How precious that you think your child is miraculously gifted in wordplay. We all know it's more likely he couldn't understand you with your mouth brimming with various dairy- and bacon-based sauces, and naturally concluded you were calling for your trencher to be replenished as usual.

No, no, no. It's Leagl's box. For $30/week, you can be in it. Once Trasher's out, of course. I don't think the box is big enough for two.

Nope. This time it's the xanax and working until 2 this morning. My apologies to Atticus. Except for the cream and bacon thingy and insulting my kid.

As for Barely, I guess I'll just drop it. I wouldn't expect her to use words like "behoove." I'm just impressed she didn't think it had something to do with animal husbandry.

No, it is my box. But you just get to put your name there for a week (or a month.) You don't actually get to be in it yourself.

DC v NYC

8track:

Quote:

I don't know how we got on Chicago as a comparator, but I'll take on D.C. vs. New York.

It is the eternal debate here. D.C.'ers generally have a major chip on their shoulders about being compared with NYC. The truth is, comparison is pretty unfair.

NYC has something like 14 million residents. D.C. has about 600,000 residents.

NYC has thousands of bars and restaurants of all sizes. The D.C. restaurant scene is both top and bottom heavy. There are quite a few very expensive and nice restaurants for a city of its size, and a lot of crappy cheap places. The city lacks, however, every day good eating establishments that NYC seems to have in adundance. D.C. can't be said to have a signature "cuisine" of its own, moreover. It borrows a little bit from everywhere. The upside is that you can actually get a reservation to a good restaurant here on less than one week's notice.

Night life. NYC beats the pants off D.C., no question.

Law firm life is undeniably better. We work on the same caliber of matters (except maybe for corporate deals), generally get paid about the same or slightly less, and work fewer hours. There's no question I'd rather practice here than there.

Culture is actually quite good in D.C. for a city of our size. We blow away any comparably sized city anywhere in the country with respect to museums, theater etc. Of course, we don't hold a candle to NYC, except maybe in the museum department, but then again, it's WAY easier to get tickets to everything here.

Sports. We have crummier teams than NYC, no doubt. The city rises or falls on the Redskins every year and they have, since the conclusion of the Joe Gibbs era, been mediocre to sucky. The Orioles are a sorry excuse for a hometown baseball team. They aren't even home town. As far as opportunities for personal recreation/sports, however, Washington has NY beat by far. We have more park space per capita than, I think, any other US city. Every evening in the summer, these fields (including the Mall) are covered in ball players of every stripe. We have gyms galore, bike paths, a river, and accessible countryside less than 30 minutes away. All in all, lots of opportunity for one to excercise if you want it.

People. I have always found D.C. people to be pretty friendly. The very transient nature of the population makes people more outgoing and willing to make acquaintances. Networking and politcking are also art forms here, so if you don't have your head up your ass, it's relatively easy to meet smart, nice people. The downside is that a lot of good friends will leave for other parts, which can be sad.

NYC is overwhelming in this regard and all of my friends up there tend to stick pretty close to the same protective circles of friends that they have known for a long time.

And the catch all -- quality of life. This is the one that for me trumped NY. For someone that wants to put down lasting roots somewhere, this is a good place. It has housing stock that is nice and relatively affordable. The city is accessible and vibrant. One can go home at 7 PM and have a life. For me, the life of a lawyer in NY does not afford the same QOL. There, if you hit the age you want to have kids, you will inevitably move out of your $2100/month studio into a house in the suburbs and a mind-bending 50 minute commute. Think about it -- working until 7 or 8 and then fighting your way back on the subway and train to Long Island, New Jersey or CT? Those people who do so no longer consider NYC their home, but rather a difficult place to go into and work in, and then escape from at the first opportunity. NY takes it out of you.

I always tell people that they should try and live in NY for at least a few years while they are single, but then get out before it's too late. NY will make you hard. The crush of people, the cost of living, the noise, the pressure of daily existence, isn't good for you in the long run. It's something you can survive, and even thrive on when you're 22-30 and have a little law firm cash in your pocket. Not necessarily when you're 30 and older, though. The single, 30-something NY women by and large have that dark, suspicious eye about them because they've been burned by so many world class NY jerks. The single 30-something males are, by and large, "playas" who have lived the smorgasborg life of NYC so long that they are pathologically on the search for the "bigger and better deal."

In D.C. by contrast, you might actually run into a 30 year old virgin who has been so dedicated to getting A's and making partner, that he/she never looked up from the books long enough to date the opposite sex. That's bad enough in its own right, but at least the person is sincere!

Me:

NYCBIGFLAW imposes more pressure, allows less responsibility, and offers worse odds at partnership than any other market. For transactional attorneys, it offers more prestige, more in-house opportunities and more premium work than any other market.

DCBIGFLAW offers legislative/litigation/regulatory work as good as anywhere else, and compared to NYC, marginally better hours for marginally worse pay in a homogenous, boring, preppy swamp.

laser eye surgery

2 things with the lasik; a decent percentage of people get "floaters", which are not cool to have. Floaters are little brown things floating in your field of vision. the docter's advice? your brain will learn to ignore them! this week I was actually able to tell my mom about what the spots she was just starting seeing at 70 were.

the other point is you need to choose between your own regular eye docter (assuming he does surgeries) and a lasik mill. I used my eye docter but would recommend a mill, particularly if you are anything other than a very low power nearsighted person, ANYTHING unusual in your case, a mill will have seen, but your eye docter who does surgeries one day a week might not.

breasticle day

Ok, I've gone through the list of folks with the other Admins and we think, though are not certain, we got everyone.

You will know you are on the list if you can see another board above the General Discussion boards.

If you cannot see it, it means you aren't on the list. If you think you should be on the list and you aren't please send me a PM or an email. If you haven't been around a while (i.e. known to us from the old board) or made a reputation for yourself on this one, you aren't on the list. I mean no offense to anyone by this, it is simply that in order to encourage people to send in pictures of themselves, I had to promise there would be some limits, and this was the best one I could think of.

Also, please don't be hurt if you were left off by mistake, it wasn't intentional I assure you.

If you aren't a regular all I can suggest, is become one, so next time we do something like this, you too can participate.

Thanks

P.S.

The list itself is not public. The only people who know who is or is not on it are the Admins.

The first rule of the list is: Do not talk about the list.

The second rule of the list is: Do not talk about the list.

The third rule of the list is: If you talk about the list, I will find you, and hurt you, and will not allow you to share my box.

Tivo is a wonderful thing

It has helped me realize that the room that Thom did for the meathead Baldwin lookalike was depicted on Aqua Teen Hungerforce earlier in the week. The palm tree mural that Thom put up was also prominently displayed in Carl's house.

In related news, it appears that my cable is out and I cannot give any critique of the various pseudo virgins prancing around stage tonight. Maybe, perhaps, MTV will rerun the show. Over and over and over again.

I am bookmarking this for future reference. One of the meanings of "pimpin" is "a name you call somebody else" as in "come pimpin, we gotta go." I think that's how she uses it. And I think she uses two definitions of "holla back": in the halls as a response to a holla and as a goodbye or when ending a conversation. After writing a nice apology note to a teacher I know she likes, she ended it "Holla back, pimpin!"

This reminds me that school starts next week, meaning I start tutoring again. I predict that within the first half hour back with my girl I will hear both "Ah, I don't want you here this year" and "Why didn't you visit me this summer?"

Her fame must have been in mid fleet. I think some stars actually get harassed and can't get from point A to B in a hurry without looking like an asshole when they don't stop to chat with everyandanyone. But she did it because she probably wasn't getting stopped anymore. At least now people will ask, "Who's that?" She's probably not concerned that they wouldn't know if she took the get-up off.

I'm walking through my law firm, all the secretaries filing
But when they see me passing by, they're looking up and smiling
The mail room staff stop by my office happily each day
They sense my mellow office vibe, I know they want to stay
The paralegals make excuses to stop by and chat
They know that Pretty Flower is one super groovy cat
The other lawyers worship me, it's foolish to deny it
They tell me this so often that I sometimes wish for quiet
But still, their adoration does not measure up, you see
Because I know deep in my heart my biggest fan is me

My understanding--and I may be wrong on this--is that there are web sites all over the internet dedicated to the naked female human breast. From what I've been told, I think some of these sites charge a nominal but competitive fee, while others will actually let you see the naked breasts without charging a fee. I think you may be plauged with some pop ups, but the pop ups, I am told, generally also feature naked breasts, so may not be a bad thing.

Maybe one of these sites could hold you over until next friday? I'm not quite sure how you would find one, but maybe one of our FB brothren or sistren could give you some direction.

Many gifts you have my friend
you're pretty and wise and true
but when it comes to poetry
I have to say you're blue.

Poetry's an art you know
going beyond rhyme
the words you see, they have to flow
they have to find their time.

And the words you rhyme
they lack the time

so I'm begging you my pretty friend
please find another habit.

VMAs. Last night.

Spoiled in detail in every paper yesterday and for every day since Madonna's birthday party.

Though I knew exactly what would happen, I still enjoyed it. The open-mouthed kisses and dirty dancing were unexpected, especially to the live audience.

Rock's jokes were on point. He introduced LeBron James and Ashanti with:
"He's tryin not to be the next Kobe and she's tryin not to be the next victim."

He also said of Good Charlotte: "Good Charlotte? That's like mediocre Green Day."

Overall, a far more enjoyable VMAs than the past few years. The fashion was all about the breast -- God bless them.
