everything will be alright

So, today was pretty good. I ended up getting my first hug from the parent of a client, as I successfully argued someone's case in court. The guy was already serving a sentence arising from a breach of probation, and he might've been in jail until his trial on this other matter in frickin' December. He didn't deserve any time at all for the original charge, so we dealt with that and now once he's finished this short sentence, he's out for good. All hands were very grateful, it's nice to be able to help people when they need it. ^_^

Tomorrow should be good, I was working late last night for today's court appearance so I'm leaving after lunch. I'll be heading for Gander, staying with a friend there tomorrow night and then attending the Salmon Festival. It should be fun, though the only band I really wanna see is The Tragically Hip. I'm sure the other bands will be ok too, and we're not going 'til later on anyway. Good times!

So I'll be back on Sunday I think, not sure if I'll be online at all from now 'til then, but I'm sure you'll all be fine without me. :)

Oh! I also recently submitted some Firefly icons (of Kaylee, specifically) to this community, abc_icons, in this post here. They're not that good, but a few came out ok. It was my first stab at doing a theme, and hopefully I'll get better at it, but check them out if you'd like. :D

So, I started watching Firefly again last night. I've been meaning to forever, but kept putting it off or forgetting about it. I watched the whole first disc yesterday though, good times. I remember watching the first 10-15 minutes of the first episode for the first time and not being impressed, but then again I had no idea what the show was about then. It looked like a show about intergalactic war or something, but it's much better than that. :D Watching it for the second time is even better than the first, I think. And I haven't even seen the best episodes yet, just the first four!

I also finished reading Neverwhere last night, which was great. I read almost half the book yesterday... well, over one third at any rate. It was sunny out, so I read outside for a bit until it got cold, then I went to bed early and read more. Of course, I wanted to finish it so I was up until 2am or so anyway, defeating the whole purpose for going to bed early. >.>

Today has gone well so far, I'm just home from lunch and have to go back in a bit. I hope I didn't just jinx myself. We'll see, at any rate.
