It's gonna be alright

My boss gave me an interesting research and writing assignment, and I've been geeking-out over it ever since. Even though I don't want to spend the rest of my life practicing in this particular field of law, I love the problem-solving aspect of the project, which is universal to every law practice.

Two and a half years into my legal education, a mountain of debt equivalent to the GDP of a small Chinese province, and I'm finally feeling like I'll actually enjoy being a lawyer.

Thank God. I was beginning to panic.

The Daily Special 8.4.09

• I was so excited about this last week and I'm still excited. Twenty-six episodes of She-Ra are now available on Hulu! Someone promised me a BattleCat, and I'm going to make them deliver.

• I don't know what everyone's so sad about, but the tally of Americans on anti-depression meds has shot up to nearly 27 million.

• People are up in arms about Pres. Obama being portrayed as The Joker, saying it's "mean-spirited," but no one fussed when Drew Friedman did it to Pres. Bush. Perhaps it's the exhaustion after the effort spent on that self-righteous indignation that's got people so down.

• In my personal opinion, former Pres. Bill Clinton has done more good out of office than he ever did in. So, I was happy to see that he's going to try to charm the North Korean government into releasing journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling. Godspeed, sir!

• I keep forgetting one or two at the end of this game.
