I. Return to Bee Busters
   I stopped by Bee Busters today to see what was going on. At the time technician Bobby was lollygagging about in the garage so I played pingpong with him for awhile on their new pingpong table. Eventually owner Dave and other technicial Jeremy showed up. Senior technician Ryan was on vacation (office Amy was also about).
   In addition to the various random stuff they had in the garage before (such as a spa and a go cart, among many other things), they have recently added a dirt-bike, dart-board, antique couch, pingpong table, and, most frivolously, an intercomm between the office and break room. Additionally apparently Dave intends to start experimenting with brewing at his place. For Christmas this year Dave got them all either ipods or nice digital cameras.
   Dave was feeling rather irked because a reporter was supposed to come by (as usual), but kept putting off her arrival due to excuses such as "they just found the body!" (apparently another story she was working on). On Saturday Bee Busters is having an open house, so if you're in the area and want to see the Bee Cave in all its glory you should come by.


II. Phi Alpha Delta UCI
   Later this evening I hopped on over to UCI (which is only about 15 min from Mission Viejo) to attend a meeting of their chapter of Phi Alpha Delta. They had a defense attorney from San Diego guest speaking, it was pretty interesting. I got his card, he was interested in having me shadow him for a day next time I'm down there, so that was very successful.
   Tomorrow PhAD UCI is participating in a dodgeball tournament or something. I picture it being like the movie. On Sunday they're meeting up with Phi Alpha Delta UCLA up in UCLA-land and I'm probably going to join them on that adventure.



III. Judicial Adventures at UCI
   The Assistant Chair of the ASUCI Judicial Council (the equivalent of the Vice Chief Justice of the ASUCD Court) is in Phi Alpha Delta so I met her tonight and talked to her about that. Apparently, THEY get PAID. Council members get $100 a month, the Assistant Chair $200 a month, and the Chair $300! AND, they haven't even met yet this quarter!
   OUR entire Court just recently got a $100 budget, for the year. That works out to about a buck twenty-three per justice per month.


   In other news, there are about 18 hours remaining until I become possibly the first person ever to reach the end of the four year term limit for the court.
   I'm expecting this to be a very dramatic quarter in ASUCD, and as such I intend to still attempt to cover developments. As such, insiders, make sure to serve me up your steaming hot scoops of gossip. Reporters, unlose my phone number, I'm still the most qualified expert on ASUCD, in possession of unrivaled perspective from five years of unaligned involvement, and finally free to express opinionated observations!
