Q: How can you tell which is the transvestite male prostitute in the courtroom?
A: By his shiney, silvery, pretty pretty nails.
Yes. We represented a male prostitute today. I remember him from his arraignment. Today I worked with a new PD and he was excellent. The courtroom ran very smoothly and there were very few problems. One of my favorite prosecutors was there too. The Colleague thinks that he's dreamy. Today he wore a purple shirt and tie with his black suit. The Colleague and I were not a fan. I hear purple is the color for this season so we gave him extra points for trying to be trendy. After we were done in Courtroom 2, we went to Courtroom 6 to help another PD who was behind. He was hyper beyond all belief. A good lawyer, but just really hyper. I remember him from a case at the Court of Appeals last semester. I've come to realize that there are only 20 lawyers that handle cases in Toledo and I see them all the time. I'm exaggerating. Feel the power of my hyperbole. The Colleague and I got paid today, which means that we are going to get hookers. One person was charged with soliciting after offering oral pleasure for $20 and intercourse for $40. That's a steal! One person got charged with stealing shampoo and soap from Family Dollar. This made me very sad. The Colleague said that in Sylvania people get charged with writing bad checks all the time, because Wal-Mart is in Sylvania, and they always try to pass bad checks. The Colleague works in Sylvania on Wednesdays.
Lessons for Today: Don't come to court smelling like pot, Don't get found guilty of domestic violence charges more than once or the judge will send you to jail, Always wear your nicest Marithe & Francois Girbaud jeans to court because it impresses the judge
I got an email from Dan the other day. It made me very happy. It's amazing how one email can turn your day around and make it really great.
Jay went to the Imogen Heap concert on Wednesday at the Magic Bag. He said that the opener was a cellist who had some kind of recording device that operated by foot pedals so she could make loops. It sounds like it would have been amazing. At one point Imogen did the same thing but with her voice. I would have liked to have gone but I had two classes that night. I really want to know who cellist lady is. I love that kind of stuff. And Cellos. And Jellos. And Bellows. And Mellow Yellows. Do they still make Mellow Yellow? They should.
In other news, a line appeared on the screen of my computer so I have to send it in for repair. This will be a true test. Already it seems better but we could be in for another season of "Generally Inhospitable". God help me. I don't know how they will fix it. They may have to replace it completely, which would be cool. They didn't say that though. Is it possible to switch out screens? I'm not sure.
