Louisiana Loves Obama

Strangely exciting and historic...

Today I filled up the Chevy with gas for 2.99. Holy cow.

It's like there's an election coming or something...

For You Law Nerds Out There

In an interview with the public defender of a state that shall remain nameless, but is sometimes thought of (by me) as Vermont's evil twin (although less so now that they're apparently going blue):

Interviewer: What's your favorite Supreme Court case?

Me: Um... Is the right answer Gideon? Because that's the case that means we have jobs?

Interviewer: YES! Yes, Gideon is the answer-- and I've been waiting three days for someone to say it!

Other highlights include making up potential responses to the rumored Philly question, "do black people make you uncomfortable?" So far, we have:

a) Do white people make you uncomfortable?

b) No, no, I've spent a lot of time in prison.

Or, my contribution:

c) Um, everyone makes me uncomfortable.

Jetplane (Leaving on a)

Three days in D.C. start this evening. Saturday will be 6 job interviews. NY? DC? Philly? Colorado? New Hampshire? San Diego? Or more likely none of them since I am very skeptical anyone gets jobs this way, anyway.

Nonetheless, my suit is drycleaned, I got a good hotel deal on Hotwire and there will be lots of folks there I know or "know" via email from SHN. And of course, generally being famous and awesome. Any suggestions on what where to eat or what to do?

Let's see... I have been nursing myself back to health from something nasty through the use of hippie drugs. Like Oregano Spirits and the Neti Pot. So far so good.

Oh, yeah, and my little baby boyfriend turned 26 today. Awwww....

Happy Birthday!
