Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And for some reason, it seems like the perfect song to catch the Mood of the Moment. Thanks probably to the paranoia-simulating bass line.

AH! earworm central.

I'm feeling all wound down, like whatever is next is going to be less fun than I'd like for it to be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Thank you for the Crazy mention.

Good news for today: monthly departmental luncheon where the topic was "a surprise." We were to "prepare to be challenged", which no one looked forward to. However, it turned out to be a trivia contest among tables randomly composed of associates and partners-- trivia on firm history, identifying pictures of staff, paralegals and lawyers, legal questions, a sudoku, logic games/reasoning from the LSAT...and my table (the only one sans partner but with enough midlevels/senior associates to remember who the staff is) won! Our prize has something to do with the firm's sports tickets. Best department lunch ever!
