OOC
Oh HAI FRIENDS! I've missed you terribly. The insanity that is my life has finally settled down a bit and I would love nothing more than to be allowed to come back and play with you guys. I know I've defined flaky in the past, so I wanted to make sure it was cool with everyone. If I get the green light, if you want to catch me up on what your ( Read more... ) -

So I'm back from DC. Finally. Apparently some computer smuggling operation was actually being operated by terrorist cells. Usually we immediately loose jurisdiction on a case like that (ah my initial naive hopes), but instead the Feds turned around and enlisted us. I guess the chain of evidence was back too far into the NYPD to be completely ( Read more... ) -
The Joys of Family
So Natalie, my typical teenage "too cool for anything" niece, is still in the City. She's decided she's never stepping foot in Arizona again and is going to live here. She turned 18 at the beginning of December (and went and pierced her eyebrow to celebrate) so there's not much me, my brother or my sister-in-law can do about it. Well, I take that ( Read more... ) -
Thanksgiving- Novak family style
So here I was expecting to spend a nice relaxing Thanksgiving alone.
No cooking, no family, nice and calm. A great way to unwind after the DA's office decided to test if I had super human powers and first chair two cases concurrently.y guess is they were feeling the budget cut from the higher downs and decided they no longer needed 20 worthless ( Read more... ) -
Epic Fail
You know your life is on the... out of control side, when you forget your own damned birthday.
Maybe it was for the best. -
Insanity ensues...
Today I got a call from McCoy to inform me I was being assigned to a homicide case. Seeing as I'm the Major Case ADA and NOT the Homicide ADA I was confused. I figured I'd at least be working with Connie... not against her as opposing counsel.
How can switching an ADA to an appointed defense attorney AFTER said ADA has been involved with building ( Read more... ) -

Just because I burnt dinner didn't mean the night had to commence into a giant argument. I'm not distant, I don't have a problem with drinking or cleaning or keeping my temper anything else and the chicken tasted fine. So much for thinking things would be smooth sailing after the trial. Now on top of all this the public defenders are on strike ( Read more... ) -
Kodachrome
Thank god the trial is finally over. It was a lot more emotionally taxing than normal... for whatever reason or another. :shrugs:
Now it's time to relax, relatively speaking. This is assuming Cole still recognizes me.
I can't keep doing this. Every time a defendant claims mental illness in their defense, I go soft. There's this part of me that wants ( Read more... ) -

It's August? Oh.... I guess I lost my calender or something. I kid, I kid, I'm not -that- disorganized... :looks down at desk: Okay, maybe I am ( Read more... ) -

I've been on hold with the Bureau of Consular Affairs for almost an hour. Or maybe I'm still on the phone with the Department of State or the New York passport agency. Who knows. I never knew expediting a passport renewal would be so tedious. It's not my fault the last time I left the country was the summer after I graduated high school.
