Wait until in two months. That's the real milestone there.

I've been accepted into Fitocracy! Now to exercise the shit out of my various bodyparts.

[Pnx]

I think I'm going to do an image Let's Play of The Sims 3. Because I've always wanted to do a Let's Play.

[Sirus]

Yay!

[Pnx]

I shall take your "Yay!" as a sign of approval, the game is on.

Made my first foray into Total War: Shogun 2 avatar multiplayer today. First battle a 2v2 where we more or less 1v1'd the opponents across from us (except for one guys cavalry units which I chased into my allies army). Cue getting called a hacker because I supposedly have access to units I shouldn't have due to my 0 rank. Only reason I can think of that I had those units might be because I have all the DLC and I joined the B12 clan that was on there as soon as I connected. Speaking of which does anyone here still play Total War: Shogun 2?

While at home sick yesterday (and tending to a sick 5-year old), we played some Costume Quest together. Got up to the final boss fight (I think) before stopping for the day. It's a nice little game. Good intro to the adventure genre for younger players. It's a good bit like Final Fantasy For Kids, but with Tim Schafer's writing and sense of humor. But all of the mechanics are tried-and-true JRPG.

I am a complete idiot.

In the largest case I've ever had.... Today, I "found," but really was offered $100,000 cash to withdraw as counsel from a case. I don't even carry cash in my wallet anymore, so seeing 1000 $100 dollar bills is a little rare. Moreover, that's a significant portion of my law school debt-- years of student loan payments, not to mention the interest saved and being "tax free." They may have heard about my possibly changing careers to financial analysis and inferred some financial troubles.... They are unfortunately correct on that point.

I took the money, took a moment, photographed it, had the secretary double count it in my office, and then left it with the police. I suppose I should've never taken it in the first place, but this way they don't get it back.... I somehow don't think I'll get it back, or that the people who sent it to me will claim it.... I think I just helped solve the city's budget problems....

$100,000. I don't know whether to be insulted or flattered. They can't buy me, but if they're trying to, then I must be getting to them. Unfortunately, I don't think I can link it to opposing counsel conclusively, or else I'd clearly be filing a complaint against him with the bar. However, this whole thing reeks of him. My boss is upset with me, allegedly because I didn't tell him about it first, but I suspect other reasons.... Moreover, I somehow doubt any of this will come out in court given that its not admissible in the case.... No one will really appreciate it. I'd heard of things like this happening, but I never really believed any of it.

I am a complete idiot. I'm a complete fucking idiot....

Secretary, "I'm sorry I ever thought people like you were immoral.... I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're not" She always was a clever one. She knows how I really am, she's probably known for some time, and I don't think she'll say anything.

[JoshuaFH]

As always, you're pretty awesome Truean. Don't beat yourself up about it.

[Shakerag]

If you're being offered that kind of money to withdraw from a case ... That sounds like some scary crap you're into there.  I'd love to hear more details, but I get the feeling you can't provide them. 

Sounds like maybe your boss might be in on something too?  :-/

[Peewee]

(offered 100 grand to back out of a case, refused)

And Truean was never heard from again.

[Nadaka]

I guess it would have been unethical to take the money and just say "thanks for the free money, now I have the resources to fight you that much harder."

[Aklyon]

Truean, I'd say you're becoming the Vector of lawyering/financing around here.

[Pnx]

I'm going to advertise for my let's play again, because traffic is slow and I'm worried that the game will crash before I can finish these characters.

Witches' Coven is over. Well that was fun.
