Daydreaming

So, I was in St. Louis, MO on Thursday and Friday for a hearing. It was quite nifty hearing an Assistant U.S. Attorney use a quote that I pulled from cases I researched in her oral argument. It was even niftier that I, (being sly like the jungle cat), found that quote in the Plaintiff's principle case. (hee hee).

In other news, I went to the Arch to kill some time (as I was alone in St. Louis, sad). But, while I was there, I noticed what a pretty little town St. Louis is. In fact, if I had a luvah I would for sure want to go there with him. We could probably forgo the $10 trip up the Arch, but walking to it and under it would be lovely. Perhaps even a picnic on the steps. Look at me! I have a fantastic romantic weekend planned -- now all I need is a date. Hmm...volunteers...ahem, eligible volunteers?

You know it's hot when

You get in your car, and your glasses steam up. Literally, my glasses steamed up as if I had just walked into a sauna.

:(

Strep throat makes me sad. It also makes me sad that I have had strep throat so many times that when I was rudely awakened by a stabbing pain in my inner ear I knew instantly that I had strep throat. Then, 6 hours later, I was cursing living in a state without universal health care. Why is it so difficult to see a doctor?

Furthermore, I am NOT having a happy period, in spite of "always" ads. Chocolate might make it better....

"A Happy Period" -- Another rant about advertising

Did Always brand recently hire men to do their advertising? The new campaign is "Have a Happy Period". Now, I am rarely a victim of the vicious mood swings that often accompany those fateful days at the end of a woman's cycle, but I can say that "happy" is not a word I'd use to describe that time of my month. I mean seriously, the only way any maxi-pad is going to make my "time" a "happy period" is if I discover a bar of solid gold and or diamonds....or alternatively, if I find the inside lining to be made of crisp hundred dollar bills wrapped in plastic. Thankyouverymuch.

HA!

Today, an engineer says :
"How are we gonna get through the rest of this day? My Give-a-Shit meter is at about a 9, and I don't see it going down". HAHAHAHAHAHA. I LOVE it! I will be using this quote often.

Speechless

In silence....a moment in mourning for lost lives and broken families...

Really?!!?

Are they serious? I grant you, I'm biased against other states. But I find it mildly insulting that I just saw an advertisement, starring dairy cows. Do you know who the advertisement was for? California cheese. Err...excuse me..."Real California Cheese". Is that as opposed to fake Cali cheese? Nah, I'm not that naive. That's as opposed to Real Wisconsin cheese. Now, I beg you, (especially you non-Wisconsin natives), when you think of cheese, what's the first state you think of? I understand advertising your product, but who in their right mind would be convinced by a commericial starring dairy cows that say great cheese comes from California?

The ad agency in charge of that commercial should really be fired. :\

"Slavery Under New Manangement"

Ok, so that's only a slightly controversial title for 4th of July, but I was laughing my arse off when the KRW said it.

Anyway, my weekend was quite loverly. How was yours? I spent a substantial amount of time driving about, but I, being the Master Traveller, avoided most traffic. I went out Friday night in Brewtown. Then to Pab's party on Saturday afternoon, followed by pizza with my Eternal Optomist friend Saturday night (after we were forced out by our ride's new pal). Then hanging out at home on Sunday and Monday. (And I purchased a ridiculous pair of shoes, but I couldn't help it -- they were calling me.)

All in all, I'd say it was a pretty kick-ass weekend. :)
