• I'm really, really sorry...

  I know I said I would get back to a more normal posting schedule after February 24th but, as you can see, that hasn't exactly happened. I put off blogging for a bit because my brain desperately needed a break. And I think it was well deserved considering I've pretty much been studying for bar exams since December 2009. I'm beyond burnt out. And after having my ass kicked and set afire by the California bar again, the last thing I wanted to do was think.

  Although my posts look like they'd been pulled together while I was sitting on the toilet, I actually have to put some brain power into them. So when I stopped thinking, it meant I also stopped blogging. But I think that's probably a good thing. I mean, look at the sh*t I come up with when I'm putting some thought into my work. Can you imagine how much worse my posts would be if I'd written them while my brain was on vacation? You'd probably end up taking a perpetual rape shower with boiling hot water and bleach.

  Anyway, I've been using my newly-acquired free time to catch up on all the things I had to put off while I was studying--like following the news.

  

  

  

  Seriously, how many times did you hear the name "Charlie Sheen" before he went crazy? Like, barely ever, right? But now you can't go five minutes without hearing about him!

  

  

  My getting "Two and a Half Men" confused with "Mad Men" isn't an exaggeration. First of all, I don't watch either shows, and secondly, before this all went down, I didn't even know "Two and a Half Men" was still on television. I thought it'd been cancelled after its first season. But now that Charlie Sheen's all over the freaking news--with coverage occasionally interrupted by updates about Libya and Wisconsin--I've learned that not only is the show still on the air, but it's insanely successful and has made him the highest paid actor on TV! And you know what else? I now watch "Two and a Half Men" whenever it's on--but only because I can't believe the healthy Charlie Sheen on the show is the same one whose homemade rehab regiment turned him into a swamp donkey.

  Speaking of television, I've been watching a lot of it lately. My TiVo recorded a bunch of stuff while I was busy, so when I wasn't getting caught up on current events, I was getting caught up on "Glee," "Justified," "RuPaul's Drag Race," Conan O'Brien's show, and whatever else was stored in the box. But I have to admit that I didn't make any progress. Why? Because I discovered a show called "Must Love Cats"!

  

  

  

  So not kidding: That's the only thing I've really been watching for the past few weeks.

  And of course, I've been playing video games. But I haven't touched "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood," "Final Fantasy XIII," or any of the other console games I put off because they consumed too much of my time. Instead, I've been devoted to app games like "Angry Birds" and "Hot Spring Story." I think "Angry Birds" should change its name to "Angry People" because that's what it turns its players into: frustrated, angry people who hate it when the only birds available are those damn toucans. That thing sucks more ass than the basic red bird--i.e., it doesn't just suck ass, it eats it!

  

  I'm really happy to say that since I've had 15 days to rest and recuperate, my brain is ready to think again, I am ready to blog again! Hooray!

  Thanks so much for waiting it out, you guys!

  More soon,

  Sylvia
