i am approximately 1.5 pages from laying my delightful "l470: legal research" thesis for the business law department within the kelley school of business to rest FOREVER. i vowed to stay in my window seat at starbucks (in which position i may attain a slight signal from the university's wireless network and not have to pay tmobile for access that i could otherwise get five feet away) until this is finished, so i thought i'd take a mini-break and update you all on my progress.
over eighty citations, an (in my mind) insane number of pages given that i'm not (yet) a law student, and a beautiful title to start it all off: "defining actual injury under the federal trademark dilution act: the need for the reformation of §43 of the lanham act." at least, until i change my mind again.
do you think that the fun will all be over when it email it to my professor tonight? oh no, don't worry-- i'm putting the finishing touches on another one (that's even longer) for the business economics & public policy department.
still, i am enjoying my last week as an undergrad. although many of my friends might be at kilroy's right now, i will stay in and get these projects done, so i can finish strongly. but come next thursday at 9.15pm, you can bet there'll be a fabulous party!

fabulous news from my living-sensei martha stewart: according to the news this morning, she's signed a four-year deal to host a channel on sirius satellite radio, inc. featuring 24-hour content about "cooking, gardening and entertaining programming for women." while {la petite princesse} finds gardening perplexing (beyond growing tomatoes with mom in primary school and reaping the fruits of a wild strawberry plant in a true machiavellian fashion), i love the food network (especially shows by paula deen and giada de laurentiis) and likewise cuisine devoid of refined starches and non-splenda sugar. and if i didn't live here, i would cook more often. that is to say, at all.
anyways, what i'm trying to express is how useful and enjoyable martha's new channel is going to be. and if you're very lucky, perhaps in the future you'll be invited to a gardening/cooking/small-handmade-crafts-making party!

i'll admit that i have a slight obsession with anything nautical-themed. i love books about seafaring adventurers, anything navy, lakes, oceans, streams (sans leeches of course), and think a peg-leg might be kinda cool, if--through some extraordinary circumstance-- absolutely necessary. surprising that delta gamma's symbol is the anchor? i think not! evidence below:
and it gets better. this little problem might explain why i thought it acceptable to spend an entire paycheck on a sailor jacket from france over spring break.
generally speaking, i can't seem to understand which sorts of clothing choices are acceptable. this is also why i love jeans, trouser pants, and crew-neck tshirts. while at home, my sister danielle (dis)approves my outfits (i blame "colorblindness" where "bad taste" might be the true culprit), but at school, my roommates and friends are left to prevent me from social humiliation. a conversation with molly provides evidence:
cnconsta: i need your help w/deciding about a shirt-- can i wear a navy stripey shirt w/navy pants?
M1W4: hmmmm
M1W4: the little sailor one??
cnconsta: yeah
M1W4: NO
M1W4: haha
cnconsta: you sure?
M1W4: you might as well just throw on the cap and jacket as well, then
cnconsta: ok i get the point

one of my absolute favorite sites to peruse these days, la coquette, NAILS the, erm, delightfully special look that many of my university-age colleagues tend to drag overseas on their semesters abroad and spring holidays. coquette wisely writes:
|
so true, so true. one addition: wearest thou not a trucker hat, or i shall forsake thee.Everytime I pass one of these girls, I have the urge to grab her by the arms, like the imaginary illustrator in an old Donald Duck cartoon, and erase, oh, just ELEVEN of her layers. I know you, Study Abroad Girl. You are my kin. So it is with the greatest love and compassion that I say:
IF YOUR NAME BE NOT MARY KATE, WEAR YE NOT ALL THINE ACCESSORIES AT ONCE.
