a western ave bus tracker would save me the decision of "do i get off at western & congress and wait for anywhere between 1 and 40 minutes with the local gang bangers or do i ride the extra 20 minutes through the loop to division or damen and walk?"

she started going "EEEEEEEEEEEEE" at you, which seemed to either sooth you or otherwise make you want to stop ranting.

I find this hilarious for some reason.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

It was.

The book signing is Wednesday. I was wrong.

I have a huge zit on my nose, the kind that could stick around for awhile. I'd rather that I didn't.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 15:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Zit kills thread dead.

OKAY FINE STAY AWAY.

The most hilarious thing about the sonic conditioning is it makes Krista look like a fucking awesome genius. Either she's done it before, in which case she's a fucking genius, or she's so nuts that it was the first loony thing that occurred to her to distract John in public, in which case she's awesome.

Was that directed at me and John?

You whores better believe it was.

Seeing the sonic conditioning LIVE IN PERSON was what I imagine watching Dog Behaviorist Cesar Milan in action would be like. Jesse and I tried making a buzzing noise that is fun to make when people are trying to bowl but that didn't work.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I am starting to feel kind of down but I think it's just because I'm sleepy, kind of hungry, bored to death, and f'n lazy.

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Can we stop pretending that the anonymous person Jesse keeps quoting isn't Courtney?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I put a few photos from my trip home on my flickr page (sorry Ottoman). They're of my family's cottage and mostly feature me and/or my mom standing around.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Wasn't that a given? It's not so much "pretending" as "ignoring".

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

It isn't Courtney.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

You buncha know-nothing know-it-alls.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I bet my cousin and his bf will be at the Amy Sedaris reading.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't get "Lance Rock." Is it a made-up homo name?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Sounds like a POWER NAME to me.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:20 (seventeen years ago) link

He is a Beyond the Valley of the Dolls character.

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

My BMI is normal. Not high or low, just normal. 20.1
WEREN'T YOU JUST DYING TO KNOW MY BMI?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

You know, like Lance Loud + Rock Hudson.

John: Homer, what have you got against gays?

Homer: You know! It's not... usual. If there was a law, it'd be against it!

Marge: Oh Homer, please! You're embarrassing yourself.

Homer: No I'm not, Marge! They're embarrassing me. They're embarrassing America. They turned the Navy into a floating joke. They ruined all our best names like Bruce, and Lance, and Julian. Those were the toughest names we had!

Is it still considered meta-humor if we're not actually on ilx?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

What's the haps? I'm bored.

I'm in class and they are setting up a video called "Revitalizing the Lawyer-Poet: What Lawyers Can Learn from Rock and Roll" and I am not optimistic.

No idea who the first dude is.

As a matter of fact, whatever good will I started with today is slowly unraveling with every continued second of this movie.

Plus this movie used Bill Clinton and Alberto motherfucking Gonzales as examples of why attorneys are well-suited professionally and ethically to serve as leaders.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

HA!

Nick just called but there was a meeting going on behind me (glass walls and they never shut the door) AND a guy came in for another meeting. Way to ruin my personal life, folks! I'm trying to gab on the phone here!

Also the narrator makes Peter Francis Geraci look like John Stewart. He makes Ben Stein look like... somebody much more excitable than Ben Stein.

Richard Simmons.

Here are some choice quotes from the film:

"Like rock, legal work is full of power and passion."

"Like rock troubadours, we are doing our job. We are at the same time stewards of the establishment and it's demanding critics."

"The democratic vision of rock and roll is a tough one for lawyers, but if we want to rock, it's got to be part of the package."

These quotes were illustrated with in-concert clips of Jimi Hendrix. After the movie, a student asked, "Did this movie just tell us that if we do drugs, we'll be better lawyers?"

Special thanks to Dan Martin for staying on IM with me during my time of need.

Can someone please recommend some other radio programs I could download that are like TAL but not TAL? Is there such a thing? I listened to the finalists of the Third Coast Fest. on Thanksgiving, and that was pretty fun, they were good, but I was wondering if there is more stuff out there that I could download or buy individual eps or something. You know, for pedagogical purposes.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess Car Talk wouldn't qualify, huh? I love Car Talk. but I don't even know if you can download it.

Fun facts about attorneys:

* 15-18% of attorneys will have substance abuse problem vs. 10% of general population.
* Over 1/3 of attorneys say they are dissatisfied and would choose another profession if they could.
* Attorneys have the highest rates of depression and suicide of any profession.

Amanda! How timely! Someone on another board just recommended this program: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/

I haven't listened to it yet but I'm gonna.
