Is a Barista a lawyer?


Nooooooooo. Not according to Starbucks. A barista is the title of the person who serves you coffee at Starbucks. Go figure. The first time my sister mentioned the word "Barista" to me, I was wondering why her Nigerian lawyer was now serving coffee in Starbucks. Whats with that.

Right now I am trying to finish two things. Finish the first season of West Wing and then finish the book I am reading. I started watching the first season of West Wing this summer when I went to Kenya. I took it with me but it sucked to try to watch TV while you are on vacation, especially since it was something I brought with me. I am finishing it tonight, yes it has taken me this long but I have managed through classes this semester to try and finish it. Actually, it means I have not done any studying during the past three wekends. Have you tried watching TV with kids buzzing around you? Try two kids. Anyway, I am on the last DVD, I love this show. By the way, I have Season 2, 3 and 4 on standby and I am hoping someone will buy Season 5 and 6 for me. Can I also say, that I am kinda ticked off that Season 5 and 6 are available in England and we can't even get season 6 here? Whats with releasing an American show in England first. I know they were our colonial masters but I thought we already protested and dumped tea in the Boston Harbor!!! Anyway, thats on my wish list, West Wing Season 5 and 6 cos I am going to knock out 2,3,4 over xmas!!!


I am reading Ambler Warning by Robert Ludlum, good so far especially considering that I am supposed to be reading my law school books. Anyway, thats not what worries me. I am reading a book by a guy who is dead and keep churning out books. I am told someone else is writing these books and appending his name to it. I should remember that in the future when I decide to publish my book.

I am a rat pack, I go to a bookstore, see a book I like or author I read who now has a new book and I buy it to read later. It has come to the point where I have a suitcase full of books that I have not read and I take them out one at a time to read them as I have time. I have somewhat decided to be supportive of my local public library and borrow books to read instead of buying them. The only problem I face as in the above book is that the due date comes quick, I am not done with the book and if its a new book I cant renew it. Holding time for the book is 14days. Well, 14 days is enough when I have nothing else to do. When I am in school full time like this, I dont get to read as fast.

Which explains why the book I borrowed from Bishop at the end of the first year of law school is still on my shelf, unread and accumulating fines. I should read it this xmas.!! Anyway, peace out, let me finish West Wing and then this book, cos I really need to be studying for finals.
