Volleyball !!

Dudes and Ladies,

I have finally acquired an application form for Marrika's Fall Volleyball League! We need ten people total, and we have to have two girls on the court whenever we play. The games are always at 10:00 in the evening, but we get the option of choosing the days we play: Monday and Tuesday (usually for really competitive teams), Tuesday and Wednesday (usually for moderately skilled teams), or Wednesday and Thursday (usually for teams that want to drink and have fun). I vote for the Wednesday/Thursday schedule. The league lasts for six weeks plus a champions tournament. The deadline is August 10th so please get back to me quickly. If your not in town and you want to play just tell me and I'll put your name down. There is an entrance fee (I think its about $10 a person... but I need to double check). I'll pay the upfront cost as long as people pay me back in a reasonable amount of time.

Also... I am accepting requests for the name of our team. I have already received requests for "The Diplocats" and "The Ball Slappers". The winning entry will be the one which is most awesome.

This will be a lot of fun... please sign up!

All the best,
Anthony

PS... I sent this to the listserve earlier this morning but it never got distributed. UK's email system is horrible.

Everyone Loves a Good Coup, Right?

Hey hey everyone!

So I'm reading on this whole issue in Honduras. And I honestly can't decide whether I'm for or against the coup. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on the matter. Usually, I would just hang out in the Van or student room and yell at people until I got an answer. Oh well, this is the next best alternative.

Also, I shan't be present for the first week of classes, as I am headed to INDIA! There's my adventure for the summer. More to come.

Hope life is going well for the rest of you.

Cheers,

Fancy.

An Update from the Wild and Wonderful WKY

Law Clerk Riley breaks rocks (right) while merciless lawyers observe

D.T. Riley here... Well it appears that many of our prestigious classmates are peppered all around the world at the moment, and I hope that everyone (no matter your location) is having an amazing summer. I myself opted for the ever so dangerous and thrilling law office in Western Kentucky.

Sure PJ and Adam are in Africa, Carly's in Eastern Europe, Frosty and Bald Patrick are in DC, and everyone else is off pursuing adventures of their own, but really folks, you're missing out on the party in Western Kentucky.

Just check out this picture of me at work in at the law firm (seen above). I don't know what more you could ask for. Of course, I don't really break rocks all day, but a picture of a memo factory wasn't available. I write like a mofo this summer and it often ends up buried beneath a pile of papers on a partner's desk and never gets read. But I suppose that is the life at the bottom of the totem pole!

I really hope everyone is having a great summer. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in the fall and hearing about all the amazing things you've been up to.

PS. I've decided that my life goal is to be like the guy this song is about. Too bad Patterson doesn't offer a course in 1830s Cowboy Lifestyles. This song is awesome too. That's right, WKY has made me rediscover my love of classic country music.

Online in İstanbul

You know I'm really here, because nowhere else can you dot capital İ's.

I've found Turkey is full of negros.  Now, that may sound racist, but I have been here for almost three weeks, and hanging with these American English teachers have taught me a thing or two about over generalizing.  That was part one of my summer.

Part 2 - I am working in a real office, trying to get American companies to come to İstanbul for free if they promise to take interns back with them.

Istanbul for free? Should not be a hard sell.
