Couplea Things...

1. This video pleases me on SO many levels- good music, ridiculous music, Asians, slo mo, etc. Enjoys:


2. Remember when I was all super amped about winning my jury trial last post? Well, word to the wise for all noob Public Defender. That shit fades, and fades quickly. It took all of one day before I had an "in-custody" client (someone who was in jail and wasn't getting out on their own recognizance) ask for my bar number so that they could "file a complaint." Before you get all concerned for my professional liability, it's fine. Still, no matter how crazy the client is, it always rattles your cage.

3. Speaking of rattling cages, the juvenile deliquency attorney in my office (the public defender of kids accused of committing crimes) provided me with the most touching, soul-crushing poetry of one of her clients who has overcome SO much. I won't get in to details, but suffice it to say, you should all be hugging the nearest person you care about. Seriously. There's so much pain and crap that comes through my office and just in the world in general. I know it's cliche, and I know it's cheese, but this week I was genuinely forced to count my lucky stars. And I have more than I probably deserve. Probably deserve? Fuck that, I don't deserve half as much as I have, so I'll just say it- If you're reading this, I'm happy you're in my life and have consistently put up with my shit.

5. California is nonsensical- This weekend I had the joy to be in the Sac Area with AMAZING people enjoying the State Fair and Downtown Davis. The company was great- however the temperatures topped the low 100's. And yes it was a dry heat, but still... Oddly, I'm still in the same state and I'm pretty sure it topped out at 61 today. Odd...
