| I seem to hit a stretch of bad luck every year. I'm going to keep track and see if it happens again next year. Here is a list:
two weeks ago on a highway, a car kicked up a board and it flew straight into Shifty, cracking his bumper...
8/30 - lost my driver's license at the security check-point of LAX
8/30 - got hit from behind by a car, and I hit the car in front of me. The two other cars were SUVs, and mine was the only one that sustained damage.
9/2 - 3pm flight got cancelled
9/2 - Got home at 9pm. Everyone in my apt complex was sitting outside due to a blackout. I had dinner in the dark on my porch

A: "medium"

I've been had... $0.49 had... AND, i substituted fries with a baked potato, so that didn't get super sized...

| The auction was the Bomb! Man, I never thought raising money was so easy. Dinner outings and stuff went for hundreds of dollars easily. There was a live auction and a silent one. Below are some live auctions items and roughly how much they went for:
Playing trivia pursuit with the librarian: $300
Lakers game with the dean: $700
Dinner for 10 with our Torts prof: $900
Shopping with the Dean & his familiy: $400
Prof. washing your car: $150 (that was one the earlier ones.. quite sad)
Playing Taboo with our Contracts Prof and Torts Prof: $400
I think you get the idea. AFter the official live auction was over, it was time to auction off students. The guys ranged from $100-$200 usually (I think $200 was the max), but the girls went from $300-$1100!! ONE DATE!! No Lakers game, no dinner, just a date!! The $1100 was an outlier though; the more normal range went from $300-$600. That girl also showed more skin than the rest though:) There were of course very sad and awkward moments when a group of girls couldn't get more than $100/girl...(e.g. they'll auction off a group of 3 girls, but the price will only go up to around $300). It was simply a bad idea to auction off groups of people for dating purposes.
The silent auction consisted of mostly crap: gift baskets, PS2 games, oooold books (one crappy book's min bid was $100), oooold posters, etc. No one bid on that $15,000 bourbon:)
Lastly, I won something! I won Cranium (Turbo Edition) for $75! That was my first ever auction win (well, this was my first auction)! I've never played Cranium before, so I think it was a worthwhile buy (I was going to bid some some crap, like the books, if I couldn't find anything to bid on). So yeah, I left with something:D

Have an evening on the town with “Events Girls” Jill Nordahl and Sabrina Montes. Want a date with 2 beautiful women at once? Now is your chance! ($60)

An evening of fun without torts or contracts: dinner and a game of Taboo! for up to 6 students with Professor Gross and Professor Keating ($60)
