MY KINGDOM!: the HINES WARD of Blogs

DAILY DOSE: "Searching For Signs of Life, But There's Nobody Home."

Ahh, winterness. Today there are the first real flurries of the year. Sure, we got a light dusting yesterday, but that just doesn’t cut it. Today is actual capitol-‘S’ “Snow.” I think. I reserve the right to discount today, tomorrow.

Anywho, welcome back to the Kingdom. Today on the Dose, I settle into post-finals life, meaning that I am quite certainly DONE with 5 of 6 law school semesters. How does it feel? Bittersweet, really. Depending on how things shake out with the schedules of me and my friends next semester, this could quite possibly be the end of couch sessions of Saved By the Bell, Match Game, Whammy, MacGyver, and The Price Is Right. And that would actually really suck. This has been a really fantastic semester that went by far too quickly. Sure, the 4-6 classes four times a week got tedious, but all of my courses were cool, and couch time was a blast. I’ve gotten even closer to people this semester, and have developed so many really great friendships, that I can say with certainty now, that the end of law school will be equally as bittersweet as the feeling I have today (if not moreso.)

That being said, let’s have some fun around here! It’s WINTER BREAK! I’ve just now decided that I’m going to kick off a Break-long spectacular sometime this week. Hopefully, I’ll fill these pages with guess stars, columns, and more of the usual random stupidity you’ve all come to know and love from the Kingdom. So, if you’ve EVER felt an inkling to say, “hey Adam, I’ve got something to say” NOW is the time to do it. I still owe Beddy and Marc a day’s run of the Kingdom, so boys, sign up now. Also, I’d love another run at some rules from Staubbied and Beddy, as well. If Uram’s out there- let’s Go Postal one last time. Howzabout we get a woman’s perspective for once? Lara, Lauren, Jeanie? All of you have expressed an interest in writing at one time or another—hop to it! Kujo, howabout another column? Let’s take the ‘dol’ out of the winter doldrums (whatever that means) and have some fun around here. In the meantime, here’s a little Dose action for y’all, while I try to come up with ideas to write about over the next three weeks or so.

Today’s Song is “Good” by Better Than Ezra, just because I heard it on the radio as I returned from campus late last night, immediately following the completion of my final final. Always liked this song, which is a prime example of Adam’s Trademarked Perfectly-Acceptable 90’s Rock that Never Hurt Anyone. Enjoy.

And the Link of the Day is THIS little tidbit from the motherland that makes me VERY happy to know that I own a desktop, and that no matter how much smarter all those guys in school are than me, I’ve at least got a higher sperm count than them. (That being said, I keep a radioactive cell phone in my pocket every day..yikes!) In honesty, I think I need to learn how to line cotton with lead, and patent lead-lined jeans, I think I could make a killing.

In the meantime, it’s back to work!
To infinity, and beyond!
