Just had my last property and torts classes. Oh Lawman, I thought of another property case I like. There's a California case which said if a regular attorney screwed up the rule against perspicuity (a complicated rule about dividing up property when you die), they couldn't be found guilty of malpractice because no regular attorney should be able to do it.

Sounds about right. The law takes very strange turns on the Left Coast (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Some weird variant of the Rule against Perpetuities? Actually that may be what you meant? I love the Rule Against Perpetuities--it is always fun trying to explain it to clients when they ask why the saving language against said rule is included in his or her Will or Trust. Usually, they eventually just shake their heads.

so I'm responding to a bawbie post from the Cave. Don't worry, nothing cave-y just him saying something I said made him think I'd be an awesome mom (hey thanks!) and I wanted to respond here instead of caveland


So yesterday there was some family dramz - long story short my youngest bro (22) left the farm, got a job and moved in (please God temporarily) with his much younger GF and her mom until he can get an apt. Other than the current living situation, I think this is great for him. Because my family is being dicks about this and also never gave any of us "the talk". I'm like, someone has to adult here. So since he and I have always been better buds with each other than our other siblings, I start texting. Just asking about the job and you know, acting like a normal person would when someone moves out and starts their own life. He eventually asked how mad family seemed when mom told me and we had a good chat about that. He actually said he wanted to be like me and not the two sibs who have more or less had things spoon fed to them and still depend heavily on my parents. I feel so proud that even though we don't see each other much, he still sees me as the example of where he wants to get too. Might get a lil tear here.

But of course I am supremely concerned about the living situation so I finally text that hey you need to be smart about things right now cause diapers are expensive and was like you can buy things at places if you need them. My text was a bit more direct, obviously. His response lowered my concerns a bit but I'm like you know you can always talk to me.

So last night I was telling this to DH and I'm like DH, I had a conversation with my baby brother about safe sex. Holy crap, I think I'm ready to be a parent!


Haha, so before certain people assume, no I am not pregnant but that's just one of those conversations I imagined having to do in the future and didn't expect to come up now. I really did feel like the only mature, rational person in the situation yesterday. I was very proud of myself. Told DH I wanted two gold stars and all I got was a thumbs up from him.

Well now your up to 7 thumbs up.
 
Vikings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big thumbs up for the first 30 minutes of the season 4 finale. Includes one big "Well, I didn't see that coming!"

Jcyclonee and I should probably podcast from First Avenue tonight. First Ave is doing an all night dance party starting at 11:00. 18 and over, no admission. That won't get too weird or anything.
Have you seen the videos from outside First Ave? Packed already and the party doesn't start until 11:00.
 
Academic Letter award ceremony tonight. There were 8 Olsons and 15 Johnsons (including stupid boyfriend... OK, he's not stupid and he was very nice to talk to tonight) listed, just as there should be in Minnesota.

Thanks for the invite. Although to be honest I would probably make it weird, even for a Prince thing.
 
Boxster & JC, Arob, Velo, rest of TC peeps. Have fun at the 1st Ave. Party tonight.

Picked up bicycle today, looking forward to getting bike season started.

So does CG tweet during kickball Pants?
 
Pants, you're spoiling my party!


kickball update!

First game of the season and first time playing spring. Two fall seasons our first games have been 0-16 and like 0-10 I think. So tonight we started a bit rusty but not too shabby. I fouled out my first up after trash talking DH who kicks before me. That was probably karma. Next kick I had a loaded count and got a nice kick to the left side. Safe at first. Next guy got me to third and then I ran home yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Third time up I was barely out at first, had to race the ball.

We won 7-4 so much improved!

and WDSM had his terms right. I was thinking that person between home plate and the bunt line was the shortstop, not the catcher.

As first base, I only had one easy catch tonight. I dropped/fumbled like 3 catches. No bueno, I need practice.

BUT, DH got most of the island dug out tonight, I put dirt into two areas so we actually got way more done than I thought we would.

oh yeah, Meow friend is playing kickball, yay! We were trash talking a bit and then she showed me how zombies twerk.

Fun evening and team we played was fun. Actually, one of the girls was chatting with me at first and she too remembered the **** team that would always run up to the bunt line on the girls.
 
So - if you just finished lip syncing, and you're wearing a very short dress (with a hairy cleavage), and you're sitting on a barstool watching your competition, it's very disconcerting that you are dangling a mic between your legs. I'm looking at YOU, Clark Gregg...
