Be nice to the zombies

[calgrad]

The second night of the shows in Boston coincides with the first day of the Massachusetts bar exam, which will be administered about a block away from the venue.  So if you arrive at the show early, do not be alarmed by the thousands of dazed, pale people who may be wandering around.  If you do not provoke them, they will not hurt you.  So do not poke them with sticks (battery!), or shout at them (intentional infliction of emotional distress! er, maybe...), or run them over with your car (negligence!).  Just let them be, and soon they will scurry away into the shadows to prepare for the next day's testing without inflicting upon you the Article 2 distinctions of contract formation, the different types of future property interests, or each of the elements behind the various common law property crimes.  Trust me on this, you wouldn't like it one bit if they did.  (For instance, ever wonder why we have the expression "dying of boredom"?  If you don't take these precautions, you might find out.)

Go Calgrad!  Will you be one of the zombies?  GOOD LUCK!  And congrats again!  Best, Lea

[calgrad]

Thanks for the congrats!  But not quite out of the woods yet...

Will you be one of the zombies?

Yes I will be a zombie, but no, not there.  My favorite bar band has most inconveniently decided to play my erstwhile hometown while I'll be taking the bar ... in another state.  Such nerve!

I do get to see them in said state right before, but I'm not sure on retrospect that's such a good idea.  For one, there's the zombie problem.  For another, it's just the kind of law-addled stressful roadtrip involving HLN which is sure to induce yet another packing disaster...

On the other hand, I get to celebrate my hell 3-day test being over the next day with not just one but TWO concerts!  But it's hard to look forward to it, because much as I can't wait for the concerts to get here I am in no way ready for the test to get here...

Hey Calgrad

You're sounding more and more like any attorney with every post   .. Best of luck on the Bar.

Truly you have a dizzying intellect! 

BTW, was retrospect the correct word to use? "retrospect: A review, survey, or contemplation of things in the past."

That's a compliment, right?

I do feel that lately I'm sounding more and more like a zombie, however...  If I'm not a drooling imbecile by the time Saratoga Springs rolls around it will be a miracle.  A legally-sophisticated drooling imbecile, perhaps, but not the witty and brilliant conversationalist you've all come to expect

BTW, was retrospect the correct word to use? "retrospect: A review, survey, or contemplation of things in the past." 

As a matter of fact, smartypants, it was.  While the concert may not be in the past, the decision to attend it is.  It was made long ago, back before I had any inkling of the full depth of my impending zombiehood.  So there.

(Really now.  You should totally know better than get into a battle of wits with a zombie.)
