I am very uninterested in all things law. I care not for criminal law. The odd nuances between conspiracy and complicity are not intriguing me. They are boring me. They are causing my book to jump up in front of me and SLAM shut while I start browsing the Net for Fiona Apple downloads (and found them! and they're not as great (IMO) as everyone said they were!). Contracts? Same thing. Constitutional Law is still interesting, it's just so .... wooorrrrrddddyyy. I don't have it in me.

Tonight my Beloved went to volunteer at our local PBS television station, and therefore, I had no dinner. He's my cook. My chef. My nutritional planner. He was gone. So I took the girls to Target and Friendly's. Yes, I'm pathetic. I bought new sheets for my new bed, and new jeans for my ever-growing daughters (although, they were from GAP, not Target), and I bought ..... hmmm. I wanted a purse. B/c my coat pockets are forever bulging with the necessities of my days. Cell phone, iPod, Wallet, Bus Pass, miscellaneous change, keys, hair elastics, etc. My damned school bag is so big and full all the time that I don't want to engage in the HEAVE-HO required to move it from my back to my front in order to gain access to these items. So I wanted a purse. A little pocket-purse, to go over the OTHER shoulder and have all my stuff right there at my increasingly-ample hip. My needs, however, are not in style.

So I didn't buy a purse. Oh! I bought duct tape! And little nails to hang things with. Things like ... India-style fabric that I bought 3 years ago to hang on my walls in Berkeley, but moved across the country before I could find a way to fit it into my (non-existent) decorating scheme.

We took a Zipcar to Target. I love these things. We have like 13 in our neighborhood, not to mention the other 10+ in the areas that my Beloved and I spend our days (school and work). Because of my status as a pathetic no-money-earning student, I was able to join for a mere $25/year. Woo hoo! It's been great. Anyone in the D.C., Boston or N.Y. areas should check it out. I know that the S.F. Bay Area had something comparable ... City Car Share or something like that.

I think I will now go fold laundry, and then perhaps sleep. Or maybe I'll consider doing some actual reading for tomorrow's classes. Or sleep.
