10 Bar Review Observations Through Week 5

1. Thought I was great at Contract Law for three years of law school -- now thoroughly disillusioned.


2. Rescue Me, Wednesday's at 10:00pm on FX. Clearly one of the best written shows on TV. I recommend buying the box sets of the first three seasons or, as the yougin's like to say, "putting it in your queue."


3. Purchased a pair of 40LBS dumbells from Sports Authority -- now thoroughly disillusioned.


4. Curious that I have yet to feel any sense of panic regarding my impending doom.


5. Surprised to find that even though they dispatched my beloved Denver Nuggets in just five games, I still found myself rooting for the San Antonio Spurs against the Cavs.


6. Amazed that a failing grade will get you a PASS on the California Bar Exam.


7. Humbled by the fact that half the exam-takers in the state don't manage to get a high enough failing grade.


8. Discovered that after a few days of not washing dishes, mugs that once contained "Milk Chocolate"-flavored Carnation Instant Breakfast mysteriously smell like peppermint.


9. Wondered if I've now jinxed myself by mentioning #6.


10. Contra #4, now feeling a slight sense of panic regarding this whole jinxing business.
