Country Mouse Goes to the Big City

Because I have nothing better to do...

2006-05-12T18:13:00.000-07:00

Technically, I should be studying. In reality, I am doing just about anything but. Here are some pictures from our last night of the law school bowling league. Also, there are some pictures from my weekend at Shawnee National Park. The pictures are from "The Garden of the Gods".

Finally, does anyone have any ideas about how to use iPhoto (Mac) to upload pictures to Blogger? I have to figure this out soon, as I will be in The Big City in two weeks and my clunky PC will not be accompanying me. Hope things are well!

2006-05-12T18:09:00.000-07:00

Thanks Jon for driving every week!

2006-05-12T18:08:00.001-07:00

Team Trannie! Congrats to Vijay, Jon, Scott and myself for not being last in the league!

2006-05-12T18:08:00.000-07:00

This is why we really bowl. Beer and pizza.

2006-05-12T18:07:00.001-07:00

A Country Mouse special. And that's after two rolls.

2006-05-12T18:07:00.000-07:00

Team Trannie plus a Foreigner.

2006-05-12T18:06:00.000-07:00

Despite all the smelly tourists, it was actually quite peaceful.

2006-05-12T18:05:00.002-07:00

I jumped off that. (Just kidding, Ma.)

2006-05-12T18:05:00.001-07:00

Pure grace.

2006-05-12T18:05:00.000-07:00

Others enjoying nature. They were mostly German.

2006-05-12T18:04:00.002-07:00

Pretty tree.

2006-05-12T18:04:00.001-07:00

Hahahaha. I mean, what?

2006-05-12T18:04:00.000-07:00

Here's the explanation. From the experts.

2006-05-12T18:03:00.001-07:00

Lizard! Lizard! Lizard!

2006-05-12T18:03:00.000-07:00

The outdoors. Very foreign to a law student.

2006-05-12T18:02:00.000-07:00

Rocks and stuff growing on rocks.

2006-05-12T18:01:00.001-07:00

More rocks.

2006-05-12T18:01:00.000-07:00

Tree and rock. Seriously should get paid for this.

2006-05-12T18:00:00.000-07:00

Roots. We all have'em.

2006-05-12T17:59:00.001-07:00

Ewww...It looks like my shower...

2006-05-12T17:59:00.000-07:00

Nature's reminder of the luck of not being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

2006-05-12T17:58:00.000-07:00

The road ahead.

I don't think this counts as a big city adventure...

2006-04-11T14:41:00.000-07:00

But an adventure nonetheless. We went to Virginia for the annual law school softball tournament. The trip turned up great one-liners, such as, "If you don't stop that, I am going to take these keys out of the ignition and stab you", "People burn their trash? Ew.", and "I threw up this many times [indicating three by a count of fingers] in Virginia bathrooms." I have a bunch more pictures, but I can't get the darn things to post and contrary to popular belief, I am pretty busy, so this will do it for now. Hope things are well!

2006-04-10T22:03:00.000-07:00

With laser tag!

2006-04-10T21:59:00.000-07:00

Just in case you have not encountered an indoor restroom door or lock before.

2006-04-10T21:57:00.001-07:00

Doty enjoys the phenomenon of the Swedish Fish.

2006-04-10T21:57:00.000-07:00

Chicken in a biskit. With real dehydrated chicken.

2006-04-10T21:56:00.002-07:00

Alex and Jorge lament their poor beer-pong showing.

2006-04-10T21:56:00.001-07:00

Re-packing.

2006-04-10T21:56:00.000-07:00

Yes, but after this legislation passes, they are going to cost a fortune.

2006-04-10T21:55:00.001-07:00

Just in case you had forgotten.

2006-04-10T21:55:00.000-07:00

Hahahahahahahaha. I love the south.

2006-04-10T21:54:00.002-07:00

Alex's first law home

2006-04-10T21:54:00.001-07:00

Perhaps you want to wait until it seems like less of a passing fad...

2006-04-10T21:54:00.000-07:00

This is the chapel that contains Robert E. Lee. I asked Doty to lie down in front like the statue of Lee inside, but apparently that is disrepectful. Come on, the guy's been dead for a while, plus they lost the war.

2006-04-10T21:52:00.002-07:00

More pretty flowers

2006-04-10T21:52:00.001-07:00

Lonely Conley Pics.

2006-04-10T21:52:00.000-07:00

Lawn at UVA.

2006-04-10T21:51:00.003-07:00

Damn hippies.

2006-04-10T21:51:00.002-07:00

I just find this funny.

2006-04-10T21:51:00.001-07:00

Neck hair. Ew.

2006-04-10T21:51:00.000-07:00

It's Friday night. Where are we? That's right, the law library.

2006-04-10T21:50:00.000-07:00

Um, but I only get a six-month grace period on all the money that someone else paid you so I could graduate.

2006-04-10T21:49:00.001-07:00

Ron Burgundy was a distinguished member of the UVA law faculty after leaving the newsteam.

2006-04-10T21:49:00.000-07:00

She's nervous...will she do it?

2006-04-10T21:48:00.002-07:00

Alex gets ramped up to take a swig. Doty continues to be creepy.

2006-04-10T21:48:00.001-07:00

She drinks..

2006-04-10T21:48:00.000-07:00

Alex feels the full glory of the Cisco.

2006-04-10T21:47:00.002-07:00

Awww...look how sober/respectable we are.

2006-04-10T21:47:00.001-07:00

The kids play drunken video bowling.

2006-04-10T21:47:00.000-07:00

The sexy belt-buckles of two men I encountered.

2006-04-10T21:46:00.001-07:00

Even the poor are well-off in Virginia.

2006-04-10T21:46:00.000-07:00

Doty in the outfield. (Yeah, he's the small figure in the middle. They wouldn't let me on the field for a close-up.)

2006-04-10T21:45:00.000-07:00

Doty swings. He missed. But we still love him.

2006-04-10T21:44:00.002-07:00

I thought that after Enron, we would stop running businesses in that way...

2006-04-10T21:44:00.001-07:00

Alex with her gorgeously intoxicating $12 drink.

2006-04-10T21:44:00.000-07:00

Alex with her W&L 1L friends.

2006-04-10T21:43:00.001-07:00

Jorge breaks it down for the people.

2006-04-10T21:43:00.000-07:00

Wow, we are drunk. Except for Doty. Who just mocked us. Brutally.

2006-04-10T21:42:00.001-07:00

Trannie Attack (with 3Ls).

2006-04-10T21:42:00.000-07:00

Team captain Chris engages in the ritualistic dance requesting for the blessing of the softball gods.

2006-04-10T21:41:00.000-07:00

Alex joins the invocation.

2006-04-10T21:40:00.001-07:00

Happy Birthday Jorge! (They spelled your name in such a weird way on the cake...)

2006-04-10T21:40:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Jorge's parents for such a great meal on the long trip home!

2006-04-10T21:39:00.000-07:00

Jorge's strange, loud-breathing, devil-dog.

2006-04-10T21:38:00.000-07:00

Um, stolen plate? Or just Hyde Park classy? You decide.

2006-04-10T21:37:00.000-07:00

Drunk in our new favorite burrito place. As self-respecting women, they refuse to be photographed with such men.

2006-04-10T21:35:00.000-07:00

A rare photograph of Doty's "girlfriend" interacting with him. Looks more like self-defense to me.

2006-04-10T21:34:00.000-07:00

Doty behaves inappropriately in the cab.

2006-04-10T21:33:00.000-07:00

Doty in theory has a "girlfriend" who lives in "Canada". (Actually, Wisconsin, but same thing right?) She remains elusive.

2006-04-10T21:32:00.000-07:00

Doty's "girlfriend" remains elusive.

2006-04-10T21:31:00.001-07:00

Hoodlums on the bus.

2006-04-10T21:31:00.000-07:00

Figures. He had to get a girl this hot drunk before he could he near her.

2006-04-10T21:21:00.000-07:00

Clouds.

2006-04-10T21:20:00.000-07:00

Clouds. Like you couldn't figure that out.

2006-04-10T21:19:00.001-07:00

I touch to fuzzy goodness of Rob's shirt in a shameless attempt to be close to him.

2006-04-10T21:19:00.000-07:00

Rare photographs of the elusive "Jess" rumored to live and work in Cleveland.

2006-04-10T21:18:00.001-07:00

Awww...it's just like 1L.

2006-04-10T21:18:00.000-07:00

Toria prepares to deflect the sarcastic comments of friends.

2006-04-10T21:16:00.001-07:00

Yay friends!

2006-04-10T21:16:00.000-07:00

Rob is still trying. Everyone else understands what a group photo is.

2006-04-10T21:15:00.000-07:00

Rob and friends attempt to re-enact Jesus's last supper. Doesn't seem to catch.

2006-04-10T21:14:00.003-07:00

Chris laughs along.

2006-04-10T21:14:00.002-07:00

More countryside.

2006-04-10T21:14:00.001-07:00

Countryside.

2006-04-10T21:14:00.000-07:00

Open road on the way to Cleveland.

Watch me grow...

2006-02-20T19:35:00.000-08:00

I mean, glow. Here are pictures of Doty. We are going to call these the "before" pictures (hopefully). Track Doty's transformation as he turns from an average law student into a mean, lean, injustice-fighting machine. If anyone else would like to participate in our game, please send me pictures of yourself (you can hide your face if you prefer - here in Chicago we have no shame). I will have more pictures as soon as I figure out how to get them off of my email.

2006-02-20T19:27:00.000-08:00

Here's looking at you, kid (in a creepy pedophile sort of way)

2006-02-20T19:25:00.000-08:00

Here is where it's at...yeppers, all of it.

Life Without Glasses

2006-01-15T21:56:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday everybody! I didn't get arrested or detained, kept both of my shoes on until I got home, became intoxicated, and danced with strangers like I was turning 21 instead of 25. Thanks to Alex for hosting my party and getting me trashed, thanks to Aspen for keeping track of me and all of my stuff, thanks to everyone who was willing to be seen dancing with me, and thanks to Melissa for the cake. There are some pictures of me with my new contacts (or, I guess, without my glasses). It's been a great month of partying - now time to be a student again...

2006-01-15T21:55:00.000-08:00

My response to Jeff's command to "be sexy" - I don't know whether I am too old or just out of practice.

2006-01-15T21:53:00.000-08:00

The drive over.

2006-01-15T21:52:00.000-08:00

Group "before" picture.

2006-01-15T21:51:00.001-08:00

Alex's hot stripper shoes. She danced in these things.

2006-01-15T21:51:00.000-08:00

Peter and Aspen looking excited to be alive.

2006-01-15T21:50:00.001-08:00

Alex and Lis practice their sexy look.

2006-01-15T21:50:00.000-08:00

Trannie Jonathan.

2006-01-15T21:49:00.002-08:00

Second attempt at "sexy".

2006-01-15T21:49:00.001-08:00

Cab ride to the club - yes, we are already trashed. But, again, cab driver was probably the most interesting person I met all night.

2006-01-15T21:49:00.000-08:00

Trannies.
