Having gone to school down there, it drives me nuts that no one can pronounce the name of or spell the name of the hospital correctly. Its prounounced 'spawn' like the spawn of satan. It is spelled Spohn. Not Spawn, not Spahn, and not Spaohn. I dont know why it is called that. Probably named after some old german doctor from a hundred years ago or something, but the name is on the damn sign behind where they are giving the press conferences.

Even the TV stations here in SA cant get it right and we're only two hours away. Half of SA has family in corpus and was probably born at that damn hospital.

I dont know why it bothers me so much. Guess its just one of the basics of journalism to get the most basic of facts correct.

ok, here's my new pet peeve with the crappy reporting on this. on good morning america this morning (and other reports) reporters keep saying there are "possibly hundreds of pellets" in the guy. OMG! Are you all that stupid?! He was shot ONCE with a shot gun, with a max of 70 pellets. I don't know where they get this crap from.....

life...thanks for the correction on saying Spohn. It really is not that difficult folks...and it is Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital, not Corpus Christi Memorial.

now, back to your regulalry scheduled posts...

Did you just start law school?

I swear, everyone I know is a first year.

Law school is the cool thing to do, especially when the job market sucks.

Oooh, good call.

Same here.

But I'm in law school. I don't have much contact with the outside world :)

Yay! Go you!

I did (am?) dating a guy who's doing law school and work. Only I think they have this "three fourths" thing for law school, where it's more than part time but less than full time.

I don't know, but he always wants to talk law.

The job market does not suck. It's pretty good actually.

I had four offers in one week.

Which asian massage parlor did you settle on?

I hope it was A Touch of the Orient - that's really close to our adjunct office, so I can send my boy Chuck over to peep it out.

Actually, she's a fence for stolen formal dresses.

You can use the word "Fence" in a noun form like that? IF not, I'm not trying to be a grammar weirdo. I'm just interested so I know for the future.

Bingo.



I was pretty excited, because when I'd done the job search thing 6 months ago I got *no* offers. So this was a big change.
