Song of the Day: Sylver - Half As Much
Site redesign, indeed! I actually started this with the intention of having it up for October, but then I got bored. At least it's still appropriate for November.
I have not yet mentioned here, but I did, amazingly, pass the Bar. I took my Oath of Office today, and I am still giddy from shaking an Ohio Supreme Court justice's hand. I figured it was not an appropriate time to screech, "I want to beeeeeee yooooooouuuuuuuuu!" Although if I was a state supreme court justice, I would not fancy sitting through that ceremony twice a year. It's like graduation all over again, but without the funny hats.
As sad as I am that my favorite month is over, November will be an excellent month. Because, you know, new Kylie and (old) U2.

Song of the Day: Natasha Bedingfield - Peace of Me
At the age of 24, you'd think I wouldn't ever have moments where I felt old. But "old moments" have been smacking me in the face a little too often lately; on the plane ride back from LA, there was an entire track team from a university. Trying to pass time while waiting to board, I cast an eye around at all the guys to see if there was a hot one. I looked, and looked, and looked, and realized with horror that everyone was too damn young to be hot. So then I thought that maybe I was mistaken and it was a high school track team, rather than a college one. But no, everyone's sweatshirts and bags clearly put that theory down. Siiiiiiiiiiiigh.
And then, last week, I had an appointment at OSU's speech and hearing clinic to have my ears and hearing aides checked up. The last time I had gone there was over three years ago, before moving to Chicago. Besides the audiologists, there were always groups of students who met with me as part of their program. I had never thought much about it before, but this time, I was suddenly older than all of them. I got this odd feeling, thinking that my doctors should not be younger than me, and furthermore, holy crap, with every passing year, more and more people who are younger than me are going to be doing things like treating me at the doctor's office.
Life is weird, yo.

Dear Jason Dohring,
I liked you better when you were Logan.

Song of the Day: Anshelle - Rewind Please
And so begins the first fall in almost forever that I'm not heading back to school.
A belated happy new year; I spent mine in Los Angeles, where I got to meet a lovely woman that I've known for a decade and never got the chance to meet in person before.
I got a newish book from a favorite author at the library, and opened it to find his autograph gracing the title page. Half of me wants to steal it, yelling at the library, "YOU HAVE ENOUGH BOOKS AS IT IS, YOU WON'T MISS THIS ONE." The other half is the half that's been too nerdy in the past to risk bad library karma when I've come across out-of-print books that I was just dying to own.
In other nerdy news, I'm just thrilled that the new TV season is starting tonight. As I've come across billboards and print ads for the shows during the past few weeks, I've felt like cheering, "Look! My friends are coming back!" The catalyst for my watching-too-much-TV (law school) might be over, but my favorite shows sure aren't (except, RIP Veronica Mars).
I really, really want to redesign this site and move everything over to Movable Type. I downloaded the MT files a year ago and they've sat on my hard drive collecting metaphorical dust. Part of it is that I've been away from this stuff for so long that I have nooo idea what to do anymore (I'm close to having to look up how to make text bold...okay, maybe I'm not that bad...). We'll see.

Song of the Day: Sugababes - About You Now
In my absence from blogging, I have joined a gym. It rather tickles me to be one of those people who says, "Oh, I went to the gym today." Today I took my very first yoga class, and by the end of the hour, I could touch my toes for the first time since my muscles decided to punish me for quitting dance classes.
Somehow, the last time I went to the library, every book I grabbed ended up being a moody, 700-page Victorian-era mystery. I have two left out of that batch, but am very Victorian-era-fatigued, so I went to the library again today looking for something new. On my wishlist: something funny, around 300 pages, and in the here-and-now. Only one of the five I checked out ended up actually fitting all three requirements, but at least they all seem to be very far from what I've been reading.
Have much to say on Vox but haven't felt like doing it yet.

Song of the Day: Karmacoda - If You and I (Where You Sleep)
It's always fun living with puppies, especially when they chew on everything. I just glanced over at the frenchie, who looked like he was chewing on the rug near the door. I let out an angry, "LUC!!" and he looked over at me with an expression that said, "Duh, it's my toy, bitch," and went back to chewing. And it was, indeed, one of his toys that matched the color of the rug. Put in my place by a dog who clearly has no appetite for my mistakes. Whoops.
