GenCon!

It's official! I signed up for GenCon after ABS reminded me that tomorrow is the deadline for registration. Just got my event badge ($65) and signed up for a couple of scrabble tournaments. Will think about signing up for a massive Civilization game next. Perhaps I'll also see what ABS and his friends are up to and try to go to some of the same games.

Work today was very, er, unproductive, shall we say. The interns snuck out mid-morning to go to a nearby bar to watch the doomed US-Ghana game for the World Cup. We were not happy when we left the bar.

Had lunch with an attorney from the Federal Defender's office in N-Town. It was very interesting and informative. The attorney talked very candidly about his work, the good parts and the bad, and how an outsider perceives our office. I had a bacon cheeseburger and curly fries for lunch.

Later this afternoon, witnessed a semi-high-profile guilty plea for a map thief who stole some antique maps from, among others, the rare books library of my alma mater. The story apparently received some media attention, and there were hordes of cameramen and journalists waiting on the courthouse steps for the defendant. My fellow interns and I watched the commotion in the background, and I think I caught a glimpse of myself on the 6 o'clock evening news.

In the evening, Boyfriend and I went to a premium outlet mall about 30 minutes away from where we live. Finally bought some proper work shoes. So far this summer I have already spent over $1K on my wardrobe!

Sauteed beef liver for dinner. Yum.

:D IM with S made me feel semi warm and fuzzy.
:( Messy apartment. Need to clean up for the party on Monday!
