have to make this quick because she needs to check her e-mail. She came in from Paris last night via Montreal without much of an issue. Seeing her was amazing, I guess all of the internet and snail mail communications for the past year or so helped in that regard. Even though we have not spent any time together in the last seven (7) years... Read More
My Evidence Professor, (a woman) just shared this story about being a public defender in the 1970's. She is the attorney cross-examining the witness as described below. We come in part way through:
Attorney: You two were drinking all that day?
Witness: That's right darlin'.
Attorney: But you said earlier that you had only had one drink that day?
Witness: It was one looong drink... Read More
Evidence just started kicking my ass tonight. Stupid Washington v. Crawford . Hearsay was sooo easy up until now. Oh well, I'll figure it out tomorrow after a little sleep. For now though, I am going to go to bed, and either read the New Yorker's Summer Fiction Issue (finally), or listen to Neil Gaiman reading his Hugo Award winning A Study in Emerald.... Read More
Wait ... you haven't drunk diesel? And you haven't read Lovecraft?
Really, Fernet and Gaiman doesn't stand up to diesel and Lovecraft. Or just Lovecraft.
DeusExMachina said:
Yeah. The one, and only time I have had Fernet is when I did a shot with one of my favorite bartenders. Of course, I would drink diesel if she put it in front of me. *swoon*.
It's been a while for me. I read all of it I could get my hands on as a kid. The first Lovecraft book I ever read was The Colour out of Space and I remember both being kind on unnerved by it and going back to read it two or three more times. The Dunwich Horror is probably the best known although I don't recall it having much of an impact on me.
Just chugged cup of coffee, crammed my backpack full of books, and loaded my ipod to the gills.
Now I just have to refill my water bottle and grab my sunglasses, and I am off to Santa Barbara for the weekend.
So much has happened in the past few weeks that if I tried to sum it up right here, I would go into some sort of auto-induced-flashback montage-catatonic state, and then this blog would never get updated.
I just got back from San Diego on Monday, where this was my view for 3 days and 4 nights, and proceeded to cruise through my 2nd week... Read More
San diego sounds nice. Im going to LA in a week or so. Cant wait. Amoebapalooza is when all the employees at amoeba put bands together and make asses of themselves. Its going to be at uptown in oaklandia.
sentiment of my last blog would turn out to be. The last couple of days of my life have been full of dancing, both literally and figuratively, and I feel as though I have gone through an energetic One-Eighty because of it. It is amazing what you can accomplish if you let go... Read More
To-night I close my eyes and see
A strange procession passing me --
The years before I saw your face
Go by me with a wistful grace;
They pass, the sensitive, shy years,
As one who strives to dance, half blind with tears.
The years went by and never knew
That each one brought me nearer you;
Their path was narrow and apart
And yet it led me to your heart --
Oh, sensitive, shy years, oh, lonely years,
That strove to sing with voices drowned in tears.

Glad you have some joy!
Life the last couple of days has been simultaneously awesome and utter crap. It seems as though a lot of stuff around me (read: my friends) are coming undone at the seams, and it has started to wear on me over the last 48hrs pretty heavy. What is so annoying about the whole thing is that I realized today that it is kinda distracting me... Read More
Wow, first day of break, and I am up at 6.30. Without setting an alarm. I can usually barely get up by 10.30 with an alarm when in school. It must be all of the excitement to get my vacay started. W00t!
Thanks for your last comment. My theory is to keep up the subtle, shameless charm and be patient while she circles in and out. She'll like it. It's tough to telegraph that she's something special to you, but not alone in that category. Above all, never doubt yourself for a second. Steady as she goes, Cap'n.
When I was a kid I was into Hulk, that's it. I'm enjoying meeting these other superheroes as Marvel rolls them out. I love the Stan Lee cameos. Hef!
Lap up les vaccances, baby. Wanna hear something strange? After freelancing for the past year, I'm about to get a real job again where I have to be up on time and go somewhere in the morning with, you know, more than slippers and a ratty bathrobe on, and I'm craving it like I once did a vacation. Now that feeling may last only a week, but I think I'll have the perspective with me always. I have and will work with some great characters, and in the end it's such people who shape our lives. Hum, I like that and think I'll post it. I've not ever felt that way about my alma mater, so school's gotta be the exception. And then there's the CA bar -- my freakin' brilliant cousin's on his second go-'round. Sheesh. Hat's off to you.
