is crap...and she told us because we did not vacuum it every day that we were responsible for the crappiness. Whoever told her they vacuum the carpets every day is either OCD (obsessive compulsive) or lieing.
We had to go out for Applebee's lunch and a drink after that. So much for the deposit...now I just hope we don't have a bill for her precious new carpet. What a b%#$, but there's nothing I can do about it now. Patrice Vrsansky is not a good person to rent from, so BEWARE.
First day of classes was alright. Shipman is the usual, Samansky looks like he could be a real dick, and Lee seems awesome. Today I get to see Mesher for Patent law. Woot.

Classes Starting Means Summer Ending
For some reason while packing my backpack for tomorrow's first day of classes, I got that little tingle I have gotten every year for 18 years (I'm in the 18th grade...wow). The little excitement that tomorrow brings a new school year with fresh opportunities and a whole new set of classes and professors. So anyways...between the new apartment and being a newlywed and having a new school year, nothing is quite the same as it was a mere 3 months ago.
so I did my first day readings, and there are some constants. Shipman assigns readings like we've got nothing better to do all day than his class, but that is to be expected after Property was exactly the same. He reads a lot, so I guess he expects us to as well. I guess in the long run we learn more. Copyright was a terribly basic introduction about the justifications for why we protect written and other works. Yawn. The tip of the top was opening up the Federal Income Taxation books. You see there's the textbook which is probably 800 pages, and the SELECTED federal income tax code sections and regulations book which is 1900 pages long (out of about 12000 pages of the stuff in total on the books)...and as a bonus, a tax map which is a big wall sized complicated line chart showing how this all works. So the intorductory reading was 16 pages long. The first 2 pages are intorduction, page 3 is a basic tax problem where a married couple has a certain number of income and expenditures and etc...and they are jointly filing and we are supposed to use the tax code to find out what their gross income is, adjusted gross income, taxable income, tax owed, etc. They even tell you exactly what code sections to go to, and it still takes 11 pages to explain the answers. Then the last 2 pages is a 1040 form which summarizes the tax code and makes it useable for real people. So anyways before I even get into class I have concluded...it is obvious why America hates taxes and the IRS. NOBODY CAN UNDERSTAND IT ALL. This class should be crazy.
So I have Accounting for Lawyers and Federal Income Taxation. I pulled out the TI-92 tonight and put it in the backpack, because if there was ever a time in law school to use a super awesome calculator (OK really any calculator at all)...this would be it. So I'm busting out the 92 to enjoy a little math in law school. Let's look at my schedule again.
Tax - 4 days a week of math word problems
Accounting - 4 days a week of math problems
Copyright - 2 days a week of IP!
Patent - 2 days a week of good IP!
App Ad - Oh well, guess they cannot all be awesome.
At least if second year first semester is going to kill me, I should be happy with the subject material. So we begin tomorrow.

Well here we are at the end of the summer, and what do we have to show for it? Definitely some shiny new bling on my finger :-)
And for those waiting for pictures...sorry. But here's the only one I have and I'm using it as my computer background. If you want to see more then please let me know and I'll track down the disk and we can have a picture party! UPDATE: Go to facebook and see it...sorry guys blogger is not letting me upload pictures! I found a big file of photographer pictures on my computer and uploaded 42 decent ones there.
The interviewing process is long and tedious (as opposed to the interviews themselves which are short and sweet). After my last 2 interviews today, I will have had 27 in 16 days. Most of them on the Thursdays and Fridays in this 2 week span. So when I'm talking to other students and I say I do not know who else I am interviewing with today, they giggle because that sounds so absurd to them. But honestly, first interviews are all the same. Leave an impression, ask some general questions about the firm, and try to have a good conversation. Who cares what firm is on the other side of the table...just connect with the person. I am apparently sought after probably because of my IP background, so hopefully with most of these interviews going well I can get some callbacks and go to the firms. And yes, when there is one firm I am seeing all day I will know who it is and be able to talk about it. After 27 interviews, all I am going to remember about my first interview with Fish and Richardson (for example) is the people. Not what we talked about. Thankfully after these 2 more today I will be done with first interviews until OCI kicks up again September 6. Of course I have the callback to dallas on September 1, but this just means I can have more time to research that firm and prepare for that interview.
Stats on that job by the way: $2400 a week summer, $135000 starting associate salary. Location is perfect (Dallas). they are an IP firm. Hmmm...going to have to say if I get offered a job, probably going to take it unless another firm REALLY REALLY wows me off my feet. Now, just have to get the offer :-)
The honeymoon was great, as I'm sure you read my last entry (which I believe was all about that). Moving sucks as everyone knows, but man it is taking forever to get everything in the proper place when two people come together for the first time. At least I did not have anything for furniture, so we did not have to trash a lot of good furniture. We moved my stuff Thursday, got it where it was supposed to be Friday, moved Kelley Saturday, and have not completely caught up at all on her all week. But we do have a living room, kitchen, and study basically completed. Once the clothes get put away in our bedroom basically everything will be done except for downstairs (Kelley is making me a poker room for my birthday, so I'm not allowed to touch it till she is done). Then we can settle in since school starts next week and I'll be busier than usual again.
Journal Acc-Check was not all that bad, but it is time-consuming and boring. Lots of busy work, but it looks fantastic on the resume and since we all know law school is just a scam to get us all jobs, I'm loving journal :-) In all seriousness, we do have a great group of people and I think I fit in a lot better with this group than the people I saw on "main" journal. I call them "main" journal because that's what we do at JDR...we are very established and the official journal of the ABA in the dispute resolution field (Harvard has a journal too, but we are better). So we brag that we are the real main journal. Whatever...doesn't really matter what journal you do, they are all the same in the end I think. Just more prestige BS lol.
So Italy won the world cup, and all I have to say to that is the US was the only team to beat them (I know it was 1-1 and I know Italy scored on themselves, but if you cannot beat an obviously subpar team while a man up for the whole second half...it's a victory for the US). Woot. Germany took home third and since I was cheering for them, that was nice too.
OSU is preseason number 1 again, just like 2003 after they unexpectedly won the title in 2002. That year we had way more experience and went 11-2. Hopefully we only lose one at most this year, and it better not be to Michigan at home since I'd like Tressel to keep his job. the pressure is on as every week we will be target numero uno, especially after we knock off the defending national champs Texas in their own stadium (sound familiar Longhorn fans...). Anyways, we shall see how it goes but it is an exciting season to be a Buckeye I think. Add that to Acc-Checks, Classes, and Interviews and I just cannot wait for winter break already. Oh wait most people write their journal notes (35+ page paper) over winter break? Maybe I should look forward to the summer instead.
Man I cannot wait for August 31. What a great weekend...job interview with a dream firm in Dallas and fly back up in time to see the Buckeyes play their opener against Northern Illinois.
Time for lunch and get ready for another interview. Man I gotta get some work done...or not. Last weekend to relax before it gets crazy again, so I think Everson and I are going to chill tonight and then who knows what tomorrow. Have a good weekend everyone, and I'll see most of you readers at school on Tuesday.

Short Update
For the readers like Megan :-)
I am so busy moving into the new apartment and Acc-Checking, but I promise once internet comes to my new apartment I will update on the whole end of summer. It was crazy and now interviews are crazy (after tomorrow I will have had 27 first interviews in 16 days). Got my first callback today for a TEXAS IP FIRM! WOO-HOO!
Now I just have to not eff it up since it's like my dream job. No pressure lol.
In the words of Shipman the great...I will "stay cool"
The firm is blowing $900 to fly me down and put me up for a night...counting lunch and incidentals they might blow $1000 to interview me. Guess this is serious.
I'm so happy I could scream, but Panera is closing and I don't want to scare people on my way out. No internet sucks...talk to you all next week when classes come back to haunt us all.
