After a miserable first half, the Seahawks somehow stepped it up in the fourth quarter to pull out another uncomfortably close game against the Denver Broncos (@ Denver). Josh Brown came through again with a clutch 50 yard field goal as time expired. While the win was nice, Seattle’s offense is still not quite the…

Semi-Formal
Today was the law school semi-formal. Last year this was a good party and this year was no different. I had a great time! In an effort to make the whole thing a little more high schoolish, there was a nomination for formal king and queen. However, the top two vote-getters were to be the…
Apocalypto
On Thursday I saw Mel Gibson’s new movie Apocalypto in a pre-screening. I thought the movie was very entertaining, essentially a Gibsonesque film in a new and unique setting. Once the action started to roll, it was non-stop thrill until the end. The movie is nearly 2.5 hours long, but I was gripped by the…
Snow in Seattle!
AP Photo/John Froschauer Yup, after a month of non-stop rain and wind, the month of November is closing out with snow in Seattle. The rain has been so continuous, even by Seattle standards, that November has become the all-time wettest month on record at the Sea-Tac Airport weather station (since 1948). Now, it’s snow and…
The Pump
Check out this hilarious clip from the “Pumping Iron” movie about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bodybuilding on YouTube. I laugh every time I see it! Today I officially started studying for exams (as opposed to just doing the reading for the upcoming classes). I’m starting with Trademark (my last final) and I made some good progress today….
What? Are you kidding me?
There were a couple time today when I asked myself “What? Are you kidding me?” I was on a run this afternoon on the campus loop and some dude on a road bike comes up behind me shouting all kinds of profanity and telling me to go on to the other side of the street….
NFL Sunday
NFL Sunday is a great thing! Unfortunately, many of outcomes were not what I had hoped for this week. First, the Seahawks played horrible. It is tough to believe Shaun Alexander was an MVP last year – they are paying this guy million so dollars to get one yard per carry. I know, he’s coming…
Taper Center
Today I set out for a workout at Arrillaga Gym this evening to find that it had already closed. It’s supposed to be open until 8 pm on Saturdays, but it closed at 6 pm for some reason today. So, I went to the “law student only” gym at Taper Center. The equipment is old…
Presentation
Yesterday, Mark and I presented our research on the mountaintop coal mining cases. It was nice to share our findings with the class and I think the students learned a lot. I enjoyed doing it because I have become quite passionate about the issue while working on the project. Now it is time to finish…
Big Break Coming Up
A normal first couple days of the week with normal classes and normal reading. I am making some headway on my research paper on the mountaintop coal mining cases which is good. My partner and I present our topic to the class this Thursday which should be fun. I am excited for the Thanksgiving break…
