Cali Girl in NYC

I've lived in California for 24 years, and decided to move clear across the country for law school. this will be where all can come to laugh at me as i die in the humidity and freeze in the snow as my california body adjusts to life in new york city...through this blog, i hope to have everyone else suffer just a little with me as i make my way through law school

Law versus....money

while it's true that in most cases, you think of law, then you think of lawyers, then you think of money. (by the by, if any of you are clinging desperately to my friendship because you think im going to be rich in a few years, you are sadly mistaken. im so not going to be. and even if i were...why would i share with YOU?) =)
anyways, today, paris hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail. well, yes, im sure its some sort of high-class jail for white-collar criminals. and it's not going to be all THAT much of a hell for her, but seriously: who saw this coming?!
i was reading on cnn.com yesterday (why cnn feels the need to report on celebrities i'll never know) that prosecutors were asking, among other things, for the 45 day jail sentence. my first thought? oh she will buy her way out of this one. apparently, both paris and her mother (lovely woman i imagine) thought so, too.
paris' mom, when the prosecutors stated their request today in court, LAUGHED OUT LOUD. you know she was thinking, "right. like they'd give a hilton jail time. we're FAR too important. and rich. and beautiful. and rich. and famous. and rich." but, the sad ol hag was wrong. craziness.
and paris mom when the verdict was read? oh, she blurted out, "can i have your autograph" to the judge. i interpret that as meaning, "i cant believe you just went against the hiltons. this is the end of your career, buck-o."


oh, and paris arrived 10 minutes late. way to show respect to a judge who is holding a 45-day jail sentence in teh palm of his hands.
i like this judge. i mean, i dont know anything else he's done, but whenever judges show some spine and stand up to these celebrities (im sorry, HOW many of these stars are arrested for DUIs and then they just get away with it? or anything else. people cater to them because...god knows why. my god it makes me sick), i love it.
so, hurrah for the legal system.
