saving trees

the wild wind howling prevented me from falling asleep as quickly as desired last night. living on the 10th floor certainly has it’s advantages (ability to watch beautiful sunsets on a regular basis) but the wind thing was a total bummer. so i used the time as productively as possible by figuring out some of the as yet undiscovered features of my phone. turns out i can draw on this thing and compose music!!! freakin’ awesome.

and now its time for the drudgery that is legal research. with only two days left before i leave for home i have to do a load of research, and kill a bunch of trees and in the process destroy my eyesight some more. i think i wouldn’t mind legal research so much if i actually knew how to effectively use westlaw or lexis... but for now i stumble across things haphazardly and the free printing at school certainly doesn’t help me narrow things down and before i know it i’ve accumulated an impenetrable pile of cases, law review articles and stuff that i don’t know what to do with. if i were in the supreme court i think i would consider the option of limiting court decisions to 5 pages or something more manageable... at least it would go a long way in saving the world's forests.

but right now i’m meeting m for lunch which should be fun as always.
