time wasting, night 2

it has come to my attention that i am so very screwed for the "federal courts" exam. my friend has described the course as "conflicts of law on crack." "conflicts of law" is supposedly the hardest course at school. my friend is taking both, and she said "conflicts of law" is not as difficult as "federal courts," and she aced constitutional law, so i believe her. "federal courts" is pretty much advanced constitutional law and civil procedure... on crack. (an aside: it's common knowledge that supreme court justices have several doctrines at their disposal to interpret the constitution - and to avoid interpreting the constitution - but you can't just say "hey, the court decided that this plaintiff didn't have standing, because it's too hot a topic to decide, so they ducked the question and chose an exit route" which is probably the most correct assessment - you have to reconcile how the supreme court came to their conclusion on 'case a' with how they came to the opposite conclusion on 'case b' even though both cases tackled similar issues and the facts of 'case a' should have pointed to the same conclusion as 'case b.' constitutional law is a clusterfuck. the possibilities and permutations are almost endless.). i really don't know how i got suckered into taking it. supposedly, it satisfies some intellectual property graduation requirement, but i have learned that this is a myth. THANKS A LOT! this blows.

i spent the last four hours starting a "federal courts" outline. i got through the third case before i decided to make a mix cd. if you think emily1 should be embarrassed about enjoying jefferson starship's "we built this city," please take note of the abomination below:

i hereby present, "the 90's: EXTREME(tm) CHEESE!"

wilson phillips "hold on"
amy grant "baby baby"
mr. big "to be with you"
poison "every rose has its thorn"
tom cochrane "life is a highway"
extreme "more than words"
sinead o'connor "nothing compares 2 u"
shanice "i love your smile"
sophie b. hawkins "damn, i wish i was your lover"
pm dawn "set adrift on memory bliss"
duran duran "come undone"
the cure "friday i'm in love"
spin doctors "two princes"
guns n' roses "november rain"
lisa loeb "stay"
aerosmith "i don't wanna miss a thing"
savage garden "truly madly deeply"

FUCK YEAH!!! EXTREME!!!!!!

okay, bad 90's music contest... in the comments! go!!!

[just a note... i have a 5 cd 90's dance party mix i made last week, including "what is love" by haddaway, "u can't touch this" by mc hammer, "ice ice baby" by vanilla ice, "baby got back" by sir mix a lot, "all 4 love" by color me badd and "jump! jump!" by kriss kross, and many many many more... so this contest ain't no walk in the park. :D :D :D]

this is also probably the only time you will see the "standing doctrine" and "baby got back" in the same place at the same time.

p.s. perhaps, just perhaps, i will make an "absolute worst of the 90's" cd. if readers, posters, lurkers, etc. can pick the 15 worst songs from the 90's, i might make said compilation.
