Posting from Jury Duty

I am on jury duty. This does not mean i am here waiting to see if i'll get picked, or hoping that i wont be. That was last week. On wednesday of last week i was not only picked to be a JUROR! but i was picked to be a juror on what is probably going to be a 14 day case. that's 14 court days. or almost 3 weeks!

Good things about jury duty are:

1. our judge is a lady and a saucy lady at that. she often times has been caught rolling her eyes or mouthing "come on!" when people are on the stand. My jury friends swear they've caught her surfing on myspace during testimony.

2. i have made friends with at least 3 of my co-panelists. (here they are) until the trial is over i will refer to them as jurors #1, #6 and #7 - so's that the parties involved do not try to contact them through my blog to sweet talk them or try to buy their vote.


3. downtown la is pretty rad. i park at the disney music hall and strut around this courthouse like i know where i'm going.

4. right now i'm in the jury holding-room, which is where all the people who are waiting to see if they'll get picked are hanging out. they have wireless internet in here and also they have people snoring, yammering on cel phones, and making excuses for why they can't serve.

i am due upstairs to my courtroom in a few minues. i'm juror #4. Here's a sweet pic of my badge.
