Now it is being reborn as a cliche: a Midwestern transplant living in New York City (here, Astoria) I am going to do my best to not write about work. Instead this will be an effort to document and record my attempt to have a life outside of work. Hopefully it won't be too dull.Possum Jenkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05985261007047751676noreply@blogger.comBlogger2611100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977130.post-1159751611920553572006-10-01T21:10:00.000-04:002006-10-01T21:15:37.916-04:00

hello everyone, (the one or two of you). things are going well here - last week was spent playing poker, going to a yankee's game, celebrating "rocktoberfest" by karaoking, and going to an octoberfest at bohemian hall beer garden. all were a lot of fun. the work crew is proving to be a fantastic group of people to hang out with, i'm drinking a bit too much (and smoking a little) but i don't

something like 154 to go...hooraywork is going really well so far. that being said, i still don't have any actual responsibility, that comes next week. i'm starting with 45 people, they all seem pretty cool so far. most are from NYC/NY state/East coast. one other girl is from chicago - we've decided we have to be friends.

A good couple of days all around: yesterday I got all but 3 of my thank-you cards done. Today I went into Greenwich Village where I found a great used bookstore and got some fantastic deals, then I kept walking and finally found a liquor store that stocks rye whiskey. Also, I saw two women almost get into a fight waiting for the 6 train. A whole lot of "you ugly" "no, you ugly" "bring it bitch

On my 2nd try, I got my new drivers license today. It's a boring story and can be summed up like this: The NY DMV wanted more proof that I was a licensed driver for longer than 6 months (I had to get an abstract overnighted to me) than they wanted that my address was valid (they didn't even look at my lease).Buncha morons.Next adventures: couch and groceries

Left at 7:30 AM (central time) on Thursday morning. Drove until 11:30 PM (eastern time). Stopped in Netcong, NJ. The drive into NYC was really easy, almost eerily so. The landlord checked in about 6 times, but after that things have cooled down. This is easily one of the nicer apartments i've lived at since i've been a young nomad and since I brought little with me it feels empty. I've hung

Is coming up. Essentially, I have taken my life and halved it. It's an odd feeling. I am a packrat by nature, so maybe the idea of "halving" my life is more like quartering it. It was sad saying good-bye to Chicago. Not so much to my friends, because I will stay in touch with them, but the neighborhoods, the EL, the bars, the restaurants, the "city". Now there is a new city to learn, new

Here's what i don't like about the law school process and how it changes your worldview. I keep seeing these miller lite "taste trial" commericals. While the commercials aren't very funny or clever, the only thing i keep thinking is: bud light is totally going to win on appeal.

Hello all:as i sit on page 18 of a supposedly 25 page first draft, let's bring everyone up to speed.1) bronx interview: craziest, most intense interview in my life. By the end of it, both i and the panel were yelling at each other. Then, basically, I told a joke, everyone laughed, I gave them 2 minutes on why they should hire me, we all shook hands, and I left. Now I am waiting on their call.2

Everyone seems to call the corner/neighborhood bar a "pub". Why? what can you possibly gain from this? Seem more European/British/Irish? Please. The L&L Tavern, J&R Tap, Phyllis's Musical Inn, Foley's Bar - they're all one thing: Neighborhood bars. corner bars. The local Tavern.Please stop calling these places "Pubs" generically. You're in Chicago. Call them "bars", call them "Taverns".

Went out with some guys from O-town last night. Found out that my sleepy little town has quite a few little trysts going on involving a guy I went to grade school with and the teaching staff of that school. Mind you, he's no older than 24, and they're in their 30's and 40's. One who is married with kids....soon to be divorced (as the dylan song says).That blew my mind last night.we're coming

I also saw the Sufjan Stevens show last Saturday. If you would have read the trib's review, you would have seen the show, but the guy sounded like he took all of his Sufjan knowledge off of Pitchfork.The show was good, dont' get me wrong: the man makes beautiful, fragile music. It's otherworldly, really. But don't tell me that Saturday's show was the greatest you've ever seen. All that tells

I've written about it before, but for me law school finals mode is very very horrible. it lasts about 2 weeks, and all it does is make me a bundle of nerves for the test and guilt for thinking i'm not studying enough, and stupid for just seeing that whole 100% of the grade resting on three hours of a test and just freaking out.the

New Diner reviews: Sweet Maple Cafe, Hollywood Grill.Updated Reviews: Mama Kitty's, Windy City Cafe.Sorry for the lag in the reviews, but this should tide you over for awhile. If you have any suggestions for other places to go, let me know. I think i'm forgetting a new place that I went to in the last 2 weeks, so there might be an extra review up yet.Also: come on 5,000!

Is anyone surprised that the latest turns in the Terri Schiavo case are that a) the federal court would rule that she/her parents have gotten more due process than almost any person (i'm thinking any person) in history? and that b) the parents would kick this up to the appeals court as soon as they could?You can't help but feel sorry for both sides in this case. They are both blinded by love so

A new diner review. Mama Kitty's. Just got back from there about 45 minutes ago, wanted to review it while it was still fresh in my mind. This is a hidden gem.

Being able to look across a room and just admire a good looking woman is a pleasure that, i understand, never gets old. The opposite sex has a power that is tremendous, in that by the virtue of just being they can bring an entire room to a stop, brighten a day, or be a vivid memory. Ask any man and he will tell you that there are more than a handful of women who he has admired from a distance,

What i did was back-date all of the diner reviews, so then it can just easily be linked from the main page, instead of taking up space. Now I can just tell you when there are new reviews, you can follow the links, and go there.So: go to the blue line and see the reviews for: The Windy City Cafe, Riverside Deli & Cafe, Podlhanka Restaurant, and Hilary's Urban Eatery.Enjoy

Those of you who know me know that I am a fan of diners. Not only a fan of diners, but a fan of finding the best cheap food I can, wherever I live. When I lived at home, and down at U of I, this was fairly limited on a day to day basis because of the lack of options. Or at least options within a decent driving distance. There were only 10-15 places to choose from, so you could really go through

half assed rants and updates about my hapless adventures have lost their luster, for the time being. and as he hinted at, there is going to be a new feature on this old website: Diner Reviews. I'm now pushing the timetable up on my unveiling of this feature and the first review will be up by 5pm wednesday.as for "my sweet 16", "My super 16", or whatever, i haven't actually seen a whole episode.

for those of you starved for them.pretty tame weekend. some old friends came into town on friday, and i ended up going to "country night" at joes on weed st. three things were learned from the experience: i am glad it is not sophomore year anymore; country night at joe's sucks; joe's on weed st in general sucks. I can't picture myself going there again, at least not without the words "law school

like many people, i think that february is the biggest damn tease month of the year. In chicago it is marked by freezing temperatures at the beginning, and then as the month goes on the temperature flucuates from blissful spring warmth back to the winter chills. as the winter has worn on, even though december was unseasonably warm, everything was dead, and as january came into its own the snow,

used to be friday night lights sometimes friday night fights these days it's mostly friday night drinking. A long day timewise, but not day wise. Went into 26/CA, did some fun stuff, we have a jury trial going on, so it's interesting to watch the judge get through a full and a half case load in just under 2 hours so that he can get to the jury (it's tabbed to be a 2 week trial).

Back in the saddle, after a week’s vacation in sunny FL visiting tim (I can see why the birds go south, and have been going south for centuries). Fun, relaxing, sunny, and most importantly, warm. Recommend: going to the stretch of beaches between st petersburg and clearwater. Well worth your time then a week long intensive trial advocacy program. 8 days of 8 am to 10 pm work. I put on a

One of the things that's pissing me off this week is all of the holier than thou shit that has accompanied this BALCO steroid mess. Of course taking steroids is wrong, harmful, and cheating. Of course these "role models" shouldn't do it and have been living lies. And of course all of these sportswriters knew it was going on. The league knew it was going on, if not by empirical evidence then the

Turkey dinner was a hell of a lot of good, clean fun. 28 people, 2 turkeys, and a potluck. it was a feast to rival all others. i hope everyone that came had fun, and if you didn't make it stop by the WPL...we have a lot of leftovers, and an entire turkey. on second thought, we might take the second turkey and donate it to a soup kitchen. do any of you faithful readers know of a soup kitchen/

what causes something to haunt you? i'm not talking slimer and the ghostbusters here. i'm talking about an experience, a person, a place, whose memory is a quiet, constant refrain in your mind. there doesn't have to be just one. i'd imagine that even the most normal of people has 2 or 3 of these things hanging around. isn't it amazing how you can go for a long time with that refrain in

in fact, probably the most awesome thing i've seen all week: i'm coming back from 26/CA, towards kent, and we're pulling onto 290. in front of us is a pink oldsmobile ragtop; riding on 22's with new, shiny rims; in the front are a pair of thugged out black dudes; on the bottom of the ragtop, underneath the rear window is the following phrase: "#1 Stunna!!!" it was awesome. i almost had my

what keeps people honest? I don't only mean the kind of honest that says 'don't tell lies about santa claus' but the kind of honest that leads people to not cheat on spouses, taxes, lie about personal history, etc. this is a question that i have been debating for the better part of the night now. in fact, it is keeping my sick ass up, so i thought i'd try to put something down to exorcize this

finding things to write about anymore is becoming tedious, at best. i haven't figured out exactly why, but i think it is because the highlight of my weekend is going to be hitting up a wingfest in wicker park. actually though, i'm not going. fuck those wings. fuck them in their buffalo sauce tossed asses. this blog is dangerously close to becoming a whiney bitch posting service, if it

i just wrote a post, hit backspace, and lost it. here's the highlights of a dull post. weekend: boring, filled with work. watching: grosse point blank listening to: nothing new, just some old stuff that i keep talking about. nick moved out of the WPL, sarna moved in. the triumverate is complete. a party should be in the works for sooner, rather than later. if i don't get a) my security

and we're off and running. school started up on monday, and my dumb ass has already been doing more work for it than i did last year. or at least it feels that way. 4 classes, only 2 finals, the other two are writing and clinic. it's funny in clinic because i'm one of the returning students, so it's assumed that i know something. ha, suckers. actually i think i do, and it's not taking me

it's time to welcome the three newest residents of the WPL (my apartment, the Wicker Park Lodge): my three new neon tetra fish: G. Heilman II, Bert, and Jameson. you might remember that i tried to raise fish earlier in the year with G. Heilman I, my ill fated betta fish. he lasted 3 days on (unknown to me) chlorinated water, no food, and cold temps. this time i bought an actual aquarium (2 gal)

editing your own writing is one of those things that can be such a rewarding pain in the ass that you love and hate to do it. case in point is this memo that i'm revising. it's to accompany a motion to dismiss that i wrote, and while it's solid, i really should have done this before i handed in draft #1 to the professor. that's where the pain comes in, you sit and reread your work after a

if this summer has had one constant, underlying theme, it's that of true change. when i graduated college last year it was assumed that was the time for change, in fact times like that are tailor made for such fanciful notions. the young man gets his degree and goes off into the world to make his mark, for the first time he is truly on his own and must make the adjustment to the real world.

if you haven't figured it out, i'm on a bit of a hiatus, regardless of my posts otherwise. don't worry, we'll be back soon enough. but, until then, just check back once a week or so. i don't need you all thinking that i'm here. when i won't be. so, boo yah. and rock

Busy busy busy. The clinic is taking up more time that i thought it would, which is good, but at the same time I'm neglecting things like this site and the laundry. So, an update: My cases in clinic are going well, from what i gather, but they've hit a bit of a wall in the past week. Nothing can be done about it, we're just waiting for the state to give us some responses to work off of. The

after studying today i hit the used bookstores in lakeview. for 28 bucks, i got the following 8(!) books, all for the summer reading list. in addition to these, there are still 3 or 4 books i'll probably get off of amazon and read. but, starting may 23rd, the great bill bookfest will begin with: (in no particular order) 1) lolita by nabakov 2) ender's game by card 3) a confederacy of dunces
