1. Sometimes life goes from bad to worse. I had jury duty today and was selected to serve on a jury that is set to last about THREE WEEKS. And it's right in the middle of opening night at work. My boss is going to be pissed. And in light of some of the problems I've bitched to some of you about you can see that this is one of the worst things that could happen at this point.

2. Despite the fact that I'm pissy about jury duty I also have a major problem in life with people who think they are better than everyone else and that their time is more important than anyone else's. Like when I am driving I hate the people who speed and cut you off and don't care if you have to stop as long as they don't have to. I kind of felt the same way in the jury room. I could have lied or said the right things to get out of it, but everyone in this country does have the right to a fair trial. And if they think I am the best person to help decide on someone's fate, so be it.

3. I guess that is all I can say for now. I'll report back in three weeks...

4. I saw this ad on the el. It's scary:

5. Why I am voting for Obama. It's even more pertinent of an issue than Hillary's stand on American Idol.

6. Sunday night I met up with Joelina for dinner. Got me some yummy crab cake sliders at Fox and Hound and we all shared a cookie. JoeJoe sat by me because he likes me more than he likes Alina. OK, so maybe it was because he likes the White Sox more than he likes Alina. Details. After dinner Alina and I played guitar hero. I don't think I will ever be able to play it on medium. Damn blue key. Joe interrupted us by putting on the end of the Cubs game. Apparently a no hitter is a big deal?

7. Scotty was in town so Monday was Froggy night. Alina ordered drinks for herself. There was a really sloppy football game on TV. Every time I looked up someone was dropping the ball. I beat up MK because he was losing all my money. Scott was tall.
