the bar, itself, was actually not so bad. i have no fucking idea whatsoever if i passed, of course, but it wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it would be. wanna know why i think the california bar passage rate is so much lower, on average, than other states? it's all about it being three days long. and if i might say so, it's totally unnecessary to have it be three days long. in three days in california, i answered 200 MBE questions, wrote six essays, and took two performance exams. in two days in colorado, i answered 200 MBE questions, wrote nine essays, and took one performance exam. uh, any meaningful difference?

anyway, all is well now, and within an hour of completing the damn thing i'd had two Belgian Abbey Red ales from a downtown brewpub called Karl Strauss, and then a non-alcoholic dinner at a fantastic vegetarian restaurant. lest you think the two beers wasn't much, there are about 8.4% alcohol each, and they were both 20 ounces.

now i wait. and read. and sleep. and eat normally. and poop normally.

oh! the Sea World fireworks are going off outside my window and deck! more soon.
