Life is too good

School started two weeks ago, I am knee deep in depositions and trial prep for a case going to court this Thrusday, I started dating a new guy and I have had little to no desire to write anything that didn't involve the words, "Please send money."
But I still have lots of news to share. I recently wrote a post for the 3six5 Project! You can read it here. It's about my old college friend who recently moved to Chicago for graduate school. The 3six5 Project is a project created by my friend, Len Kendall, meant to capture 365 points of view for 365 days. Basically, 365 different writers choose a date this year and write about their experiences for that day. It's a really cool idea and so far the posts have been really amazing. I hope mine lives up to the rest.
My courses for this semester include Corporation, High Tech Litigation, Legal Writing IV for IT and Privacy Law, Trial Advocacy, and Constitutional Law II. It's pretty exciting stuff. I love my Legal Writing Professor, my Trial Advocacy professor and my High Tech Litigation professor the best thus far.
My Legal Writing professor actually lived in Austin for 20 years while doing all sorts of IT litigation, so I feel like we are kind of kindred spirits even though he is clearly old enough to be my father. My legal writing professor is also the former Director of the IT and Privacy Law program, so he's extremely knowledgeable about my field of study and extremely personable. My Trial Advocacy professor is actually a judge. His name is Judge Norgle and he's a Northern District Court Judge in Illinois. (My school is right across from the Federal Court house.) Judge Norgle is extremely entertaining and despite the late class (6-9pm), he keeps us all awake, alert and happy. Finally, my High Tech Litigation professor is equally as interesting. He's been practicing for ten years and is very involved in Patent Litigation. I think he knows a great deal about technology litigation and is going to be a great resource for practical advice for what to expect after law school.
Needless to say, I think I am going to really enjoy this semester. I hope to keep you updated, sorry it's been such a long time since I last wrote. Life doesn't stop for the blogsphere and I'm learning that the hard way.
Last but never least, here is a copy of my thesis paper on Online Contractual Agreements and a Lack of Meeting of the Minds. I wanted to share it all with my legal readers since I haven't posted anything particularly relevant to the law lately.
Happy Reading!

My best friend lives in Texas and ironically her two best friends both moved to Chicago for school. Thus, Meghan and I made this video for our mutual best friend, Jenn. As you can see, we had a lot of fun running around on Michigan Avenue and being typical girls.
Only a few more days until school starts back up full fledged. It's good to know a few of these days are still left...

When Law Students Get Bored, they take up old hobbies...
Sunday, January 10, 2010 0 commentsI haven't been writing for SMLS for a while because I've been preoccupied with my favorite old hobby...makeup. For those of you who don't know, I love art. I used to draw a lot as a child and in my teens I became an avid oil painter. Now that I'm in law school I don't have the luxury of spending hours a day doodling or painting. As a result, I've developed a (almost unhealthy) obsession with self expression through makeup.
My favorite brand of makeup is Mac Cosmetics and I own tons of it. I would take a picture of my collection, but I'm a little embarrassed to admit how much I own. (I own so much of it that for Christmas I was given two stackable train cases for storing it!) YIKES!
Needless to say, I've been playing with some looks recently and I wanted to share them with you. Some are inspired by celebrities and famous people, others I dreamed up all my own. Have a look!
Look 1: Inspired by Angelina Jolie, see the video for a tutorial on how to create this look. (I made this look a bit more dramatic for effect than the video does.)
Mac Slimline Lipstick in Gentle Simmer (Gives you that Kim Kardashian wet lip look...love this lipstick!)
Look 2 - Variation of the Angelina Jolie Eye but Less Intense with Pink Sparkle Lip in Mac Lipstick Snob with Mac's Resort Life on top
Look 3 - Red Lip with Mac Brick Lip Liner and Mac Russian Red - See YouTube Video below for help on creating the perfect Red Lip
Look 4 - Warm Soft Blue, Brown and Golden Look (Created in my head! haha.)
Mac Lipstick in Ravishing with Golden Bronze Powder lightly dusted over lips in the center for the golden sheen
Look 5 - Pink and Purples with Blue Eyeliner (Self Created - very intense, not for the faint of heart.) --- Apologies ahead of time for my brows in this picture...
Mac Lipstick in Girl About Town
Let me know which one you like best! Like I said, this is my only artistic outlet, so I hope you don't think I'm totally bizarre for posting these up. I just wanted to show you all how I've been utilizing my time. hahaha.
Is this Trademark Infringement?

So I stumbled across these shoes on Forever21.com and my first though was...how can Forever 21 make these shoes and not get sued by Christian Louboutin?
For those of you who don't have the Devil Wears Prada on DVD, hate Sex in the City and can't stand Project Runway, let me just say, Christian Louboutin is the cream of the crop designer of shoes right now. His signature and trademark look always includes a red sole. Watch Oprah lately? Notice the sole of her shoes - they are always red indicating she's wearing Christian Louboutin.
So how is it that Forever 21 can get away with mass producing a red soled shoe? I don't know. But if I was Christian Louboutin's lawyer, I'd be serving some papers to the multi-million dollar label, Forever 21.

Who says being engaged is all that? The biggest upside is being left alone, once people spot a ring on your left hand. Whether you're trying to dodge dodgy dudes at the bar, heading to a reunion or visiting your nagging grandmother, slip on your Ms.Taken ring and act as if. It says committed, without the commitment.

Check out MsTaken.com otherwise known as Ms. Taken. I saw this site and just had to share it. Great for a good giggle.
