divine angst

I had big plans for today, involving my car, my hair, and my nails.

Instead, I’m relaxing on the couch, watching the Mythbusters marathon on Discovery. I will eventualy get some stuff done later, since Mr. Angst is playing poker tonight and I need to pick up some food to eat. But for now, I’m takin’ it easy.

(Surprisingly, I’m not terribly hungover. I’m not particularly inclined to do much and I have a small headache, which may be indicative of the bottle of rosé and everclear-soaked melon I partook of last night. But I’m usually lazy on Saturday and I have chronic headaches, so I can’t be sure.)

It’s past midnight and if I can get this blog post out without significant typos, I figure I’ll be doing well.

I have a few things to gripe about.

First, I chose tonight to buy a rosé, at least partially because I was shamed into it by some posts that I got to from Crescat. However, I don’t know where the specific posts are, and I am drunk and incapable of finding them, so you’ll just have to take my word. Tonight, I tried a Spanish rosé, and it wasn’t that great. But it did the trick, as far as buzzed-ness goes, so I’m not going to bitch TOO much.

Also, it was less than $10 and we drank it while we were with fun people. And Mr. Angst’s experimental bottles of beer cost less than $4. Such is the delight of Whole Foods. $14 and we are happy happy happy.

Second, I’ve been irked (or I was irked until I got some wine in me) by this comment. Look, I know JD2B linked to me. And it wasn’t my best post. Perhaps I came off whiny? Point being, I have two things to say: first, whoever posted this is a coward. I allow anonymous comments because i don’t like to stifle anyone who might feel restricted by having to submit an email address, but comments like this make me want to change my mind.

Second, did you realize that the fake URL you submitted is for an etiquette school in the South? Kind of ironic, huh?

My final response to this shitty comment is:

Over 100,000 students took the LSAT last year. For the sake of argument, let’s assume at least as many took it this year. Of that 100,000, something like 99,000 applied to law school. And something like 48,000 were admitted. (All data are for 2004 admission, but I’m going to assume the data for this year is pretty similar.)

So what does this data mean? Basically, that anyone who gets into law school is a f**king rock star in my book. The top 50% get admitted? F**k yeah. So someone has the nerve to come trolling over here, knowing NOTHING about me and my admissions process except what I have chosen to reveal and say something as stupid as “enjoy being ttt”? Yeah. Whatever. Don’t be tacky.

Mr. Angst is telling me I need to come to bed now, because I am drunk and it is late, so I’ll just add that it’s LUCKY I am not sober and LUCKY I have to go to bed, otherwise I’d go BALLISTIC on you. OK, maybe not so much. But I’d be tempted and I might try before I passed out.

Goodnight.
