Finally finished my alphabetical tour of my music library.

Here's the rest -

Queen - Greatest Hits (Disc 2)
Rilo Kiley - Under the Blacklight
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings - I Learned the Heart Way
Thomas Dybdahl - Stray Dogs
Under the Influence of Giants - Under the Influence of Giants
Volcano Choir - Unmap
Weezer - Pinkerton
The XX - The XX
Yeasayer - Odd Blood
Zero 7 - When It Falls

Maybe I'll try to not be so bad at soccer that I can't play in public. Had a fun study break with Chris earlier playing tennis court soccer. Maybe I'll eventually be able to play with people.

I really hope my computer doesn't crash during the bar because doing these essays by hand is so painful.

Also, we've recently discovered that Bruce really likes the song My Heart Will Go On. So random.

I feel like life during the bar is all about finding simple pleasures in life. One such example would the project I've undertaken this week of listening to an album by an artist in every letter of the alphabet. I'm on P right now.

So far I have:

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today
The Beatles - Revolver
The Civil Wars - Barton Hallow
The dodos - No Color
Elvis Costello - Brutal Youth
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
Grand Ole Party - Humanimals
Hermane Dune - Next Year in Zion
Imogen Heap - Speak for Yourself
Jeff Buckley - Grace
K'nann - Troubadour
Little Joy - Little Joy
M. Ward - Post War
The National - High Violet
ok go - Of the Blue Color of the Sky
Phantom Planet - Raise the Dead

My prediction for the rest:
Queen
Rufus Wainwright
Sondre Lerche
Tallest Man on Earth
U2
Volcano Choir
Wavves
XX
Yeasayer
Zero 7

But maybe I won't be that predictable...

Because I've been out of touch with news (other than soccer news), it took me listening to my weekly geek podcast to find out that the Brown v. EMA had come out. We were going to try to crash the recording of the podcast this week too. Would have been a good one to crash considering they discussed not only that case, but the jailbreaking exemption to the DMCA (I miss IP law so much).

In any case, reading the opinion right now. It's 92 pages, but I'm filing it under the Con Law tab of bar studying. :D

I assume this is a problem that is going to get worse as we approach the bar, but I've started to dream in fact patterns. It's driving me insane. I think IIED was involved in last night's dream. And false imprisonment.

Although well intentioned, this guy's spiel about all the people in these crazy scenarios who passed the bar exam is not encouraging me.

The problem with switching computers and what not is that you always lose a ton of music along the way. I've collected a pretty decent Elvis Costello library over the past (almost) ten years and yet I have only one album on my computer. What is up with that? How can I study without Elvis Costello? I will have to round up all those albums or something.

Among other things, also missing the second Bird and the Bee album *tear*


Edit: Scratch that. I found all of my Elvis Costello stuff. Crisis averted. 13 albums + a best of. I think I'm still missing one or two. I'd pat myself on the back if it wasn't for the fact that the man's released 30 studio albums. I'll catch them all one day.

Doing the Panic by Phantom Planet = the song of my summer.

One day into substantive lectures and there is one thing I know for sure-this is going to be one long and miserable summer.
