Run-ins with the reindeer man

There's this guy who shops at Borders who everyone there calls "Reindeer man." The name has something to do with during the christmas season, he wears a hat with antlers on it. Or something. I have to admit, I've never seen the hat myself. I have, however, seen the man. And he is certainly sufficiently strange to warrant notice. And he's sitting behind me right now, kinda mumbling to himself occasionally. He was here on Saturday too (at the Solon library). I'm don't know what it is about him, but he's just so curious and odd. Curiouser and curiouser indeed.

Anyway, i've recently gotten quite terrified of the bar. Today is property. The lecture is going well so far, but who knows what's going to happen down the road. The Contracts lecture went well too, but I just don't seem to have a grasp on it yet for the bar questions. Thursday is supposed to be a practice day 1 of the exam day. I'm nervous. I may push it back till friday, but i'm realy going ot cram so I can do it by thurday.

I linked another video today. I told andrew about it, and I think he probably watched. It's pretty excellent. Its a cover of El Scorcho (originally by Weezer) that's being done by Alderin Guerro and some other guy. I've seen a bunch of videos that Alderin Guerrero (the guy on the left) before, and he's just so enjoyable. His uke playing has some a happy, light quality to it....and his covers are faithful to the original and his own at the same time.

El Scorcho itself is a great song. I'd like to learn how to play it. It's off of Pinkerton, everyones favorite Weezer album (including mine). Perhaps the reason people love it so much is that it is very, very honest and confessional. It's also quite sad. Rivers Cuomo was basically writing about his life at the time, which was confused, lonley, but in the middle of great success. At least, that's my take on the album.
