killer? me?

today i had a federal judge compare me to Aileen Wuornos.

i was playing officer juarez in the mock trial today...that was the corrupt cop. i was a hostile witness for the plaintiff. i was being a hard-nosed jerk, not particularly talkative at all, and unapologetic for what i did. (it's a legal malpractice case...the plaintiff is suing the defense attorney from her assault trial, and i played the cop who planted the gun and claimed she assaulted me.) anyway, i finish my testimony, the coaches go over the attorneys' comments, and then the head coach goes:

"has anyone seen monster, that movie with charlize theron? you were the main character from that movie, the serial killer!"

that amused me way too much. i thought i was being menacing, i had no idea i came off as that menacing. then again, he had never seen me before as anything but bubbly and enthusiastic.

chocolate city

i found this article online. apparently, people are complaining about the fact that parts of downtown chicago smell like chocolate.

this makes me really sad. it's one of the coolest things about downtown chicago...something that always brought a smile to my face when i walked around. what other cities have vast swaths of the main commercial district that smell like chocolate? i can't think of one. i don't mind the EPA busting the plant for dust, and i'm all for stopping the plant from releasing more dust into the air. but, i can't believe people are complaining about the chocolate. it's a bit of whimsy in the midst of the city.

they don't deserve a lawsuit for the yummy chocolate scent. they deserve a medal.
