too much to do

ciroccojI wish my head were more "together" today, because I've got a hell of a lot of work to do and I'd really like to be able to concentrate on it.
Property: Finders
Contracts
Halloween costumes: figure out how much of each cloth I need.
Daniel's school: get pledges for Walkathon and fill out the school picture request form.
I read a couple of moderately interesting cases for Contracts. Well, actually, the cases were deadly dull, but what was kind of interesting was that they were about breaches of contract. Anglia TV v. Robert Reid, and Warner Bros. v. Nelson.
For those who don't know (I didn't), Robert Reid was the guy who played the dad on the Brady Bunch. And Ms. Nelson was Bette Davis. Reid signed up to do a play for Anglia TV in the UK, then backed out to do a different job in the US, and Davis signed a contract that she would only work for Warner, then went to do a job for somebody else in the UK.
Later Edit:
If anybody can decipher this, please let me know what the hell it means.
(parag 7) The conclusion to be drawn from the authorities is that, where a contract of personal service contains negative covenants the enforcement of which will not amount either to a decree of specific performance of the positive covenant of the contract or to the giving of a decree under which the defendant must either remain idle or perform those positive covenants, the Court will enforce those negative covenants, but this is subject to a fruther consideration. And injunction is a discretionary remedy, and the Court in granting it may limit it to what the Court considers reasonable in all the circumstance of the case...
