Haha... Duty.
I haven't updated in awhile. It's really tough to get the energy to write when I write for a living... and I've been working 9 and 10 hour days.
This is what I wrote at jury service:
"So as I sit here in the Jury Assembly Room realizing that I took the wrong CD from my room so I can't work on the movie about PR gone bad... I have a really bad headache. I need to eat more... but lately... that's all that I've been doing. I can't sleep because I am hungry and I seem to be waking up in the middle of the day because I am hungry. It's getting really annoying.
"2 Weeks Notice" is playing. I forgot how much I loathe Sandra Bullock. Even though she has brown eyes and hair... can't stand her. I just wanna punch her in the face. THe premise is really lame.
We watched this really gay orientation video for jury duty (haha.... duty) and they interviewed all these people that were so psyched about serving on a jury. Yeah... I like to pretend too. They were totally paid to say that or something because no one wants to go to jury duty.
Hopefully I won't spend the who day here... but I'm not holding my breath.
Surprisingly I finally have a computer and time to write down all my thoughts yet I have nothing to say.
I'm hoping this weekend has a better ending than last weekend. Ugh. Too many emotions for me. But I guess I'm an emotional guy... no matter how hard I try to bottle them up.
Now it's lunch time!"
I had a jury duty (ahaha.... duty) last Wednesday... and it wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't been called into selection at 1:30 pm. Totally put a damper on my afternoon. So I'm in the court room... and the judge is asking all these lame questions about whether past run-ins with the law would stop us from being impartial on a jury. He then asks if we could be impartial if a cop testified and a regular person testified.... meaning their testimony should be equal. I raise my card and said I would be a cop way more than just a regular joe. He gets irritated... and says if a cop told me if was snowing outside would I believe him. I respond with "well, it has been cold the last couple days... and it hailed yesterday so I could see it probable." This ticked off the judge and so he started lecturing me about believing everything I here and whatnot. Let's just say.... I wasn't picked to serve on the jury. But the judge wouldn't let us go until 4:45 pm... which was totally gay.
I finally got my new iPod Nano to work and my new operating system to work as well. The Nano is pretty cool but it doesn't have as much space as I was hoping.
Effing Tony Romo and Tom Brady have been fantasy football studs for me the whole season. I was number one in my leagues and looking at an easy second round game.... until both players decided to suck!! Stupid Romo gave me like 3 points... and I lost the semi-final game. Brady only had 6 points... couldn't find the endzone against the Jets!!!! Very disappointing... as now in both leagues I am battling for third. Last year I stunk it up in my fantasy football and this year I was hoping to return to glory. Apparently not. Damn those two players. I hope Jessica Simpson goes to another Dallas game so they lose.
Almost done with my Christmas shopping.... aside from my mom. Everything else is bought.
I missed the KsE and Lamb of God concert because I had to work. Totally sucks. I need to go to more concerts... but it's tough to go alone because no one I know likes the same music as I do. But still.... I have to see more bands in 2008.
