I choose to stay up far later than necessary doing absolutely nothing worth doing at this hour. Or really worth doing ever.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Click the link above to see my friend’s father’s Iowa Supreme Court interview…
Unfortunate that there have to BE interviews taking place right now. But if this man replaces one of the ousted Justices, I can tell you: we’ll be in good hands, Iowa.

The darkness is a harsh term don’t you think? And yet it dominates the things I seek. It seems as if all my bridges have been burned, You say that’s exactly how this grace thing works.

Watching Bones at "work"...
Bones: Are you praying?

Let the finger-crossing begin.
“This isn’t law school—it’s a t-shirt shop.”
– Snooki (Astute, that one. However, a number of Iowa law students are currently contending that law school is much more like the Jersey Shore than Snooki might realize…They might be right. Drama, drama, drama.)
“My third reason moves to an even deeper level of awareness, for it grows out of...”

I just got done with the series, and I do like this:
“Looking back, many of the saddest times in my life turn out to be the happiest. So I must be happy now. Yeah. This is gonna be good. Why else would I be crying?”
“And thank you to God for making me an atheist.”

And it goes on and on and on...like that stupid...
Penn State, Brown, Georgetown, Washington, University of Illinois-Chicago, Vanderbilt, Michigan, and Carnegie Mellon…
Eight down, eight to go.
I feel like this shall never end.
Sometimes it really annoys me that some of the people in my life feel the need to share their opinion about everything imaginable—especially when it’s negative…and completely unnecessary information. If it doesn’t really add to the conversation, please self-edit.
Geezus.
So far...
Penn State…check
Brown…check
Georgetown…check
University of Illinois-Chicago…check
University of Washington…check
Between tonight and tomorrow night: University of Michigan, Vanderbilt, and Carnegie Mellon.
Then…on to the European schools…and a few more state schools. Five down, eleven to go.
Le sigh.
Spending the night applying to Penn State...

So.tired.of.applications.
Lucille: Michael Moore confronted me on national television. Michael: First of all, that was not Michael Moore. That was a Michael Moore look-alike. And second, it wasn’t national television. It was for a bit…on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Lucille: I don’t know what that is—nor do I care to find out.
Arrested Development: I need to rewatch the whole series…for the...

– JON STEWART, reacting to some of the inane legislation proposed in the wake of the Tucson shootings that would, essentially, beef up protection for elected officials — as opposed to the rest of us — on The Daily Show (via inothernews)

In a state that has removed 20 wrongly condemned people from death row since 1987, the Senate voted 32-25 to end state-sponsored execution more than a decade after a former governor halted the punishment he said was “haunted by the demon of error.”
“We have a historic opportunity today, an opportunity to part company with countries that are the worst civil rights violators and join the ...

From an email I received today from Change.org:
Indian actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan appears on the January cover of Elle magazine, but she’s outraged by the image. Her skin appears far more pale than it is in real life. Her dark brown hair is shown to be practically red.
Elle claims to celebrate women of color by featuring them on magazine covers, but this is the second time in just...
