She does not suffer from a hermaphroditic condition -- that's not the issue here today.

Today I went to court. I was the undercover spy for my attorney since she could not be present to witness the arguing of the brief she ghostwrote. It's a transmarriage case, and the judge is a good one, so we're very helpful despite the incompetent nature of all counsel involved, including our co-counsel (especially our co-counsel). I met the client too, and fell immediately in love with her, partly because I was surprised at how gut-wrenching the whole proceedings were for me, so I can't even imagine how upsetting it must have been for her to sit there and listen to these judgmental freakshows speak of her life with inaccurate quasi-scientific, pseudo-legal terms. My favorite line came from opposing counsel -- her conclusion started with: "We all wish we could be something else, ....but that doesn't make it legally so."
Oh, bite me.

In other news, Madness Librarian agreed to help organize a film discussion group with me, and we had a lovely dinner and beer at Giordano's. He also makes a lovely uncle to our dog -- the wacky goofy uncle, of course. There was an incident during play last night where Sophie leapt off the couch and managed to bang her entire right side including the head, shoulder and paw regions. Normally she shakes off her concussions, but she actually limped around for a bit looking absolutely pitiful. Seconds later she bounded off to grab the parrot.

My head hurts. Again. Or more. Whichever. I think it may be caffeine withdrawal since I've consumed so much of it lately.

This concludes the sporadic update.
