Defense Lawyers Make Nice

So there's this little shin-dig that's thrown every year by these three defense lawyers here in L.A.; Kissel, Kestenbaum and Israels (all from different firms I think). Anyhow, it was tonight at Sagebrush Cantina and I went. There were about 500 people there and it was fairly ok. TONS of DA's telling me I'm bound to get hired (I'm knocking on wood right now and you should be too) and a lot of defense lawyers who told me that I'm an idiot because I want to work for the "dark side". Ha, since when did we become the "dark side"? I guess it was kind of neat because I got to hang out with one of the judges I voted for in this past election. The funny part about it was, I had no idea who he was for half the time we were talking. He walked up to me and said, "hey I've seen you around the office, I'm Dave Stewart" and I was like, "oh yeah, I see you every day in the elevator". Then, after we were talking for a few minutes I thought to myself, B, you're such a retard. This is THE Dave Stewart. The one you voted for in the last election Dave Stewart. No wonder the name sounded so familiar. I swear. Sometimes I can be such an idiot. Anyhow, turns out Mr. Stewart is a pretty cool guy and I sure as hell hope he makes a decent judge over at Metro. Good choice for those of you who voted for him as well.

On a different note, I'm so over these holiday events. I've had work lunches all week, family events every night, and I have two more parties this weekend, one of which is black tie (meaning I actually have to shave my legs for once). All I want to do is just be able to come home from work, hop in the tub and have a glass of wine before I hit the hay at 10pm. Is that too much for a girl to ask?

I hear you on the getting tired of holiday events - that's why I wanted to sneak away to SD this weekend. And how funny - I didn't know you were lazy about the leg shaving (I am, too, which is why I normally wear slacks to work). But I kind of pegged you as the kind to wear skirts and high heels every day - how do you pull that off w/ out doing shaving daily?

Okay I figured out how to login to one of my accounts - but I have no idea how to subscribe to or bookmark your blog.

Anyhoo - the site I use other than myspace is livejournal.com - my id there is aries21grrl, if you ever care to check it out (though, I usually post on myspace, too, unless I want the bf to not read it)
