those kids were kung-fu making up
Jul. 13th, 2007 08:08 amWell, the case I've been working my butt off on for the past two weeks has settled at the eleventh hour -- jury selection was today, and trial was set to start on Monday. On one hand, this is a very good thing. The settlement was on our terms, as far as I know, and now I don't have to work this weekend or over my vacation like I was going to have to if this thing went to trial. So this is good. It's good!
( On the other hand...here I am going all emo for a bit. )
This is completely unrelated to everything else, but I had a nicely surreal experience on the drive in to work this morning. I was sitting at the corner, waiting for the light to change so I could turn onto First, and I happened to glance over to the bus stop there and saw...a man dressed in a Star Wars t-shirt, white jeans, and a skullcap (?!), doing what was either very enthusiastic tai-chi, or incredibly bad kung-fu. Or demented karate. I honestly don't know the difference, especially not with the way he was doing it. He was doing that thing where you jump and spin and do a side kick? And then he crouched and did something all fwooshy with his hands? And then karate chops? I...I don't even know. At the BUS STOP.
It was a very "if it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college" moment*. I have a lot of those in Portland.
Bus stop ninja wannabes. O...kay.
