You are aware....
So, DS just finished the majority of his studying for his very last exam of 2006. This studying consisted of printing off four separate outlines, dividing them by topic, then putting paper clips around each subject -- eight in all. That may not sound like much, but there was a good hour of work that when into that.
DS feels like Costanza when Arthur Pensky enterred Gerorge's office and demanded to see his file.
Pensky: Costanza? Arthur Pensky.
George: Mr. Pensky. I was just working on your file. I was transferring the contents of the file into this flexible accordion-style folder.
Pensky: Where's Tuttle?
George: He's on vacation.
Pensky: He was on vacation the last time I dropped by. Give me my file. (looks through the file) Looks like you put a lot of work into this.
George: Well you know in college they used to call me the little bulldog.
Pensky: Hey, you are Pensky material. Would you ever consider coming to work directly for me?
George: Really?
Pensky: You are aware...
*buzz*
Secretary: (over the speaker) Mr. Castanza?
George: Not now Florice.
Secretary: (speaker) I thought Mr. Pensky should know they're towing his car.
DS thinks he's "P(ensky)" material.
You can call him the little bulldog from now on.

I applaud your optimism. With a little bit of a different perspective on exams, I'm a little closer to George in "The Opposite":
George: Why did it all turn out like this for me? I had so much promise. I was personable, I was bright. Oh, maybe not academically speaking, but ... I was perceptive. I always know when someone's uncomfortable at a party. It became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I've ever made, in my entire life, has been wrong. My life is the opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have, in every of life, be it something to wear, something to eat ... It's all been wrong.
Oh yeah? The jerk store called and they're running out of you!
There were times DS, in the bitter watches of this morning, that yes, I hated you for your rationality and composure in deciding to p-out on this class.

Less than a year ago, Judge Jeremey Fogel appeared at Boalt in my legal ethics class to discuss judicial ethics, and we discussed the Morales case which was pending before him. Morales challenged the constitutionality of how the death penalty is carried out in California. Naturally, Judge Fogel's comments were circumspect, given that the case was pending, but we had an interesting conversation nonetheless. Anyway, my mail list for that course is now defunct, so I wanted to post here that Judge Fogel's Statement of Intended Decision is out.

I haven't had time to fully digest the decision but it apparently declines to forbid lethal injection while at the same time forcing the state to change its processes.

my fav george quotes from the episode where kramer gets an intern...
"George: Oh, you might want to stick around Jerry. Mr. Thomassoulo picked the wrong man to hire because he was fake handicapped."
"Thomassoulo: Want to play hand ball huh? Fine. (calls on intercom) Attention Play Now employees, George Costanza’s handicapped bathroom is now open on the sixteenth floor to all employees and their families.
George: Well played.
Thomassoulo: I’ll see you in hell Costanza."
