Those are precious seconds that could be spent pouring more tequila and squeezing limes!

Screw limes! 'S all about the tequila.

Don't blame me when you are afflicted with the heartbreak of scurvy!

Maybe I should have said "appreciably affected," or "substantially affected."  But even if we stick with "affected," blogging about something doesn't necessarily affect it.  Schrodinger notwithstanding.  Or withstanding.  Or both simultaneously.

And here I thought that was the teethbreak of scurvy.

But what do I know, I'm just a girl :P

(Yeah, so my latest interview, the one I'm "celebrating" not hearing back on was on plaintiff PI.  I could've been The Enemy.  Sigh.  That would've been fun.)

What does a piano-playing Peanuts character have to do with this?...  =|

It's for the best, BW.  It would be more dignified to be the piano player in a whorehouse.

What kind of dough does a whorehouse piano-player make?

See, my issue  I won't work for insurers, and if I would've, I would've had to have done a clerkship.  I'd love to defend med-mal, but I won't defend auto stuff for State Farm et al.  If you can find me a hospital who wants some spit and vinegar in-house, I'm all in, but I won't be State Farm shill.

Honor is bloody complicated.

But does the act of observing BW's current state change her current state?

I don't care how crappy the economy gets, I ain't leaving Michigan!

I'll take another bloody bar exam, just for the hell of it, but I ain't leaving Michigan!  Leave my state out of this, you furriner!

My response to your post about boxes and cats must, for decency's sake, be censored.

P.S. Screw it, I've got another third of a bottle, and I'm not afraid to drink it.

Ok, that's just mean.  How am I supposed to be able to read that, at this point?  It's only marginally linear, all that pseudo-handwritten stuff.  I can't read handwriting, that's why we have computers.

I can't do all that, it's supposed to work the way it's supposed to work, and when it doesn't, it's somebody else's fault.  Invariably.

Ok, now that I've gotten (slightly) over random competitive snark, I've realized that I'm the local computer expert.  I say again, dayum.  Of the two-syllabled variety.
