Apropos of nothing, I used to call Piglet from Winnie the Pooh "Hamlet."

I blame that on older brother Not Nick. He also told me that "bastard" was not a bad word, and so I said it when my mother and I were in the bank one time.

I probably would have said, "You know what? We've heard about litigation. Maybe we can let our interviewee talk for awhile. By the way, [interviewee] would you like dessert?

Then I would rip your co-worker a new one when it was over.

I don't think that the conversation was bad for the recruit. Actually it went pretty well and I interjected transactional stuff as appropriate. He had a bit of a litigation leaning, anyway. I just hate the litigation war stories, and I think it bothered me a bit more than usual after a summer full of hearing them.

And we did ask to make sure he didn't want coffee/dessert - she realized that faux pas right after the fact.

I can't vent here (of all places) about being stuck at lunch with a typical lawyer without being told I'm doing something wrong? Tough crowd. Tough day.

I actually overheard a litigator say "like we were going to hold hands and sing kum-by-yah or something, after all, WE ARE litigators." Um, that wasn't funny. humor check? did you find that funny? because I didn't. I like deal attys.

That's just b/c you've never been in the trenches, risking your life, saving Jews and delivering babies in the battle that is litigation.

I should move to Hawaii. I could eat that cheap poke you can get at those roadside seafood joints all day. And I've probably got parasites in my intestines to prove it...
It was quite a bit like Poke. I'd get it again, but I'd get no aoili or mayo or whatever they want to call the white stuff that was spread on both sides of the bun.

I thought poke was like a sex thing.

I did my bit for the happiness of humanity today and warned the temp secretary not to go to law school after she finishes college. Warm fuzzies all around. She confessed that she thought corporate law would be glamorous.

She's not fat and her tits do not appear floppy at all, though I've never seen them unclothed and to my knowledge have never seen them totally unsupported.

That wasn't my initial intention, although I guess that's how it ended up after you asked me what I would have done differently. I just can't see someone pushing you around with their personality like that. That was all. It started off as a sort-of compliment.

I have never stayed anywhere that fits the bill pricewise, but here is a list of Santa Barbara ocean front hotels -

(well, crap, the link said it was for ocean front, but I'm not sure it is.)

In any event, there is a Holiday Inn, for example, so there may be modestly priced options.

There is this Backyardigans song that my kids like:

Lyrics - A Pirate Says "Arrr"
This is one of the songs on the Backyardigans CD.

A Pirate Says "Arrr"

If you want to be a pirate,
Get up on your feet.
You can't be a pirate,
If you're sitting in your seat.
Swing your arms tough,
And stand kind of low,
And make this noise wherever you go.

Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
It might seem strange, just a bit bizarre,
But they know you're a pirate,
When they hear you say "Arrr!"

Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
You wear a spare part, a bandana and a scar,
and they know you're a pirate,
When they hear you say "Arrr!"

The Jolly Roger is the pirate flag,
A skull and some bones on a big black rag.
We'll fly it on our ship, up above the sails,
And we'll search for treasure,
And be tough as nails!

Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
If you think we're noisy, you're right, we are,
'cause they know you're a pirate,
When they hear you say "Arrr!"

they were quite good, considering pouch to microwave to Hank.
The paneer was not firm like in a restaurant, and the vegetables are too mushy (close to baby food)- but the flavors are fine. It's like, if this were a restaurant it would go out of business, but it sure is an easy way to get a quick lunch.
I absolutely LOVE the brown rice and vegetables. However, the fridge in my place smells like Kurt Cobain so I can't stick food in there.
