Cinderella’s “The Work Song” (Barbri remix):

Study Barbri, Study Barbri
All I hear is Study Barbri, from the moment I get up
till shades of night are falling
There isn’t any letup, I hear them calling, calling
Go up and do the outline and go down and do the essays, you can do them
both together
“Study Barbri.”

How lovely it would be
if I could live in my fantasy
But in the middle of my dreaming
they’re screaming
at me
Study Barbri

[Jack:]
Every time she’d find a minute
That’s the time that they begin it
Study Barbri, Study Barbri
[Stepsisters:] Study Barbri!

[Jack:]
Study Barbri, Study Barbri
Night and day it’s Study Barbri
Make the outline, finish the multiple choice
Watch the lectures, do the essays

[Girl mice:]
And the learning and the memorizing
They always keep her hopping

[Jack:]
She goes around in circles
Till she’s very, very dizzy
Still they holler

[Girl mice:]
Keep a-busy Study Barbri!
We can do it, we can do it
We can help her Study Barbri
We can make her learn so easy
There’s nothing to it, really
We’ll sing a song about it
Put some black law rules in it
When testing at the hall
She’ll be more prepared than all
with the lovely song we’ll sing to Study Barbri

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Gonna help her Study Barbri
Got no time to dilly-dally
We gotta get a-goin’

[Gus:]
I’ll read from the convisor!

[Jack:]
And I can do the MBE!

[Girl Mouse:]
Leave the outlining to the women
You go get some sleepin’
And we’ll make a lovely song to Study Barbri
[Girl mice and Gus:]
We’ll make a lovely song to Study Barbri

A big congrats to them.

http://kiisfm.com/common/perfectwedding2008/vote.html

Thanks for your support.

Voting began, September 12th and continues until Monday, September 22nd.
All you do is visit the page (http://kiisfm.com/common/perfectwedding2008/vote.html), click on the radio button for Nick and Jess, and then click “Vote Now.” You’ll only be able to vote once, unless you either disable your “cookies” or delete your “cookies” after each vote. Disabling cookies is the preferred method because it’s the easiest on you. But do whatever you feel most comfortable with. If you need instructions on how to do this, let me know and I can provide them.

Please take a second and follow the link to cast your vote and help them out.

A quick background on Nick and his fiance Jess, how I know them, and why you should visit their page and help them win:

Nick is one of my friends from Law School, and aside from being Canadian, he’s a really great guy.  Easy going, always nice, not like the usual douche bags you come across in law school…Sincerely a great guy.

Last February, he proposed to his girlfriend of almost 2 years.  The way they met and their relationship developed is a great story.  Back in the ’70s, both Nick and Jessica’s parents — no, not the same “Nick and Jessica” from TV — worked at Xerox.  Their families became great friends, and kept in close contact throughout the ’80s and early ’90s.  In 1996, however, Nick’s family moved to California (if you ask me, it was a good move, but you know, put a small bump in the development of a great relationship).  Although, their dad’s remained in contact, 1996 was the last time either family had seen each other.  Nearly 10 years later, Nick was working full time in southern California, and Jessica was finishing up her last year of University in Hawaii.  While on her last Christmas break of undergrad, Jessica and her parents decided to take a two-week vacation in California (maybe we should call this “when the stars aligned”).  Jessica’s dad called up a long lost friend — Nick’s dad — and arranged for the two families to meet up for dinner.  Neither Jessica nor Nick knew that the other was going to be there, and both had only vague memories of each other. However, when Nick walked into the room to greet “the St. James family,” he saw Jess, and it was love at first sight.  They chatted all night long and arranged to meet up the next day, which was Jess’s last day in California.  The next night they had an amazing date but a very tearful goodbye when the night ended — Jess was going back to Hawaii … for good.  However, Nick and Jess remained in contact throughout the following months, and later that Summer, Jessica decided to attended Pepperdine University to get her Masters in Education (which happens to be where Nick and I go to law school, I know, you’re shocked).  Now, Nick is finishing up Law School and Jessica is starting her 2nd year of teaching High School Biology.  They are, of course, still madly in love, and still in shock that they managed to find each other after all those years.  I should probably add that they are absolutely adorable together…  Really.

Anyway, after Nick proposed, Jess accepted, and they started planning their wedding, they heard about the KIIS FM wedding contest.  They have an amazing back story and really deserve to have a beautiful wedding that they wouldn’t be able to give themselves on the budget of a law student and high school teacher.  The way it works is each couple creates a “couple’s page” and detail why THEY are the “perfect couple.”  Nick and Jess have made their page and would really appreciate your support.  They have until the 29th to get as much page activity as possible to wow the judges. So GO TO their couple’s page: http://vipnetwork.kiisfm.com/future_looks.  If you want to go the extra mile… LEAVE COMMENTS!!

After the 29th, the judges will announce between 10 and 20 finalists.  Then the voting period begins.  Lets hope they make it so I can let you guys know to vote daily!!

Thanks a lot everybody.  Your support is much appreciate by both myself and Nick and Jess.

Here are the instructions on becoming a KIIS VIP member:

You can try on your own by just signing up and playing around with it.  However, a lot of people have been having problems with that route.  So, this is the easiest way to do it: 1) visit their page  (http://vipnetwork.kiisfm.com/future_looks) and click the “Sign-up”  link on the top-right, 2) after signing  up, you’ll receive an e-mail  confirmation, 3) go back to their page  (http://vipnetwork.kiisfm.com/future_looks) and click the “Login” link on the top-right, 4) you’ll be redirected to a “Profile Wizard” page,  5) all you have to do is click “Launch” next to “Upload Photo” — you can select a default cartoon avatar if you don’t want to upload an actual photo — and also click “Launch” next to “Create a Profile” — on this next page, all you do is click “Save Changes.”  At that point, your account is all set up.  When you go back to their page, you can now rate their blogs and pictures (by clicking the stars beneath), and you can leave comments on their blogs, photos, and general page.  As a side note, some people have still experienced problems leaving comments, etc. after signing up, but this issue is usually resolved by just waiting and logging in after a few hours of creating the profile.  One last thing I strongly suggest is adding them as a friend and joining their group.  To do that, find the user “jessandnick” by searching under the “People” link to the right of the “VIP Network” logo on any vipnetwork.kiisfm.com page.  When you find “jessandnick” click “Add Friend” and then send them a message.

Thanks again.

Now I’m back to playing videogames, watching tv, sleeping, and blogging.

Speaking of games, for those of you who play word games, you should check out this site.  The guy who runs the site is a talented programmer who just put up a script that solves word scramble puzzles.

Check it out…. great for cheating in scrabble too :-p

 No posts for the next week and a half.  Sorry.

I think to myself “well thats strange, its never powered up by itself BEFORE”

A few minutes later the next screen says something to the effect of “Just a few more minutes…”

Ok, you’ve totally interrupted my viewing experience, thanks Tivo.

I look up 5 minutes later and it says “Installing an important sevice update”

Ok, fine, this sounds legitimate…

A few minutes later, I get this AWESOME message “Preparing the service update. This may take up to an hour, possibly longer”

WHAT?!?!?!?! Wait a second, I never asked to install anything, why are you ruining the rest of my night? Couldn’t you prompt me for this?

Next thing you’re going to tell me you had to reformat and you’ve lost all my season pass info and my recorded programs…. I guess in an hour or “possibly longer” we’ll find out.

:shakes fist at tivo:

Recently I began to research therapeutic programs, such as Three Springs Paint Rock Valley and a few local programs here in LA.  It is interesting in how these work to help kids be able to solve problems on their own.  Many a kid I grew up with could have used places like this to learn to make better choices.  These days everyone is obsessed with kids making better food choices, I wonder if they ever cover that….
