Will probably look at tomatoes and alpacas, and contemplate drunken sailordom some more.
P.S. -- just got a mass email from my legal alma mater's alumni career counselor, which she sent out to touch base with all of us job-seekers. I love the way she talks. She tries to be really enthusiastic, but she always puts in these little backhanded remarks to deflate our hopes, dropping hints that either seem to say we're headed for another great depression or which devalue us for being in the position of needing to look for work, as though that meant that by definition, we are totally retarded. As in: "I know it's been a while since I spoke with many of you, and very probably few of you have been successful in your search . . ." It's almost endearing, like an unusual form of Tourette's Syndrome. "Wow, your resume is really polished now, looking pretty good THE ECONOMY IS SHIT YOU'LL NEVER WORK AGAIN AAAA!!!"
