distracted.

my sales final is tommorrow. and while i still have plenty of work ahead of me today, my main concern at this point is the fact that i completely forgot to sign up to take my exam by computer. with respect to my handwriting, friends have recently commented: "you really should have gone to med school instead," and, less politely, "you write like a serial killer." whatever. at least i don't have Big Puffy Girl Handwriting. it's a completely irrational pet peeve, i know, but i feel strongly nonetheless.

work has been ok, but a little slow. except for the remarkably dramatic circumstances surrounding the sudden departure of gonzo (i.e. the eccentric, socially inept, vaguely creepy attorney). seriously, in the context of our little firm, it was practically "trapped in the closet." i really hope that guy can work out his issues, because he's got some. long-term, his departure is a very good thing. short-term, it meant that nick2 and i had to excavate his office to locate and salvage his case files. (one word: YUCK. if i had a nickel for every document with a mystery food stain on it, law school would be paid off. seriously, there should have been a hazmat crew up in that bitch.) the upside was that nick and i had free reign to listen to the mountain goats and bullshit like third graders while doing so. which was well-timed, as i have been one giant hormone this week.

otherwise, i have been running around looking for a new roommate since ali decided to leave. i'm sad, but i can't begrudge her since her current commute is pretty bad. based on the responses i've gotten so far, i'm pretty confident i'll find someone responsible and low-key. it's just one more thing to do. but if i can just keep my head down and take care of everything i need to do in these next couple weeks (roommate stuff, clerkship apps, any number of other little things) i know i will be richly rewarded by the pitchforkfest/lollapalooza/NYC!!! trifecta that is my next three weekends. in spirit, that is. financially, of course, i'll be cashed, but you know it's so worth it.

finally....

mac maccaughan blogging? very cool. mac maccaughan blogging about an elaborately snarky takedown of "the butterscotch stallion" by the members of steedily d? AWESOME.

equally awesome? this band, and that album title.

alright, i should have been at jmls yesterday. wish me luck!
