Law Prom

Dang!

I had been planning to wear this fabulous Jackie-O-ish gold gown to Law Prom tomorrow night. I got the dress about four years ago at a groovy little boutique in Boston. (Amy and I drove to Boston that summer & went to every vintage clothing store we could find there). What I forgot until I tried the dress on about 10 minutes ago is that I have gained about 15 pounds since that trip. So now I want to alter the dress, but I can't find my seam-ripper. How is this possible? How do I lose a seam-ripper! I used to have about 50 of those stupid things! Ack! Dang it! I should run over to Amy's house and borrow hers. I tried to sew my Supergirl costume for Halloween this year without the seam-ripper, and spent an awful amount of time trying to rip apart a seam using a scissors and a needle. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Just opened a bottle of cheap red wine. This is called "Jindalee"--a 2003 Shiraz with an orange turtle on the front. $6.99. It's pretty decent but too sweet (raspberry-ish.)

From 4-8 tonight I went to a CLE ("Continuing Legal Education") with Geoff and Summra. It was a panel on art and entertainment law. The attorneys who spoke represented rock bands, film producers, etc. Very cool stuff. I'm not interested in that so much, but with so many (v. talented) friends in comics I'm thinking it would definately be worthwhile to be able to offer some competent advice/representation and hopefully help them in their careers. After the presentation there were drinks and appetizers so we stuck around to socialize etc. I ran into an old co-worker from Chino Latino. Was great to catch up with her--she's going to school at Mitchell now and is also interested in immigration so we'll have to keep in touch.
