ASUCD v. Regents

   Last night a reference was added to the ASUCD Senate History page about a case filed by ASUCD vs the Regents. I poked around on Lexis-Nexis, but couldn't find such a case.
   This morning while at work at the Yolo Superior Court, I was thinking about this case. It suddenly occured to me that if such a case existed, it would have been filed with this very Court! I searched Jalan our computer database, but it didn't have anything previous to the early nineties, so I went back to working on the case index I was assembling. Where would I be able to find a case filed previous to computers?
   ...On a paper index I suppose -- and then I realized that was what I was working on. I found the case two pages from where I was already in the 880 page binder.

   Now that I had the case number I could go look up the actual case. Cases previous to 98 are kept across the street in "the Bunker," so I grabbed some cases that needed to be conveyed there anyway and headed out. This involves having security let me out the secret employee entrance, going across the street the sheriff's department annex, using my key to get from the entryway into the courtyard, unlocking gate leading down some stairs, unlocking door into lower levels, proceeding through the entirely manila hall and unlocking the door marked "evidence / property storage," to reveal shelves and shelves of forgotten cases. But alas they only went down to 1987 and it was an 83 case. So I have to retrace my steps.
   Later I find out that older cases have been taken offsite to McClellin Air Force Base (wtf?).
   Reportedly a summary of this case was discovered in the ASUCD Vice President's office (wtf?), so I guess I'll just have to be content with that for now.


In Other News: My car is reportedly repaired. Now I need to find a way to get it back from Roseville.. preferably tomorrow (Thursday) )=

Kitten Patrol

   My friend's page has recently begun displaying a bit weirdly. The grey background is new but not bad, however for some reason comments are now listed above entries instead of below them. Investigating this matter, I discovered that my account had been changed to the infamous S2 format. This means that TAGS work now for this livejournal. Fortunately I've been dutifully tagging entries since the option became available, however as of now only about 40% of the entries created previous to tagging have been tagged. Overall I'm glad the S2 format has been made available with the general appearance of the old one ... just wish the tag view page didn't look so ugly (and I tihnk its only displaying the most recent 20 entries with the specified tag or something).


Addendum: Adventures of the Kitten Patrol!!
   Around about 1:30am Kristy's roommate Chrissy came home and reported that she'd just seen a limping kitten near Olson Twin Hall. Kristy & I of course sprang into action and headed to the scene in her kittenmobile.
   I think we both thought our odds of actually finding the kitten were pretty low but we persevered and lo we found the kitten. Unfortunately, however, he was fast like fire and eluded us. He did however, look well enough nourished, so we concluded he could take care of himself and broke off the pursuit.
   On the way home we encountered yet another kitty. A siamese cat was batting at a plastic bag that was wrapped around a pole by the side of the road. We stopped and investigated. Cat appeared to be in good condition and with a collar, so the kitten patrol called it a night and returned to home base.


Random Fact of the Day:   Wikipedia recently brought my attention to the fact that the New York case Stambovsky v. Ackley, 169 A.D.2d 254 (NY App. Div. 1991) found a house to be legally haunted, thus making it the only legally haunted house in the United States (& probably the world).

   Three Years Ago Last Friday: Cornish Pasties - I discover the CoHo has cornish pasties. I've never found them there since. )=
   Three Years Ago Last Saturday: How My Cellphone Recharger Got Mailed To Alaska - True story: my cell phone recharger got mailed to Alaska by mistake. Also my friend Kristy convinces me to go to another class with her. It was strong sauce, we learned about chemical & biological weapons and things.
   Three Years Ago Last Sunday: Interviewing for Chief Justice Position - I interview for the position of Chief Justice of the ASUCD Supreme Court. Justice Bernstein also interviewed for the position, but of course I got it. I subsequently had Justice Bernstein removed. Additionally a "peace activist" attacked a College Republican at a peace rally -- while Fitzmorris was using a video camera. (Bernstein's removal was unrelated to his aspirations for the Office of Chief Justice)
   Three Years Ago Last Monday: The Chief Justiceship - I'm confirmed as the ASUCD Chief Justice, just in time to swear Sara Henry & Kalen Gallagher into office. Adrian confirms he's going to live with me the following year, he would turn out to be an awesome flatmate. Was trying to get Don as a flatmate but that didn't pan out. Also, hung out with Sharon¹.
   Three Years Ago Yesterday (Last Tuesday): The Undersproul - My friend Kat Isaacson shows up at a party at Chris Mays' place. Also I discover a treasure map indicating that there are tunnels under Olson/Sproul halls. Eventually I would make it into these tunnels. Also a certain girl continues to give completely mixed signals. It would have been much more preferable if she had simply said she wasn't interested instead of agreeing to dates and then coming up with extremely plausible reasons to cancel them. As a result our former friendship was destroyed & we've barely talked since.
