Minor victory thread

There's an ancient (high school) old joke I used to make about my life's goal being that I wanted to be big in Japan.

Well, my old buddy from high school on a recent trip helped me take my first step on the wall of a hostel.



Also, I have AIDS!!

Although I really dislike my fake client and I do not sympathize with her at all, it is still super fun sticking it to the other side.

I think I actually enjoy this law stuff......

in this case they are both deplorable and i hate them both.the truth is they suck.

On one hand we have my client the chick who dated the cad attorney who chews up fellow associates and spits them out even though she knew his history and other side is the cad attorney who bones anyone who holds still long enough.

Fuck. both. of. them.
 
This would be Epic Win, but then I'd have to describe all that I love about her, and I have other stuff I gotta do tonight.

My wife is so great. I'm incredibly lucky to have a woman who cares about me so much that she'll sit and draw art for my website and book, read my stuff and give honest feedback, acting as a more attentive artist and editor than anyone I could pay for. I look forward to when I put the collection of stuff from my site on Amazon and see her name next to mine as Illustrator. She doesn't even know that'll happen, but I know the sound she'll make, which I look forward to hearing, the happy sound she makes when I do something really right. I think I've gotten addicted to that "eep!" of joy.
 
Our little city has a Japanese steak house/hibachi place now. 30,000 people and we don't have to drive 45 minutes for a good teriyaki chicken.

One of the advantages of living in Morgantown is I can get a beef bowl (gyudon) here instead of trekking to CA for Yoshinoya.
 
I just discovered a Japanese teppanyaki place in Shanghai for 150RMB/person (about $25) for all you can eat/drink. I'm going to abuse that place.

They even give you cute little sake bottles.
 
I got a really good deal on some Anime DVD's just now.

On Monday I saw that DeepDiscount was having a sale on DVD's for Cyber Monday where there was quite a few for 87% off. I found 10 DVD sets I wanted but sadly when I went to purchase them the prices jumped back up. So I called them up and after a few days of having to send emails and make a few phone calls they agreed to sell the DVD's to me at the sale price. (well all of them except one that they no longer are carrying)



So I picked up the following 9 DVD sets for only $59.19


Best Student Council: Complete Collection $6.69

Petite Princess Yucie: Complete Collection $6.69

Chance Pop Session - The Complete Collection $5.39

Sorcerer Hunters: Perfect Collection $8.03

Cromartie High School - Complete Collection $6.00

Princess Tutu: Complete Collection $6.00

Those Who Hunt Elves: Complete Collection $5.39

Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi: Complete Collection $6.69

Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat: Complete Collection $8.31
 
I managed to *not* murder one of the students, after walking him through changing his password again, since he already locked himself out of his account twice this afternoon, walking him through adding a printer, and showing him how to print a document. I managed to avoid murdering this man even after all that, he came to the desk three minutes later, and said, "It hasn't printed." His screen still showed the print menu, with the large "print" icon, which he had not pressed, so in essence, it did not print because he did not tell it to print. And after all that, I still managed to not murder him.

Every word in every title on that list is interchangeable with each other...

Maybe it is because I am tired but I am not quite sure the point you are going for at the moment. Are you making a comment about the fact that every title says "collection" and almost all of them say "complete"?

Or is it something else that I am completely missing?
 
Testicles?



I kid :p.

I gave up caring if a show was girly (or seemed girly) or not long ago. (hence my Avatar :) )

Now granted I have yet to watch any of these Anime series before but they all came fairly highly recommended. And besides at these prices as long as I get some enjoyment out of them they were a good deal.

Anime titles tend to be interchangeable. It could say "Sorcerer High Session" for example.

My kids designed their own science experiments. A lot of them won't have time to repeat them at least 3 times, but they really aimed high. My kids are pretty cool. :) Even my little "too-cool-for-school" student is getting into it. He actually giggled today. Giggled. With glee. ^_^

Well that damn trial I have been preparing for for months is finally over. It went pretty much ok so I am going to just talk about the things that went wrong. Why because I am a negative nancy.
- first, last night our friend who I had asked to be a juror and she had agreed, texted my partner and said “I don’t have the fucking time to sit there for 4 hours” Now I know her very well and I know that she uses the word fucking the way I do. Basically like a comma it doesn’t mean anything. It is just a word. But my partner took it personally that our friend was pissed off and it hurt her feelings. Today I ran into the friend in class and she apologized for not being a juror and I said it was fine but she should be more careful texting my partner. So she of course apologized to my partner who confronted me about telling our friend that she was upset. AHHHHHH.
- second thing was one of our opposing counsel is severely anorexic I think she is finally getting some help for it I know she mentioned a doctor and a nutritionist so hopefully she is working that out. but for the time being she is a stick. and this morning I guess she was taking off one of her boots and like briefly dislocated her hip or back or something. the point being she ended up in a lot of pain at the er and had to go through our trial on painkillers. so much standing and getting up. I felt so bad for her.
-the third thing was because our side had four witnesses we were really strapped for time so part way into it the prof had us start cutting part of our questions. this is really hard for me because when I plan an examination it is very straightforward I don’t like a lot of padding in there it is just what needs to be and everything flows together rhythmically. But with the cutting all my work was ruined damn it RUINED.
That was pretty much all. It was a long painful experience and I am very glad it is over.

Why is this a victory? because I lived damn it.
