(no subject)
So I went to do Jury Duty yesterday oh my gaaaaaa it was boring. I spent like nine hours hanging out in this big waiting room pigging out on vending machine snacks and playing games on my cell phone. I should've brought a book, my laptop and/or my DS, but I wasn't thinking. I downloaded an 8-bit version of The Oregon Trail on my cell and played that for a while. It was cute. I named my party after MST3K characters, and Tom Servo got dysentery, was bitten by a snake, AND attacked by a bear in like the first three minutes. XD
Things got a little more interesting when suddenly the fire alarm went off. They had to evacuate the ENTIRE building, ALL the jurors, ALL the staff - did you know the LA Courthouse is the largest courthouse in the United States? XD We were on the 11th floor and we couldn't use the elevators, so we had to go down 11 flights of stairs. At least we didn't have to go UP them.
Quick picture I snapped with my cell as we went down the stairs.
I never did find out if there was an actual fire or not. >_>
I also killed time by reading LA Weekly, which had an article that was like, "The hands that once picked cotton are now the hands that picked the President of the United States." *facepalm* Really? That doesn't seem a tad racially insensitive to anyone else? Besides, African-Americans make up maybe 13% of the American population, so I'm pretty sure Obama got help from Whitey, not to mention all the other races that make up our country. I guess it's supposed to be poetic, but it just bugs me.
But LA Weekly is forgiven 'cause they have the most hilarious ads ever:
This is supposed to be urging you to get yourself checked for STDs, but I can't help but think the photo was originally meant for something completely different...like, maybe for a fetish website called HotBlackMenAndExoticFish.com. I'm sure it exists, this being the internet. Must...resist...urge to...Google...
Below "PROTECT YOURSELF" it says "GET MARIJUANA WITH THIS CARD." Well, I'm sold.
Maybe I should just get a camera. :B
