I'm sitting in library B1 and outlining for Prof. Shelanski's Antitrust course and can't help but start to think about him. He's kind of unique here. Maybe it's because he has come across the whole nation from Berkely. He is totally smart, meticulous, moderately sarcastic, bit of fun, reminding you what an intellectual peon you are.

 

I will never forget that piece of joke he delivered on class 13, March 5 at which I had a good laugh. That's why I keep it down. Maybe I'm a weirdo too.

 

I'm outlining when I think I sure will miss this guy.

 

--------------------------------------------

I'll tell you a joke about compatibility and unreasonable bosses in the law firms.

 

When I was a lawyer in early 1990s, practicing in Washington DC, we had a real rush on a big case. The partner for whom I was working sent me a document in a truly bizarre work processing format, which if called upon the Word, and it turned into gibberish, absolutely nonsense. So I spent hours sorting out this document by basically re-typing the thing and sent back to him. He did the supervisions and again turned it into gibberish.

 

So I called him up and I said, “what program are you using?”

 

When I said it was Word I was using for the firm, he said, “Word is for idiots. When I was in MIT, we used, you know, Ky-R equation writer and it’s the best ever thing I’m using.”

 

I said, “well, tell you what, you can spend your Saturday coming here to translate your gibberish to something comprehensible cauz I can’t read it.”

 

And he said to me, quote and quote, “Really! These are both pieces of software. Software had code and logic. Open it up, get into it, and MAKE THEM WORK.”

 

I immediately wrote that down cauz I couldn’t believe it. I thought it’s quite amazing. This guy is a really logical guy. He’s bit of that guy getting his computer science from MIT before becoming a lawyer.

 

So I said, “OK, I’m goanna do this.” So I went to his computer and he had this software in his computer in his office. So I just saved a copy of this program and started to type stuff, code, all kinds of gibberish and waited for Monday morning.

 

Around 9:30 I heard a “Waaaaa”. So I peered and thought, “BOSS, you know, it’s software! Just code! Just logic! Put it up and get into it, man!”

 

…

 

That’s why I teach today, folks.

Fine. 'm bored of this securities stuff. Recently I heard & saw several pieces of comments from males toward their girl friends and wife. Below are some, among others:

 

1. This is a comment by a post-doc of physics towards his wife, a friend of mine:

 

"My wife YH is a lawyer. We got married in December, 2001."

Well, somehow I've read out a tad of pride & appreciation from it?

2. A comment from a popular, decent, handsome male friend on his girl friend who's thousands of miles away:

"My girl friend is a real, good person."

He spoke slowly, and looked so sincere. It's sweet.

3. So here comes the most beautiful, moving hit, from a friend's friend:

"I feel really, truly, fortunate to be engaged to A. She really is my better half. I've learned a lot from her, including how to organize my thoughts and life. She has taught me the joy of living, of how to understand people, and of not being quite a misanthrope. Being with her is really one of the highlights of my life."

Gee, I'm speechless.

I dreamed about her last night. It was an anomaly. I since have been absolutely straight, and I believe she is living a happy life now. Flashback of the dream warned me that I might go insane due to the finals or some kind of emotion risk on the other hand.

 

In the dream she moved to somewhere in the US (weird) with her husband (odd too) so I went to pay her a visit.

 

The door was open. I could see patches of sunlight in the room. She stood in the dining room, casting her eyes on me. She looked pale, skinny and fragile. But when she recognized me, her face beamed with affectionate joy. We then sat in the light and gossiped about each and every girlish thing we shared.

 

Then the scene changed. As if my visual angle swooped down from nowhere, I saw her husband. He had a nice figure. But he was obviously not in a good mood somehow. In a sudden he jumped to his feet and stormed out of the room, which frightened me.

 

she went mad, dashing to the stair well and shouted his name. Her tears flooded over her beautiful face. "Oh, no, my God, no," She cried desperately. I was blindsided. In an impulse I held to her like a crucifix. I cried, "Get a grip, please! Take a deep breath!" But she couldn't listen to me. She was shivering, which delivered me a sign that her world was collapsing. I felt stifled and excruciated. At last I cried like a real mad person, "no, (her name), no, I love you, I love you, I love you!"

 

And that was the moment I was startled awake with uncontrolled tears rolling down my cheek.
