James Bond.

Or, more specifically, Pierce Brosnan. He happens to be my crush of the month. And before anyone says anything, yes, I realize he's 57 and yes, I realize he is married. But who could possibly resist this?



Or even current-day Pierce?



Well, anyway, I've spent all of the past two weeks watching Pierce Brosnan movies ranging from his stint as the world's favorite British secret agent to the title role in the Thomas Crowne Affair (which was the movie to spark my love of PB in the first place). Included are Laws of Attraction, Mamma Mia, and Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Utterly irresistable in all of them.

Love, love, love.


In other news, I have written out all the titles of books I've read since starting my job at the golf course's phone room. Without including re-reads of old books, I have started and finished about 24 books. Favorites include Suzanne Enoch's Samantha Jellicoe/Rick Addison series to Julia Quinn's newest novels. In addition, I had finished Linda Fairstein's Alexandra Cooper books, probably my absolute favorite author/series yet. I want to be Alex, please and thank you. One-L was probably the only book read for semi-school related purposes.

I'm still not sure if I should be proud or slightly embarrassed by the sheer volume of novels I ripped through this summer.

Disneyland of Law Schools.

Boston College Law School, that is. Apparently, people are actually nice to one another there despite the cutthroat admission process.

Yet another school to add to my list...

8 More Work Days...

The glamor of working in a golf course's phone room has worn off. I needn't say that it was never there to begin with. I have run out of books to read and re-read and playing pointless games on the internet is no longer entertaining. I may never want to see a polo shirt again, which is strange coming from me who loves polos. I never want to answer the phone with a cheerful "Good morning/afternoon, Juniper Hill Golf Course, how can I help you?" ever again.

Needless to say, I cannot wait for August 27th when I can break myself out of the cramped office I have spent every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday since May.


In other news...
I'm still researching law schools. NYLS still looks to be my favorite, but three others have arrived on-scene. They are Brooklyn Law School in Brooklyn, NY, New England Law, and Suffolk University's School of Law, both of which are in Boston, MA. I'm starting to look in Washington, DC as well. The only thing that has remained steady in this search is that I want to study in a city, not in the rural areas that I have grown up and spent my undergrad years in.
