baby lawyers and power chords.

ok, i am not going to talk about power chords right now. i have to upload some photos from opening before i can do that; but good times will follow.

today i will instead, as the title suggests, talk about baby lawyers.

today was the second time i had helped out with the interview portion of the law certification (or whatever...) exams and it's always so fun.

first of all, i got $175 for five hours of work as well as breakfast, lunch and free parking. this was an acting gig and the deal is that you whip out your business casual clothes and memorize all this character information and head down to hotel and interview 8 or 9 baby attorneys. your job is to make them ask you questions about your case so that they can give you legal advice and then you get to decide if you'd like to 'retain their services'.

last year i was getting divorced and all i wanted was my boat; i'd put the bastard through school after all! this year my 85 yr. old friend howard had died and his bastard son had cut me out of his will when he'd promised me his 1958 chevy impala.

last year i chose to focus on how important it was that i get what i am financially entitled to, but that's because my character was rich. this year i focused on making them feel bad for how expensive they were. afterall, all i did was work in a bookstore...i don't have $300/hr.

it's such a fun day and i get to schmooze and hang out with all these people that i never get to see. plus it's $175 i didn't have before that can go straight onto my visa so i can get this bright eyes hoodie that i want...

i like watching their hands as they write about my dire circumstances. their hands move so quickly but they're also incredibly nervous...i know how that feels. it's like an audition for your whole life. also, they always have nice clothes. my hems are falling down and i wore vans.

what a day!
