I have Jury Duty today. What does this mean exactly? Well, for starters it means that I can't go to work. It also means that I can't talk about it. First rule of Fight Club: Don't talk about Fight Club. Sigh. Fine, I won't talk about it.

However, I will say that I'm hoping to get some reading done today. I've been called for Jury Duty before and when I went, it took them all day to bring me into a little room and ask me their questions. ALL DAY. You better believe I'm bringing a book! Which one though? I just finished a book called Me and Orson Wells (see future post). And now it's time to pick a new one from the shelf. I'm thinking The Time Traveler's Wife might be pretty cool. I just picked that one up the other day. OK, it's settled. That's the book I'm bringing to court. Yay! Oh, I've also been reading a book that my friend out in California is writing. We exchange pages every once in awhile and comment on each other's work. Of course... I've had his Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 for about a month now and haven't gotten a chance to read 'em yet. BAD WRITING BUDDY! BAD FRIEND! Sorry Owen. Will try today. :)

So anyway, have a good day. Try to bring justice to the world by reading... Ha!

I appreciate that Mr. Cahill will be reading my chapters... a captive audience is the best kind :)

I think I'm one of the few people I know who doesn't mind Jury duty. As an avid reader, I'd much rather sit and read a good book all day than sit and do work!!!

I do find it kind of painful to watch the many people at the court-house who just sit there staring at the wall for hours on end... don't they know that there are millions of books they could be reading?

They actually had a big screen TV set up at the front of the assembly room and at one point, people were watching The Price Is Right. It was quite distracting. I was I was joking.
