And With A Gurgle of Frustration, It is Done. For now.
Ramblings Post #72I'm trying to remember the exact moment I decided to go to law school. I haven't always wanted to be a lawyer. I remember the convincing argument that if I went in X amount of time I would be a lawyer, and if I didn't go in X amount...
A Quick Restaurant Review - Parish
Last year, for the first time in four or five years, Shade and I didn't spend her birthday together. She'd just moved to DC from Boston, had just started her residency and the idea of flying in for one or two days just wasn't in the cards. I thought ...
I so love British Television
Ramblings Post #52It has been a long strange trip. I mean from my house to my house and back, this break from law school has been a something I relished and dreaded at the same time. I'm back for another season of "Old Law" , the rolling internet alm...
Just a Face in the Crowd
Ramblings Post #51Every now and then, a face in the crowd will be "called home" by God or fate or the Great glowing Chupacarbra or whoever it is that collects your offerings and the newspapers will print an obit that catches your eye. It's that momen...
I saw this movie right...
Ramblings Post #36 There are things probably best left unsaid. I mean there are certain things when you say them that cast a certain light upon you now and forevermore. Like, admitting you're scared of ballerinas. It might be because your older siste...
Movies I love for no reason at all
Ramblings Post #14When you run out of things to talk about in a blog, or news article or any regularly posted or updated thing, and just need to fill a void, you pull out a list. They're simple to do, you make it about damn near anything, and if you'...
A Quick Book Review - The Shack
Ramblings Post #14I like to read. There I said it, I'm not ashamed to admit it and I feel so much better for it. I've been reading since I was little. Comic books, Hardy Boys, Encyclopedia Brown, The Great Brain, Westerns, Science Fiction, Whodunits,...
Picking your battles
Ramblings Post #3It's time for a school update. Yeah, this is the third week, but I've had other things on my mind and other foolishness to focus on, and they didn't give back the final tests - with explanation - until right around now. So the fear i...
A Quick Restaurant Review - Gato Bizco
Ramblings Post #2 The return of something I really liked to do, go new places and see what the food is like. Sure I generally order the same things, but it's off a different menu. And just like your scrambled eggs don't taste just like your mom's scr...
Back in the Saddle
Mental Rehab Post #42They say when you get knocked off the horse you need to get right back on it, before you can even think about it. The basis for this is usually if you think about it you'll realize how dumb it was to get on that particular horse ...
A Quick Restaurant Review - Ray's on the River
If you've lived in Atlanta more than say, I don't know, a week maybe, you've heard of Ray's on the River. It is quite frankly an Atlanta Institution. Oddly, most of this jewel of the south's "institutions" are places to eat and not places of great tr...
Ah the Holidays...
Family Post #1Sometimes you need to look at the people who were there before you, blazing the trail so you didn't have to. I'm not talking about the figures we read about in history books. I mean the people who paid the mortgage month in and month ou...
The obligatory James Bond Post
I am a James Bond FanI like the character James Bond. I've actually read the novels and found him interesting. The movies have ebbed between glorious (Goldfinger or Goldeneye) and "what the hell are they doing" (see Moonraker or Licence to Kill). But...
The Last Weekend Roundup
Mental Rehab Post #35Sometimes in the course of living, we live just a little too hard. And then comes a reckoning, and then shortly thereafter, nachos. Or is it pie? In either case, as I've told many a folk, most of things that happen to me are my f...
They got me...
Mental Rehab Post #22I believe I may have bitten off a bit more than I can chew. Or want to swallow. Or something. There are times in your life you get overwhelmed. And at those moments we have choice. We can a) cower and fret and accomplish nothing ...
