jerks. my professors that is. don't they SEE that i am disinterested in their fields of study? don't they SEE that i could care less about mortgage interest deductions and client conflicts? do they not see the boredom on my face? the stifled yawns? the obviousness of my internet surfing?

So why, then, WHY? do they keep assigning me reading? and then telling me that my row will be "on call" - and then, just for good measure, letting me know that because we are behind, from that day when some other row was "on call" and people were going off on ridiculous tangents about what some lawyer did during their great-aunt's sister's divorce, I am "on call" for a double reading.

I have to hand in an "outline" for my Comparative Law paper on Wednesday, so I can sit down with a classmate and have a "writing workshop." Ugh. Then, on Thursday, I have to have a meeting with my Appellate Advocacy professor to go over the draft brief I handed in last week, so I can find out what I have to do to make it into a final. I'm sure he'll say the words "more research" and perhaps "organize" maybe even "strengthen the writing." ha.

I brought home some Tax reading, which I believe is a first. Not sure I'll get to it, though. there are a couple of glasses of wine in the kitchen, and Heroes is on at 9.

Heroes sucks. I mean, the acting is atrocious, the special effects are deplorable, and the story line is super weak.

As if I care. It has nothing to with deductions and deferred taxes and questions about whether or not something is considered "income."

And then, at 10, Studio 60 is on. that show is better, but not so very COMPELLING. I mean, I'm glad it's on, and I like seeing that Chandler can be Not Chandler, and do it well. I really love Amanda Peet's character. But it isn't set up in a "I can't wait to find out what's gonna happen next! Will they stay together? Will he divorce his wife? Will his hand stop shaking? Will Izzy and Alex get together again, b/c he was, after all, so sweet when Denny died ...." and that kind of thing. Although not even Lost rises to that level anymore. Nothing does.

But it's not Tax. And I think that may be all that matters.
