So high and then so low
I passed the bar!!! YAY! I don't have to do it again! I get promoted from "Graduate Legal Assistant" to "Staff Counsel." I get to sign my name "sobe_sf, Esq." I'm not over-the-top ecstatic because that's not my nature, but I'm very, very relieved and I'm happy ( Read more... ) -
Bangs Trauma
OMG: Sooooooooooo short. My bangs are up above my eyebrows. I should have shown the lady who's never cut my hair before a picture before I let her start cutting.
This is actually a halfway decent picture of my melon, but trust me, it looks a lot worse normally. This is as long as I could get my bangs with a flat iron. But if I don't flat iron ( Read more... ) -
Damned hormones
PMS is a bitch. And I should stay far, far away from funerals.
I have never watched an episode of Meet the Press. Not because I don't care about politics or news, but because I usually don't wake up on Sundays until those shows a long over. But I thought the Tim Russert tributes were really, really touching. Yesterday night, after a long day, ( Read more... ) -
Tech Talk
Twelve hundred fifty dollars. Two days. Two new pieces of consumer electronics.
I bought a new laptop yesterday night. I was hoping the old one would last forever, especially because my mom gave it to me for Christmas three and a half years ago (!) and because I just recently extended the warranty on it. But, no. It's getting old and starting ( Read more... ) -
OMG
I officially love Dr. Drew. Alright, so I loved him before this, but he's even more awesome than I had imagined. On a whim, I MySpace-messaged his account. I wrote that I was working on a bioethics paper on Celebrity Rehab. Honestly, I was expecting no response at all and I was fully prepared to write in my paper that I attempted to contact him ( Read more... ) -
The story of my life
Someone linked me to the Garfield Minus Garfield site, and, oh my God, I'm identifying far too much with crazy John Arbuckle.

If only I could find me a Floyd
In an attempt to find something to relieve my coughing and allow me to sleep, I cracked and bought a vaporizer for my bedroom. I plugged it in while wearing my plastic-framed glasses and unsexy pjs. And then it dawned on me that Liz Lemon/Tina Fey is my hero. Me and just about every other geeky/awkward fully-grown woman. I wish I was half as ( Read more... ) -
Mixed bag
I'm sick. Again. My immune system is so frickin' lame. Not just the sniffles, we're talking hacking coughs, sore throat, aches, head congestion and occasional puking. Stupid worthless flu shot. I'm such awful company when I'm sick. When I feel this bad, I make sure to let everyone know. (I attribute this to my Catholic suffering compulsion ( Read more... ) -
Happy Week
I'm actually having a really good week! It's so unusual for me to have good things to say about myself and my life. I'm actually trying to give up being self-loathing and self-deprecation for Lent. But this post is is about good stuff.
1) I had a really good job interview this Wednesday with the National Labor Relations Board. This is a job I ( Read more... ) -
I once was blind
I got my glasses today. I was worried that I made a rash decision last week, but no, I still love them. Totally worth it. Bonus: clear vision! My last pair was at least 5 years old.
