First: I apologize to all whose comments I have failed to return. My connection has been bizarrely slow to load lately, and I think SG has also become slower with the new design, and as a result it is agonizingly painful to load people's pages to return comments. Also, I am a lazy good-for-nothing. But I will endeavor to get back to people this weekend,...

Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake.
People fascinate and terrify me. This isn't even close to the worst cake recipe I've found today.

"The addition of sauerkraut to this cocoa-based chocolate cake provides an attractive texture"
Agh! I *know* it could be worse (after all, the recipe doesn't call for mealworms) but still..

that's very scary.
I make a fantastic vegan chocolate zucchini cake, which might sound scary, but in reality is very good.

There is a dog trying to break down the door to my study.
It's not my dog, because this isn't my house. It's not really my study, either, even if I have buried the entire room in a snowdrift of BAR/BRI review books, homemade flashcards, and itty-bitty toy weights (which I use to wake myself up when the books and flashcards start putting me to...

Flatterer.

grab the extra skin on both sides of his neck and calmly, filmly, loudly say, "no," while looking directly into his eyes. hold him in this position until HE looks away.
then he will be totally submissive to you, and leave you alone whenever you say no in the future.

And now for a short break from my futile attempts to distill everything I need to memorize for the bar onto 500 flashcards or less, in which I explain why I chose to be archived, in case there are two or three of you out there in cyberspace who actually care.

Oh, well, yeah. I have a "job." It's sleeping that I don't have. Sleeping and friends.
Last night I had my first anxiety nightmare about the bar exam. I dreamed it was May 15 and that the bar exam was on May 30 and that, somehow, this meant I had only 20 days left to prepare for IMPENDING DOOM.
This is vaguely disturbing, not so much because I'm phenomenally bad at math in my dreams (that part's much too predictable to...

my theory is that his foot got stuck first and he flailed and got all kinds of stuck.

Interesting turn of events. 
Good luck with the Bar Exam.

Today in Spam Mail Subject Lines:
"Her astonishment when she sees your new dick will be almost as large as your penis!"
"Your life... in pipe metal!"
I do not know what the pitch would have been, since I didn't open either one. Curiosity doesn't go quite that far.

Hey there, welcome back!
Your spam is a lot more coherent than mine. Although I kind of liked the subject line of one I got today: Celery Drool. What could they possibly have been selling?

hark, is the my friend the legal eagle in training returned to SG in another incarnation? 
This morning I emailed one of the law school deans to confirm that I will not officially be attending my own graduation. I didn't give an excuse, because I don't really have one.
Unofficially, I plan to be there, sitting in the spectator rows with my family and watching my classmates pick up their diplomas. I'll drop by the office to pick up my own...

Good to see you too. I was quite distressed when I finally got to the point where I could access SG again, only to discover that you (and several other people) had faded away. I'm supposing there might have been some sort of explanation made back when it happened, but being gone I never got to see it.
At any rate, nice to know I once again have someone to turn to for legal and life advice.

I thought there was something familar about this name.
Today on the way back from a failed attempt at work I passed a vanity plate reading LEZ COCK and a red-headed Jesus trying to exorcise a white Beetle that had run into a ditch.

Happy belated Birthday, Kid.
It is easy to forget the irrational reactions some people have to some animals when we don't share them. Oh well. You surely didn't need to work for any rat-hating jerk anyway, right?
Yet another occasion for lamenting the dearth of job openings in the field of supervillainy.
