So I am at jury duty this morning and I have to say that so far it hasn’t been quite as bad as I remember. We got quite the hoorah speech from the judge this morning. He at least added some interesting anecdotes as he went through the jury information packet. The one thing I do enjoy about this whole thing is the people watching. This morning I had two guys sitting next to me who raised their hands for the grand jury applications that were under the age of 30. Now I am thinking to myself, how on earth would an under 30 something have the means to serve on a jury for a year making $25 a day? Also, what kind of crapped out 20 something existence must you have to consider this option? I am thinking they didn’t know to bring reading materials and are grasping at straws.

Went to restroom. The chick in here was so frighteningly manly, that I did a double-take and looked for urinals.

I have obtained coffee and was called to department 69. Made me giggle. They are taking roll for the whole class! People look like the after pictures for coma patients. This includes me.

Starting to question my food judgement of really hot Mongolian grill for lunch. Things could get ugly in the backup panel this afternoon. I am awaiting confirmation of my nomination for the Edward R. Murrow award for journalism as a result of this riveting update.

It’s looking like I am going to be on the jury. From this point on I won’t be able to talk about the proceedings until after the case is over. Suffice to say though, so far I am pretty interested to see this human drama play out.

Today as I was perusing the Android market, I found this mobile blogging application called WPTogo. I often find myself thinking about posting something up only to forget about it later. So now I can post random thoughts when I’m in line at the grocery or bored to death at the doctor’s office. I’m positive those observations just won’t wait. So just as a test I’ve attached a Christmas photo from Gallagher’s. Happy Holidays everyone!

What a great title this is!!!  What a definition of our lives.  I say this because my week is absurd right now.  It started last week when Jason came cruising into the apartment in the middle of the day.  I was sure that either someone had died or he had been laid off.  It’s been 5 years since he has darkened our door home sick from work.  He doesn’t get sick.  I get sick.  I come close to anyone in the county and I get sick.  I’m still sick.  He is fine now but I am still sick…  The good news is that I have new windows.  Because the only thing that can make illness more interesting is having to turn your apartment upside down and let strangers parade through the room to stare at you in your pajamas.
