Stolen Lines #2

Posted on February 09, 2009
"Ghosts definitely live here," I say. The rules: Start your post with the above line. End your post with "I stole the first line of this post from You'll Never Eat Lunch in This town Again, by Julia Phillips" And maybe link back to me so people can understand the point of the post...

Stolen Lines #2 Date

It was pretty fun the first time around. Let's do it again. I'll post the next stolen line on Monday, February 9th. I really hope people get into it again. If you're new and want to know what the fuck "Stolen Lines" is all about, read here. Just do it...

This is Not Going to Be A Funny Post. Unless You're an Asshole.

The cat picture is just for cuteness. It's not even that cute. Actually it's kinda gross. And I bet the cat fucking hates it. This week was a big week for me. I've alluded many times to "that one thing" that's happening soon, but I couldn't talk about what it was...

RIP Beth

You weren't just another fish to me. You were special. Mostly because you lived longer than a day. I'll miss your sassy ways. I'm planning a very elaborate memorial for you. You'll just have to trust me on that. You are totally in fish heaven, Little Lady...

So, for those of you who have read my blog for awhile, you know that there's "this thing" that I can't talk about. Actually, technically, I CAN talk about it. I can talk about whatever the hell I want. I guess I mean, I don't, or won't, talk about it...

Why

Posted on January 15, 2009
Tonight in Chicago, it's -11 degrees. We've all known for a few days that Thursday was going to be the coldest day that Chicago has seen in over 8 years. I, personally, have been terrified of today. I don't handle the cold well. However, I have so much other shit going on in my life that I have tried to block out the truly terrifying...

I am so glad that people are into it. I totally am thrilled. I want to take a moment and reiterate... there IS NO DEADLINE. I don't know where you got that idea! Write whenever you like! Just let me know if and when you post and I will let the Law With Grace readers know.

Dear "Dude" on the Brown Line,

Posted on January 12, 2009
I didn't take your picture on the el, because, well... you weren't talking on your cell phone loudly, or talking to someone else on the train loudly, or masturbating, or crying, or muttering, or anything else that would actually warrant a picture. But what you were doing was something that I, and perhaps I alone caught, and I was mortified on your behalf...

My Stolen Lines #1

I tried to think of the right answer. Unable to think of that, I spoke anyway. "He wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's, right?" "No, Dear. that was Truman Capote." "Oh. Right. He's the In Cold Blood guy. Of course." "No, Dear, that was also Capote." "Oh...

"I tried to think of the right answer. Unable to think of that, I spoke anyway." Update: And the Artful Blogger's is up. OK. So I've slightly altered the plan. Originally, I thought the title of the book should be the blog post title, but that might confuse people into thinking that what we write is actually an excerpt from the book...

To Person Who Found My Blog By Googling "Define Clam Jouster"

Posted on December 31, 2008
It's a derogatory yet hilarious term for lesbian. For example, at a lesbian bar, one woman might say to another, "I find you very attractive. Do you wish to joust with my clam?" Hope that helps. Happy New Year.

Awesome

Yay. Enough people are interested in the same line blogging thing so we're doing it. On Monday, January 5, I'll post the name of the book or article, which should be the title of the post, and a line from the book or article, which should be everyone's first line...

Dear My Fellow Bloggers,

I have an idea. An experiment. It might be stupid, but it might be kind of cool. I spoke with a couple of people already, and they seemed to be leaning toward the cool side. So here goes:We pick a day. And on that day, I pick up a book or newspaper article, and the title of that book or newspaper article will be the title of everyone's blog post...

Grace's How to Guide for Getting Through the Holidays

Posted on December 24, 2008
1. Don't drink too much.2. Definitely drink enough. 3. If someone starts crying, ignore them. If that doesn't work, ask them if they wouldn't mind getting something out of your car, and then lock them out of the house. Christmas is tough. No cryin4...

Public Service Announcement

My phone is dead. Very Very dead. I hate it. And I am glad it's dead. It deserves death. It deserves worse than death. I am hoping, that if and when Verizon is able to retrieve my contacts from the phone, they will let me torture the phone a bit. By throwing it, jumping up and down on it, and then setting it on fire...

Experiment

Posted on December 21, 2008
So, I don't know why we decided to do this, and I don't know what we will really gain by doing this, and most of all, as midnight approaches, I don't know that I can even do it...but here's the plan.br /br /Squid and I, over drinks last week (duh.. who would decide this sober), decided that Monday would be our technology free day...

12:10 So far so good. I took a half day today. I brought my luggage with me, and am now on my way to visit the agent and her wife in Detroit. Normally, I would drive, but at the last minute I decided to give the train a shot. It's shit ass cold, so I took a cab from the courthouse to Union Station...

Last night after work, Squid, Dirty Hippie, and I went to a little place near the office for a glass of wine. We go to this place fairly frequently, and are on a first name basis with the bartender. The usual patrons of the bar are either lawyers or judges who work in the nearby courthouse, or well-dressed theatre patrons on their way to see Wicked, or a Christmas Carol...

Dear Metra,It's been a few months now. A few great months. No complaints. You've been steady, and precise, and reliable. Every time, you get me where I need to be. Right on schedule. I want us always to be honest with each other, and so I have something I must tell you...

Happy Floating Holiday!!

Posted on November 17, 2008
In case you are new to my blog, you should know that I HATE holidays. They are designed to torture me. And I realy can't emphasize this enough. However, this one called Grace's Floating Holiday, is truly delightful! So far, I have slept in, drank the traditional Floating Holiday Diet Coke, and had some traditional Rule 23 Tacos...

Every year, you are consistently on my "Why I Hate The Holidays" list. Here's why:Have any of you people ever had dogs as pets? You have? Ok good. That's a start. So, you know when someone knocks on your door or rings your doorbell? What does your dog do? Your dog BARKS...

Veterans Day

Posted on November 10, 2008
Today is Veteran's Day, and I want to take a moment and thank my favorite veteran for her service in the armed forces. Army Girl, as she's called on this blog, was (duh) in the Army for like 12 years. She did a bunch of amazing stuff. She travelled to amazing places, and fought for this country with bravery and patriotism, and a genuine desire to make the world a safer place...
