Bring on the Kontracts

sometimes i wish we did not have wireless in the library. the NCAA tourney just started and i am tempted to check scores every three to five minutes.

just days ago i swore i was not going to fill out a bracket, but i found bracketology a much needed break from tomorrow's contracts exam. did anyone check out president obama's bracket? I am a little disappointed in our president's selections. all of the one, two and three seeds made it to the sweet sixteen along with 2 four and 2 five seeds. come on. pick some upsets. heck, i took cleveland state to the sweet sixteen and have Xavier over Pitt to get to the elite eight (these picks clearly reflect my Ohio bias. but sorry Akron, you didn't make the cut.).

given my post history (or lack thereof) it is abundantly clear that i welcome any distraction from studying contracts. this is not to say i am unprepared but i am done with consideration, cisg, and parol evidence. if you stumble across this blog before the K exam you are clearly unproductive. so go distract someone - i am sure they need it too.

have a great break

Props to PILF

props to the pilf people for pulling off a great event.

i have never been to a live auction but have seen a few on tv (entourage episode where turtle's cousin is able to convince turtle and drama to buy a koufax jersey because he thinks Sandy is going to die). while i was excited to go to the event i was afraid we would be subjected to a real auctioneer all night. listening to a tradational auctioneer on tv is terrible, perhaps even worse in person. thank god greenbaum, berman, merrit, and simmons preformed admirably.

i felt bad for the closer - greenbaum, solely because had to pitch in top of the ninth and the home team was up 10. Everyone leaves a blowout baseball game early. unfortunately greenbaum's audience was a bit thin. you could tell he put some time into his preparation - he had a silk intro for every item.

simmons sounded pretty good but i really wasn't paying attention.

merrit's son bid on a number of items she auctioned (there must be a better word for this). she pleaded with the audience to outbid her son.

was berman good? yes, no, maybe, what do you mean?!? I do know that his "crim law move night for 10" sold for 50 bucks while "hit berman in the face with a pie" went for 100 or more. If only berman got hit with a pie at the auction.
