dozer

sort of in a rush this evening, so i'm gonna kick it bullet-point style...

• i know it's too early to tell, but doesn't it seem like professor poser pretty much kicks ass? what is it about this old man that makes him so darn likeable? his laid-back, socratic-lite approach? his sense of wonder (and the smile that crept over his face) as he described being at the supreme court? or is it the fact that he gave himself a pretty friggin' cool nickname today... poser the dozer. (not dozer as in snoozer, but dozer as in bulldozer, as in a one-man wrecking crew.) bottom line, it sucks that we have to go to school at all on a friday, but we could do a lot worse than two hours with the dozer. maybe i'm wrong... i'd love to hear what you think about him as well.
• civ pro was a breeze again today with professor gora a.k.a. bob newhart. gora just seems like a really, really nice guy. it was so fun watching how delighted he was when he realized that the student in our class portraying the plaintiff was from missouri.
• also intriguing was gora's revelation that he was a cartophile. (is that a real word? i may have just made it up.) anyway, he's not a "map freak" but he is a map lover. i don't know why, but i like knowing these little things about our professors.
• i have to wonder if gora will be using this plaintiff / defendant / judge / commentator approach to all of our cases this semester. was it just me, or did it seem like some of the people today got off really easily? anyway, i hope he sticks with it.
• thanks to the person who wrote up the pitler story on the message board. sort of makes me appreciate P a little bit more... i mean, you think sebok gives a shit whether any of us smokes ourselves to death? way to go, professor pitler.

all things considered, a thoroughly decent first week of the semester. hope you all have a great three day weekend. take a bit of advice from menlove, your local village idiot: aside from spring break, there will be no better weekend to party than this one. put your books away, put some sort of buzz on, and rock out with your cock out.
