divine angst

Friday Spies: Uhm, yeah, we started at the regular time today. It’s not a half day or anything.

Via Fitz-Hume and Milbarge, who proffered this lame excuse for the late questions: “Alarms didn’t go off, snooze buttons were hit, people overslept. It happens. I apologize for the delay, but the upside is that readers contributed all of this week’s questions. Enjoy!”

1. From Janie Q: “How about your favorite tv show when you were a kid, and why hasn’t it been remade into a movie, or if it has, how was that movie, or maybe it shouldn’t be remade at all?”

Hee! Favorite show as a kid? The Dukes of Hazzard. I am sad to say that it, however, is being made into a movie, a very wrong movie with a very wrong, ever-shrinking, dumb blonde portraying the savvy, brunette Daisy. Phooey on them, I say!

2. Stag asks: “Tell us about your favorite vacation or your fav place to go on vacation.”

I covered this one in my essentials post, and those choices still stand.

3. Soup inquires: “Are you a fan of Get Fuzzy?”

Hadn’t seen it till now, but it looks like something I could become fond of, if I had time to add a cartoon to my daily dose of blogs and news.

4. Sebastian Haff has a burning desire to know: “[Which] celebrities [do] you think are most likely to pose in Playboy and why[?]”

I’m searching my brain for the names of B-list actresses who will jump on the “it’s all for my career” bandwagon and pose for Hugh. But I’m coming up short. I will say this, though—despite the hopes of a million dirty old men, the Olsen twins are never going to pose for Playboy. They’ve already got more money than God, so there’s no incentive. Sorry.

5. Energy Spatula gets to the heart of the matter with the final question for the week: “Why don’t you write about which one [Fitz-Hume or Milbarge] is a huge liar?”

You know, this is a good question. First, we have FH’s deliberate misrepresentation of himself as a metrosexual when, in fact, he’s just a good old boy who likes to shovel some s**t. And Milbarge? With his “oh, I CAN’T blog anymore, I just CAN’T, and I CAN’T tell you why!” but then coming back two months later? I think they’re both full of it.

So law school is something like 2-1/2 months away and we’ll be moving in about two months and yet many things are still up in the air. True, we’re going up to find our apartment in two weeks, but finding a place to live is pretty low on my list of things to worry about. What things are high on that list?

Well, for one, I haven’t received paperwork for my “financial aid package” (student loans). Law School said they’d send that stuff in early June. Hey! It’s early June! Mr. Angst is already filling out his promissory notes and doing his entrance interviews for his federal loans. Me, though? Just sitting here, waiting for information. Argh! I guess I could be trying to secure my private loans, you know, for that remainder that my federal loans and “need-based” loans won’t cover (I guess they call that the “estimated family contribution”) but I don’t even know who my school’s preferred lenders are. I like using preferred lenders. They’re preferred for a reason, after all. Truth be told, I’m starting to feel a little nervous about the loans and their procurement and whatnot.

What else am I worried about? Well, I’m not really worried about it, but I haven’t gotten any information on Orientation yet. I think a list of fun stuff Law School has planned for me in the last week of August might brighten my spirits a bit, during this dry, waiting period.

Update: Welcome, JD2B readers! Wander about and stay awhile.
