Yep, that’s what I’m doing.  Well, sorta.  I’m working on it, and I need to get it in gear so I can figure out my top five schools and sign up for the LSAT.  I’m thinking a December test date is in order…I don’t want to put it off too long.  They’ll probably change the test again and I just dropped some decent coin to buy a study guide for THIS year’s test.

The NFL announced the 2009 football schedule last night.  I’m already scouting it to see what game(s) the DH and I will try to attend this year to further The Quest.  Hey, some people go to all the baseball stadiums, we’re going to the football fields.  We’re taking a long vacation at the beginning of September, so that kind of kills the early games this year.  Starting in November, though, the possibilities are there for a good long weekend trip.  I’m thinking maybe Hotlanta, Charlotte, or Seattle.  We’ll have to see where we can get good tickets – both plane and game – on the cheap.

Totally cool thing:  I own two pairs of Skullcandy earbuds – an Ink’d pair and a pair of Smokin’ Buds.  I LOVE THEM.  You may have read earlier that I somehow jacked mine up and got a new pair after sending the defective ones in.  No questions asked.  Anyway, I see this article/video/blog on MSN today about SC.  It’s a pretty cool concept they have going.  It’s odd to me, however, that they didn’t discuss that one aspect that totally sold me on the brand – the return policy.  Yeah, the buds sound amazing (even the cheaper Ink’d ones – wearing them now), but, when a company has a rocking return policy, it’s like whipped cream and cherries on the sundae.  I guess I’m more of a mainstream user – since I don’t fall into the skater/snowboarder group – but give me a company with a cool design, a great product, and sweet customer service, and I’m going to be loyal to it.  There’s another set of buds I’d love to have, but I can’t justify dropping the dosh for a third set…hey, Skullcandy – send me some and I’ll keep recommending your products to my “mainstream” pals!

I am so ready for tonight!  I thought the itch would go away after having it all day yesterday, but today, I’m more distracted and ready to get out of here.  Technically, my work day is done.  I’m chillin’ here, researching law schools for future consideration…and occasionally checking the score of the ChiSox-Royals game.  Last I looked, it was 0-0.   Now, bottom of the 8th, the score’s still the same.

In baseball news, a tragic ending for a bright young up-and-comer.  There are lots of articles on this (here and here, for example), but Nick Adenhart of the Halos was killed in a car accident after a great game – six shutout innings, to be exact.  From this angel to those Angels, and to Nick’s parents, my sincerest condolences.  It’s so very sad.  I’m sure a moment of silence for this young man will happen at tonight’s game, as it should.

Shit.  Top of the 9th and the Royals have 2 in.

Joe Crede is making his first appearance back in Chicago since going to the Twins on Friday.  I’m sure it will be a wild experience for him…he’ll be cheered and heckled all in the same breath from the Sox fans.  What a great place to be.  I told the DH I wanted tix to a game at CommiskeyUS Cellular for my birthday and a new Sox hat.  My little bro has my old one…and won’t give it back.  Bitch.

Anyway, back to the law school search.  There’s a zillion more to check out to give the first narrowing (like I probably won’t go to any in the state of Ohio, simply out of principle).
