Damn I forgot how hot this icon is

Last night for a brief period I had internet - they're upgrading the hotel wireless, and had no block on for a bit. I discovered the fountains have fishies, yay. I had coffee overlooking fishies today.

Last night I hit a good gym - xsport, which had a surprisingly good array of free weight items and only charged a guest rate of $10. I'm on my down week but was worried about my body-chemical-crap if I had odd sleep, odd time, odd food, and no exercise to boot.

6am breakfast is full of suits and guys who just worked out. Most people mean running on a treadmmill or just running when they say work out.

My hotel room has bits of glitter around - I don't even remember drinking, never mind passing out or the strippers.

This trip reminds me I miss flattop grill.

I woke up at 2, 3, 4...did some more prep work, re-did work and re-ordered that work...I'm overprepped for this hearing but for all I know I'll get surprised by something I shouuld have caught. Yay performance anxiety - I think fear of failure works for me as an attorney. Couldn't I have done this months ago? Will I make it today? Should I rely on my memory more and not try to read a damn script when I over-prepare?

I'm panicking not knowing when I get my top ranking (but not most important) witness today, or if I get him, due to jury duty. I'm ready for several fights today on procedural grounds - none of which I'm likely to win and that's ok in each case. I've named this case "Rat in the kitchen" which is great after re-discovering the english beat (the beat) and other similar songs on alt radio baltimore.

Man there's like 3 alt radio stations on the same area of the dial out here. Why oh why does DC radio have no alt choices? You fucking suck DC. Ok, I probably suck for being the only person in USia that doesn't listen to an ipod 20 hours a day.

Yeah I'm in panic mode now. I blame the fucking suit. I want to finish the hearing just to get ouf of this fucking suit. Suits attract glitter.

Whenever I'm back in DC I have found I can switch on DC 101 and be immediately transported back to 1997. Well either that or they're playing some whiny new shit and I turn it right off again. Are they still on the air?

I have an iPod, it's basically permanently docked into my shitty iHome alarm clock. I don't own headphones, I've always found them really uncomfortable.

YES you just described dc 101 to this day. I refer to them as crossing over from whiny shit to douchebag rock over and over.

For a contrast listen to b'more's 98rock, which is light on douches, remembers metal and respects current metal, and is um...rednecky the way we expect rock to be.

I listen to the radio all the time in my car. Mostly because I have an older car that only has a tape deck or radio as the options. Then again, if I had a newer car, I'd probably still listen to the radio since it's the only place I'd hear something different from what I already own. I was pretty happy when WHFS came back but, I believe it's only a Baltimore station now? Not sure how hard that would be to get in DC, either way other than their flashbacks, I'm not all that into what they play 100% of the time. I get DC 101 just fine, which is not always a blessing but, not WRNR 103.1 which is what we listen to at work, I think that's an Annapolis station or something.

I thought hfs was only on the internet - I'll have to look that up! I miss them a little, but I listen to alt radio on the road a lot and mroe in b'more where they have alt stations.

I do listen to music less than I used to though.

Hfs is 97.5 in Baltimore now, they just went live sometime in August I think. They still have Tim Virgin and Gina Crash. It was kind of surreal when I tuned in that first day.

Weird! I'll try it out, and hope it's old odd hfs and not the borderline alt-douchebag-rock crossover failure they descended to before dying.
