Jury Duty
I'm on a jury until the end of next week. Can't discuss the case until it's over. This is the second time I've been selected; the first time was a scant year-and-a-half ago, so everything -- lining up to get inside the Hall of Justice to the so-so cafeteria food -- seems really familiar.

The other case I was a part of was neither a civil or criminal trial. We had to decide whether or not a convicted pedophile was ready to finish treatment for his mental illness outside of the state-run facility at Atascadero. We decided that he wasn't ready, especially after the star witness on his behalf, a doctor at the hospital, testified that although he was a model resident, he wasn't ready. That was really easy.

I also just got back from a terrific weekend in LA with a bunch of friends: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=26812&l=84577&id=523356936

Shopping + Eating + Hanging out with good friends + Rock Banding = Awesomeness!!! This is my new motto.

I'm kind of jealous. Jury duty is kind of awesome, although I definitely can see how it could suck. I'd be interested to get your take afterward.
