God, I haven't updated since like 2005 or something.

Part of the reason is that there's so much to update that it's hard to encapsulate in a few pithy sentences and I don't really feel like Unleashing the Verbosity. Whatever. I'll keep it short and snappy:

-Got a phone call this evening asking me to fly down to LA to sit second chair at a deposition because the (very experienced) lawyer doing first chair didn't think she could do it without me. Then she gave me the firm credit card and told me to get down there as soon as I could to help her prep. I ARE SERIOUS LAWYER.

-I have worked for the last 22 days straight. I had two days in there that I only billed a couple of hours, but beyond that it's been actual 7-12 hour days. Again, I ARE SERIOUS LAWYER.

-There's more to it, but the short of all this I ARE SERIOUS LAWYER stuff is that I've been kicking ass on a tremendous level. This feels good. I am enjoying this. It's odd because I haven't worked this hard since I was studying for the bar and I generally don't like to work that hard, but... this, I like. This, I could get used to.

-This, is fantastic:


-Saw Stepbrothers last night. Sucked.

-Tried to match livers with Timmy last night. Sucked.

-Bought NCAA Football 09. Anti-Sucked.

-The really, really, REALLY big news is that Necia is knee-deep in applications to get out here. The process has started in earnest and that's very, truly exciting. She even has a call-back interview coming up. Digits are most definitely folded over one-another.

-WHY MUST I ALWAYS BITE MY LIP IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE!? WHY MUST MY LOWER CANINES BE SO SHARP!? Seriously, I'm going to cut my lip to ribbons one day and that is going to piss me right off.

-I know I've mentioned this feeling before in past journals, but I truly do find myself with a sense of being close to something excellent. The anticipation is there and it drives me to push harder and harder. It's not difficult to go to work knowing that my time is paying off. It's not hard to wait for the lady when she's trying so hard to get here soon. It's not a problem at all.

-LA tomorrow. Alcatraz this weekend. Salt Lake in two weeks. Work and fun in between. Things is good.

I had to read that about four times before I got it. Sigh. robot

Nope, White Noise is by Don DeLillo and it's a dark comedy about people whose only spirituality is consumerism.

Just announced tonight, this makes me want to die:

The Pistons have agreed to terms with unrestricted free-agent power forward Kwame Brown, the 2001 No. 1 pick who has had a star-crossed career.

A team source confirmed the deal is for two years at $4 million per season. He made nearly $9.1 million last season, the final year of a three-year deal.

Kudos on the ass-kicking. Glad things are going well for you.

Mostly I came here to tell you to work on getting out of the stone age with your gadgetry and getting a gaming system that can both: a) connect to the internet and b) play NCAA09. I've got a hankerin' to set up an online dynasty league, but I don't want to do it with random schmucks.

Congrats on kicking ass for the LAW.

"Saw Stepbrothers last night. Sucked." Really? Fuck. I was supposed to see it at the drive in this weekend. Ah, well. If all goes well I'll be making out anyway, who cares about the movie?

I've also learned that intent to harm doesn't fulfill the intent element of a battery tort, and so begins my insanity.

Man, I know that feeling. I have it to, with a novel I'm close to finishing. I just wish I had the feeling for something that paid me money at this very moment.

And the only person I've been matching livers with lately is myself; so far I've lost every time.

Hey there. Look's like I'm back. My membership lapsed and I had figured maybe that was a good thing in terms of using my time wisely--then I realized that's a losing battle anyway, so here I am. I will indeed be joining your now not-so-new group. Glad to hear you are enjoying being serious lawyer. Me less so these days, but we'll see--got some applications in the works.

dude I miss you. I need some Clint assgrabs or something.

Hey I need legal advice... well for someone on my staff anyway. And free. Cause that is how I roll. Until payday at least. So here is the deal. She is 21, has 2 kids with this dude. They are not married, have never been married. He is in the picture still. But his family is insane and she is worried about his parents snatching her kids. So she is thinking about taking off in the middle of the night with the kids, leaving him here and moving back to WA where her family is. Bottom line... when parents aren't married, or divorced and had a custody hearing of any sort at any time, how does custody work?

I know right. The account just magically appeared after some tech support from Bean and a credit card transaction.
