Are you mocking my champagne comedy?

My friend (a seargent in the DC police) died suddenly in the line of duty Sunday, at the age of 37. He had a daughter that he was estranged from for the last few years. She is getting ready to go to college and my friend's girlfriend urged him to start speaking to her again for the last few weeks...but we don't know if he ever spoke to her before he died.

He had so much going on, was doing so well, loved life and his job, had just been promoted in February, and had just signed the contract to buy a house. He was fearless, well-respected, and a good man.

and now he's gone. It's surreal.

Yeah, that's one reason why Canada and the U.K. are my comparative case studies for the diss; you can always find the relevant research and cases in English.

I would totally rock at an Olympic Beer Drinking Event. Not to brag or anything but this one night i polished off 8 pitchers in an evening. I think i can give world class drinking a go at it.

How was the wedding and new england by the way?

Consarnit!
Hurry up!
There's no such thing as 1/3-of-a-lawyer jokes!

That's a cool story. (Which label was that?)

By the way, someone we know seems to be pissing people off.

Yeah I took my current position because it offered the best health care I could find and my wife had just had a heart attack. I have been stuck here ever since. The jobs I want would require a pay cut, the jobs that pay more I will never want. I should have gone to grad school. I just want to climb into my Ivory tower and corrupt the young.

Oh, I wouldn't say you're getting older, rather you're just getting a bit more strategic about your debauchery.

Good luck on your last examination of the term.

And post a playlist from your DJing stint!

I have a friend that likes to wear muumuus, and she's only 21.
You from the city that care forgot, or are you a student from outta town?

Hahaha.... Lane Bryant? The company my mother works for owns them. I've seen the catalog... scary stuff.

Yeah, this was my first move in two years, which is the longest I've ever been in the same place since I moved out of my parent's house 9 years ago. I'm not looking forward to moving again, it's such an ordeal. But like you said, I know it will happen eventually. I'm just hoping that by that point I'll have actually made some money, and just pay people to do it for me.

Glad my response for friends request is working out for you. It's a keeper.

I never reeeeeeaally went away.

I did travel, but I'm too damn addicted not to go down into the computer lab of where I was staying and post each evening. *sigh*

Where are my priorities ...

So did you get cleaned up?

you know, the funny thing is, The Painter of Light got his start doing a couple of those "how to sketch..." books. me and my printmaking prof. used to rail on and on about him. he has people working for him whose sole jobe is to paint on the high-gloss paint so that the "Light" shows up. they're called...are you ready for this?

illuminators!

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! i think that is the funniest thing EVER!

the other thing is, notice how none of the cons even challenged that remark. they DO love him! or else have no idea he's the one that does the paintings hanging in their bathrooms.

that is a bad pun.
I think fre 405 and 406 have exceptions so I can introduce that at trial

in other news
yay serge gainesbourg

Getting bombarded with idiotic friend requests, eh? I get spurts of that too - every once in a while like five members who I've never heard of or seen before will send me a friend request. I usually write them a reply saying "Thanks for the friend request! I'll leave it open, but I just wanted to let you know that I usually like either meet someone in person or go back and forth a little on journals before I accept a friend request." I don't think I've ever gotten a reply from any of them.

If your son is old enough, then a hermit crab would be a good, cheap pet. Hermit crabs are tough and require little care.

OR... you can find a dog park every now and then to let your son play with other folks' dogs.

In university, I adopted other folks' dogs. My friends who owned dogs were usually busy students like me, so they didn't mind if I swung by to take their apartment-cramped canines for a walk every now and then.

You know, Great Danes are actually good apartment dogs. Very protective of their owner[s]. They have small hearts, mostly, they lounge.

Well if you are in New Orleans at least it would be in a cool graveyard.

Ok...but um, where are your "grits"?

I wish I could think of a relevant "Mel"-like response, but alas I've got nothin'.

Best "humbling moment" EVER!

Good luck with finals! [shudder]

I suppose I really set myself up for that one.

These are law students who are saying that?

yipe.
