When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

I avoid Kardasian news, but I'm hoping she pulls it off. Kudos to her for making it public partway through the process. I'd hate to be trying to do intense studying with the public so curious.

In less depressing national news: y'all! Beresheet is going to land on the moon today! Starting at 22:05 Israel time, live broadcast starts at 21:45, here: [link]

Edited: I will consider, in the future, the policy of posting words to the internet without sufficient amount of coffee in me, but not today.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I didn't know it was still possible to 'read for the law' -- when I researched it (in the pre-Internet era) I was told that you had to have a law degree to take the bar, and the days when you could apprentice as a law clerk were over. (But that may well have been Mass. only).

I'm surprised the pass rate is as high as 30% for the non-law-schoolers, but I suppose with a team of teachers it could be like a high-intensity bar course.

What Connie N. said about kudos for her.

Our wings are not tired.

Law was my original path prior to opening my business. I took all the paralegal courses and got that certificate. I considered it on and off through the years but don't think I have that level of brain anymore. I don't remember anymore what it was, but I do remember being very disappointed with my LSAT score. It was hard!

What is even happening?

Before and even during college, I had always thought I might go to law school one day. Then I took Business Law. I liked it and did well, but the prof was a young-ish lawyer, who told us what the life of a baby lawyer was like, and I knew I didn't have the stick-to-it-ive-ness required.

In other news, apparently it's my 10th Twitter anniversary. It's not really though. I first joined Twitter with another account in June 2007, when Jessica was going to use this weird, new, micro-blog thing while in labor.

We're all so grown up now, Buffistas.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

And now, for those who are still following: there is an official announcement that the final results of the Israeli elections will be published by April 17th. Yes, Netanyahu is and will still be the PM, and all in all things will look about the same, but there was an error in one of the programs that are doing the math and someone entered the wrong numbers somewhere in the process so they're doing a re-count of some polling stations (in addition to a recount of ~30 polling stations with really weird numbers in them). This is stressing for parties that are just around the threshold (3.25%) and their voters. It may also add or subtract a member of some parties.

With this happy note, I'm thrilled about my decision of having the Seder this year (April 19th) with friends.

I'm sorry, Shir. We have seen reports of voting issues reported here too. It can't help if people don't have confidence in their votes actually being counted on top of the disappointing results. Ugh. Yes, Seder with friends is a very good plan.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Slept until 10:15, bitches!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Woohoo!!
