Chris and I went to the Pruneyard for lunch.

We were going to get tickets for one of the DBox (moving seat) showings of Harry Potter this weekend until we found out that 1) it was $21 and 2) it was in 3D. I think I'd actually shell out the money to see it in DBOX, but the 3D part is a deal breaker. I hate it.

Anyway, it was around noon and I saw a small line gathering in preparation for the midnight showing tonight. Made me miss those days. This line was pretty lame though. There were four people, none of which were dressed up in anything wizardy. I remember when we did the line for the 3rd one at the Spectrum, there were people who watching the first two movies and there was even a TV set up for people who brought Guitar Hero. Much more legit.

Also, I thought eating lunch would be a fun break until I remembered that the mall I was eating at was the setting for a Con Law case.

Almost there.

So I skipped out on a friendly the Quakes were playing yesterday against an EPL team. Figured it'd be a good idea since I spent the whole of the Philadephia game freaking out about the bar. I missed seeing one of our reserve goalies score a goal from his goal kick. How awesome is that?

Glad to see the video going viral and fun to smugly laugh at the haters whose comments were "shows how bad MLS is." Take that smelly EPL.

In other news, I opened up the results page for the Simulated MBE to see what to focus on in Real Property...turns out it's pretty much everything. Lot of help that was.

I want to be excited because in two week(ish), I'll be jetting off to Europe, but there's that whole bar thing to get over first. There's so much planning to do for Europe though. And a Rick Steves Eastern Europe book to relocate :(

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.
