Greetings loyal readership,[crickets chirping]Just wanted to drop a note on the internets letting you know that I found out that I passed the California bar exam on November 21 and I was sworn in as an official attorney as of December 2, 2008.And now, for a self-disparaging lawyer quote:“[Lawyers] have been known to wrest from reluctant juries triumphant verdicts of acquittal for their clients,

There is this list going around called the Omnivore's Hundred. It's a list of (you guessed it) one hundred things that should grace the lips of all omnivores (at least the homo sapiens kind) at least once. Here is my list with items I've tried bolded, as well as items I probably won't ever try unless I change my religious creed in gray. Please enjoy my commentary in (parens).1. Venison (medium

I started work as a pseudo-attorney this week. Still awaiting those bar results.My young-adulthood has officially ended and now I am a workaday square.

I just finished 18 hours of rigorous testing over 3 days. It's over.Thank you all for your support, patience and encouragement.

Well, despite a 5.4 magnitude earthquake during the morning session, I have officially survived the first day of the California bar exam.The testing center is about 10-12 miles from the epicenter. Pretty sweet.

It's official: our house is on the market. It is 2:29 in the a.m. and I just finished the (pretty much) final version of MyProvoHome.com for posting on the interweb. Many thanks to my beautiful Kyra. She was in charge of the overall design of the site and I think it looks fabulous.

I'm getting really sick of receiving emails laden with polictical or social commentary favoring some particular ideology. I'm searching for a nice way to tell people that I can't stand getting these emails. I'm trying to walk the thin line of being nice but getting my point accross. Here is a response I sent off recently. What do you think?Dear [name withheld],I wanted to let you know that I love

Dutifully reviewing my outlines for the upcoming bar exam, I wished to highlight a certain portion of text that was practically begging to be painted yellow to ensure inculcation of a legal principle warranting careful scrutiny during future review. I recalled that there is a way to highlight text in Word without making my poor, weary mouse hike all the way up to the Quick Access Toolbar and

My final law school grades are in, and I must say I'm honored. No, really, I officially graduated with honors, or cum laude, for all you Latinophones out there. I got a 3.4 in professional responsibility, a 3.7 in business associations and a 4.0 (whoo hoo!) in domestic mediation, bumping me up to a 3.47 overall.The funny thing was that there was a letter from the Dean of the law school that came

Frustrated with my inferior design skills, Kyra and I (mainly me but mainly Kyra) have revamped the MyProvoHome.com website. The site is still under construction but we hope to have it up in the next couple weeks. Here is a screen shot of the (very) preliminary mock up for your viewing pleasure.

Here is a preview of my graduation announcement, which some of you just may receive in the mail within the next few days. I can't believe I'm almost a juris doctor.

As most of you know, Kyra and I will be selling our house this summer. We are going to try to sell it without hiring a realtor. To that end, I am working on a real estate website about our house (the url is myprovohome.com, in case that isn't obvious at this point) that I hope will expose the house to a greater audience than a simple "For Sale By Owner" sign posted in our front yard. The site is

Kyra and I got a Dyson Vacuum cleaner for Christmas. The day after we had some carpet installed, we vacuumed to clean up all of the leftover scraps. Behold the remnants that the Dyson picked up from just two bedrooms:

So, Office Max has a site where you can put your and your friends' and family's faces on dancing elves. Trust me, the result is a lot funnier than it sounds.The screen shots are just a preview.

And, no, I don't mean the hit comedy series that ran from 1991-99. I'm just really excited today that our home remodeling project is nearing completion. Our tile in the basement will be finished tomorrow and carpet will go in early next week. We are even replacing the carpet upstairs so we don't have to look at Paul Finster's gatorade stains anymore. We also had our upstairs bathroom tiled, which

Went to the game on Saturday. Another nail-bitter of a victory for BYU against Utah. After the last play of the game, Kyra, Cody and I ran onto the field (with hundreds of other fans) and congratulated the players. We lost Cody right away but somehow he got back to us amidst the multitude. We saw Harvey Unga, Austin Collie and Max Hall in the mix. I even patted Cecil O. Samuelson on the back and

As a rule, I try not to blog about the banalities of everyday life but I had two relatedly banal experiences that--if my math is right--add up to at least one funny one. For you math majors out there, the equation works out like this:B1 + B2 = -BSo, today after class, I head out to the immense law school parking lot and find my car, a green 1997 Buick Century, where I had parked it this morning.

When I lived in Costa Rica as and exchange student, I ate a dish called "gallo pinto" (meaning "spotted rooster") almost every day. And I never got sick of it. More recently, Kyra and I took a vacation to Costa Rica (need to post pictures of that vacation) and I was reminded about how good this dish is. I emailed my host mom Sonia and asked her for the recipe. It's surprisingly easy to make. But

Take a look at our pumpkins this year. As you can see from this first picture (thanks to Cody for labeling it so hauntingly!), I carved a haunted house with a moon and clouds, Kyra carved a scary zombie, and Cody carved a ghoul in a graveyard.Here are some shots with me, my pumpkin and one of our cats, Pipi.

Funny story. Kyra and I went with another couple to a haunted forest on Saturday night. First off, is anyone else tired of every entertainment business having to incorporate a pirate theme in the wake of the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy's commercial success? I'm sick of the shameless coattail-riding. Also, the lawyer in me wonders about copyright infringement. I mean, there was a dude there

Kyra and I went to the ward Halloween party last night. Here are our costumes.In case you didn't guess, I am Nacho Libre (Nacho Liggettbre?) and Kyra is a sassy 80's chick. We were the hit of the party and, yes, I was really self-conscience wearing bikini briefs on the outside of my skin-tight pants. Also, that mustache is the real deal.

This is a trailer for the new Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep) starring Jack Black and Mos Def. It's called Be Kind Rewind. Looks pretty hilarious.

If you are wandering down Internet Lane and have found nothing more interesting with which to occupy your time than my blog, you are most assuredly bored out of your mind. So here is some light reading that I hope you will enjoy. It is a transcript of a commencement speech given by David Foster Wallace at Kenyon College in 2005. I will vouch for DFW as being one of the best writers around today.

Kyra and I went and saw The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters last Saturday with our friends Beccy and Ryan. This was probably not only the best documentary I've seen ever, it was the best movie I've seen in years. It's an instant classic.

This is a video of our cat, Mercy, "complaining" whenever someone sneezes or gears up to sneeze. It's pretty classic. Listen closely to hear her whiny kitty voice. You may even hear another whining cat in the background right at the end of the clip.
