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.

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.

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.

aw, Jenny! you shall be a happy attorney, though!

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Eh, not Car Talk. I want "interesting stories" that "stimulate conversation." Documentary radio.

Here's a good place to start, though.

Ok. Thankee. I need some new material. I didn't think I would run out so quickly, but I'm losing steam.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

That wasn't a link to Cartalk, just FYI. It's to a program call Radio Lab:

Radio Lab® is an investigation. Each episode is a patchwork of people, sounds, stories and experiences centered around One Big Idea. On RadioLab, science bumps into culture... information sounds like music.

Radio Lab is designed for listeners who demand skepticism but appreciate wonder, who are curious about the world but who also want to be moved and surprised.

As much as people hate on hipsters, a lot of them are pretty hot.

okay, I just made an appointment for tomorrow. and I told them you referred me, Jenny. yay!

An old snaggletoothed barmaid in Berkeley, Calif., took no small delight in describing to me what a merkin was.

I'm bummed I couldn't keep the domino effect going. :(

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

domino effect? I didn't see your post about Orbit Sal0n until after I made the appointment, John. but if I ever get my hair cut again, I will totally try it. Chicago, all of you whom I have met have lovely hair and I completely trust your recommendations.

pretty!

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

(Leanne is friends with my brother's ex. Therefore my brother sees her [or at least he did when he lived in Chicago]. Therefore I see her. Therefore Kelsey sees her. Therefore several of Kelsey's and my friends see her. Etc.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

My hair used to be that color. :(
I am experiencing red hair envy lately.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Since I see you so rarely, I still picture you with red hair.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Hehe. In a way I sort of feel like I grew out of it, but sometimes I miss it.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

The ugly downside to the dyeing-hair-red equation is the prospect of becoming Crazy Old Lady Who Dyes Her Hair Red, a la Judy Baar Topinka. Or worse. I chose dignity.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I love red hair. what color is yours now, Amanda?

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:04 (seventeen years ago) link

my roommate got her hair cut at orbit by some guy who had been recommended to her--now she rolls out of bed with her hair looking great, it's crazy. so another recommendation for orbit.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

The hair is currently a dignified brown. Dark brown. My natural color. With dyed red hair there is the constant feeling of knowing that the hair is not real, that there are people who have beautiful, thick, lovely, naturally red hair and that I am NOT and will never be one of them. It feels vaguely shameful for some reason. At least after 10 years it did.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I get that. though one of my friends dyes her hair red, and people are constantly shocked she's not a natural redhead.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

People said that to me too! It didn't change the fact that I was not a natural redhead.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

(XPOST) Yeah, and since I met you when you had red hair -- which never once looked obviously dyed -- your current shade still looks unnatural to me!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

i lurve red heads, always have.
