Mar. 5th, 2006 11:44 pmwell, back from kansas city. chris' team hit arkansas this morning, the team that eliminated my team yesterday afternoon. they put up a great trial, and i would have sworn they won...but they lost a split decision. that means neither of us are going to nationals, since only the winner moves on.
still...chris was amazing. he gave such a great cross. did i ever mention how sexy people get even sexier when they mock extraordinarily well? because they really, really do.
this was a weekend full of whisky tango foxtrots. that's about all i can say. some of the highlights, lowlights, and...key confusions...include...
--we really, really should have gotten and submitted some itemized receipts from Totally Nude, just to see what the administration would do. (yes, there was a strip club right by the yummy thai restaurant in downtown kansas city. no, we didn't go in.)
--driving a train through a door: it's the perfect metaphor for anything, be it extremely frightening sex or simply rebutting something prejudicial in trial.
--you don't stand up, indignant, to ask an attorney to "take a recess to discuss with their witness the implications of perjury"--especially when what the witness just said was in her deposition, verbatim.
--if you worked at a place for five years, you know if you used a piece of equipment, or you didn't. "i don't know" just doesn't cut it there.
--opposing counsel told a story about a dog that didn't bark. that reminds me of a story about a dog...actually, some fox hunting dogs.
--chris is a trial advocacy studmuffin. (yes, i knew that already, but he reeeeeeeeally did it for some hot blonde judge this weekend, and she basically had an orgasm during comments, raving about how much he reeeeeeeeeeeeally did it for her. but, hey...he went home with me and not the hot blonde judge... *snicker*)
i know there are more silly things that happened this weekend. i'm tired and i'm blanking out, though, so maybe i'll remember them later.
and, for anyone who's going to be in st. paul for silver flight...i just made my bus reservations for that. i'll be there the whole weekend, and i may even be judging rounds there. *grin* see you in st. paul!!!
