Helping the Unemployed

For alumni reading this, the law school got a new CSO director by the name of Michael Berry - former senior partner at Thompson & Knight, UT graduate, pharmacist, trial attorney, and subject of this welcome letter which ends:

He is a Dallas Cowboys fan and season ticket holder, plays guitar from time to time, knows a lot about the Beatles and likes to snack on Reese's Peanut Butter cups.

From Washington to Waco

In their first public appearance since leaving the White House, former President Bush and his wife took courtside seats at the Lady Bears basketball game against OU.

In Presidential firsts, this was W's first time back at Baylor since not giving us his library. In personal firsts, I regret not attending a womens basketball game.

Picture of a Picture

To celebrate being done with PC, the finishing class marched out into the sub-40 degree rain to take the group photo.

I bet they were excited about that.

SBA Restores My Faith in Government

Last quarter during finals -blaming a fiscal crisis and a lack of creativity- SBA fed its constituents a six day supply of cold pizza. This quarter the menu looks better:

Saturday: Breakfast & Pizza
Monday: Breakfast & Uncle Dan's BBQ
Tuesday: Breakfast & Wendy's
Wednesday: Breakfast & Pizza
Thursday: Breakfast & Uncle Dan BBQ
Friday: Breakfast & Fazoli's
As someone [Class Politician of East Northport Middle School, 1997] that campaigned around bringing Taco Bell and Wendy’s to my fellow 6th graders only to be thwarted by administration, logistics and the law, I congratulate SBA on its efforts.

P.S.
Interesting fact. Despite being both Math-Alete and Class Politician, Elect, I managed to remain celibate for a goodly number of years.

The Quarter System Has Its Flaws

The first PC related e-mail went out Friday, innocuously encouraging the 49 enrolled students to buy course packets no later than January 26th. Students that purchase online can expect delivery at the law school by January 30th.

On the WTF-timeline, that’s one day before this quarter's first final, seven days before the last, and ten days before the start of class.

Many Readers Leave This Website Disappointed

Since I stopped writing, a lot of hits have been coming from search engines. Below are a few of the phrases people input over the last month to get their curious-selves directed to FromMalibuToWaco:

men's pubic hair waco tx
shaving pubic hair waco tx
holds the record for the quickest sexual intercourse session at an average of three seconds
yoga + autofellate
why do some people float better than others?

porn filmed in Waco
Mark Spitz's bulge in his swimsuit [hint: it’s a penis –Ed.]
learn to autofellate
interspecies erotica: horse
best way to autofellate
pictures and techniques for manscaping the genitals
In other categories, Rory Brewton is the most searched for person [after Swanburg], Wild West is the most searched for bar, and only two people queried, “Did I ruin my life by coming to Baylor Law.”

Back . . . Sort of

Eleven weeks ago I whittled my whimsy for what seemed like the last time. The 6th quarter lacked excitement worth blogging about and 7th quarter was worse. So I rather than blog, I free wrote an un-publishable series a profanity infused short stories, played golf, and slept.

Today, on the eve of PC, things are about to change.

I’m returning to blogging on the condition that the site will be set to private [mostly to protect my job prospects and PC partner.] If you’re interested in academic sadomasochism from the student’s perspective, e-mail me within the next week at Jonathan_Swanburg@baylor.edu and I’ll send you an invite.
