Scrappy, I love the USA profile on your DH! He looks like he leads a cool, adventuresome life.

I only use my phone in a pinch to send email, have a helluva time editing (see: in a pinch) and the typos embarrass me, so often will include the caveat. It's out of frustration, not lack of care.

Scrambled some (organic, leash raised, hand massaged) eggs for Devi. She likes them!

Marketed. Drove to the market, which I usually think is a copout, but I had to go pick my neighbor up from the autoshop right after, so it was just more efficient.

Now I gotta get my ass moving. Today's schedule is batshit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, Vortex.

Trying to work out how deep a hole they've dug on Suits (I can only image that's a deeply frustrating show for lawyers to watch--or it says scary things about the profession). The premise of the show being the associate lied about attending law school and I can't remember/work out if he ever took the bar under his own name, but he must have, somehow--the paper trail that Hardison or equivalent (I miss you, Leverage!) would have cooked up for him on another show is a plot point whose details I don't recall.

Thanks, Vortex.

Or possibly Sparky.

Seriously?

Okay, this weekend is going to be GREAT. I can't wait to start working.

Oh--I already have! Bloody wonder I didn't just rm * -rf.

The premise of the show being the associate lied about attending law school and I can't remember/work out if he ever took the bar under his own name, but he must have, somehow-

For some reason I don't think so, though I don't know why he wouldn't. Maybe having part of he paper trail be real makes it less likely to hold together?

It's one of those things I wonder if they intended to hold onto it for the whole series. I'd point to Burn Notice and suggest they don't. Good god, that opening speech and montage DRIVES ME BATSHIT. I don't care how realistic it might be for the same guy to be hung up on the same thing for forever--it doesn't make it interesting.

And Suits doesn't have the millstone of the title or opening credits hanging around its neck. It could become "just" a show about an eidetic prodigy and his master closer mentor and the fucking hyper-competent women they work with, all of whom are pretty much painfully gorgeous.

That I will continue to watch, even without a secret as a hook. But maybe if they could tone down the stakes a *wee* bit each episode, it would be a bit more relaxing.

Jesse, I wasn't sure if these would fit the tumblr mandate well or not:

My next work task is to send out an email in about 12 minutes. The email is already written and stored in drafts. You have no idea how convinced I am that I'll cock it up.

Art Crawl!!!

Oddly, my bff who is an attorney and has a RULE about lawyer shows (she generally just says no) - enjoys Suits. It's the relationship between the two guys that does it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Thanks, Calli! He's pretty fabulous, I gotta say.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, after getting jack all done yesterday, today is shaping up to be more productive.

The bummer is that the SO has caught one of the kids' colds, so he's probably going to be out of commission for the upcoming week. Which pretty much sucks, seeing as we haven't had a normal week in forever. But he covered my tail a bunch, so it's time for me to cover his, I guess.
