and the award for "most boring dinner companions" goes to...

andrew, grant, and emily!!!

(applause)

i'd like to thank the academy, erm, the law school, for so overwhelming me with mind-numbing crap as to render me incapable of enjoying or engaging the company of my good friends andrew and grant. seriously, law school -- this one's for you! i couldn't have done it without you!

yep. grabbed dinner tonight with grant, who's got federal income tax at 0900, and andrew, who was running a fever of 102 earlier today. we were a barrel o' monkeys! man! fun has never been had like the fun shared between the three of us at dinner. and by fun i mean the complete lack thereof. we were pathetic. conversation went like this:

emily: so, um, yeah...
andrew: what?
grant: (stares at food)

if i didn't know those two so well i'd swear that we had nothing in common. unfortunately, it's our current common experience (i.e., law school and finals) that has directly resulted in our worthlessness to each other right now.

good times!
