Adventures in lawyerin' #1:Got my first chance to represent a client at mediation yesterday. Fun times. The first three hours were basically spent ensuring that she didn't wander off before her name was called.

I see. But the fact that "fun times" is a sentence that is clearly lacking a predicate does not trouble you in the least?

#1: at least it was in the trash can! Sounds like a fun time.

#2: law review, oooooo! I'm impressed! At least, I know it supposed to be impressive from the movies and stuff... seriously, congrats!

I knew it was Zevon, and yet there was something in the back of my head telling me that Kiss did a cover of this song too. Is that true?

sandmistress July 23 2007, 15:04:31 UTC

I think Meatloaf did (or so the internet tells me), but I'm not sure about Kiss.

So covering Warren Zevon would definitely count as one of the anythings that Meatloaf would do for love?
