OMG

Okay, so I love Calvin and Hobbes, I even have a paper mache Calvin that I made in high school (my friend made Hobbes) that I am very attached to and refuse to allow my mother to throw away.  But this is a little disturbing.

Have you ever thought about the phrase, "As a matter of fact…"?

I feel like it is a phrase that is used quite often but never really thought about. Because if I use the phrase in a conversation, it is totally different than when Wells uses the phrase in his Con Law lecture.

"As a matter of fact I did take a shower yesterday."

"As a matter of fact in the abortion cases the scientific evidence of the trimester structure…."

I don’t think I am making much sense, but think about the phrase. I never thought about where it came from, but it is legal jargon being thrown around in real life. I don’t know how I feel about that, I get enough legal jargon in my pretend life – class.

I take this sort of thing pretty seriously.

Okay, so one of my best friends in the law school is the vending machine in the basement. I pay a lot of attention to the vending machine, and visit almost every day. Sometimes the vending machine gives me free stuff.

I don’t see the guy that fills up the vending machine very often, I see the coca-cola man a lot, and we are pretty good friends. But this morning I did get a chance to run into the vending machine man. And let me tell you, he hurt my feelings. All I wanted to do was buy some orange crackers, and he told me that I would just have to wait, in a tone that led me to believe that it would be a while. He didn’t even turn around to speak to me, he just acted like I was being an absurd child.

I’m not an overly sensitive individual, but sometimes people use an especially ugly tone of voice that cuts me to the bone. I was already late to class, so I had to leave, feeling chastised and without my orange crackers that I eat almost every day. And it stung a little.
