picked!

So blame my excitedness about a day with nothing to do but read. Or maybe blame the law of averages since this was the 3rd time summoned for jury duty but the first time i was called, i was excused from the particular trial for good reason and the second time i wasn't called until 10, i think they chose two juror panels that day, was called for neither and then dismissed at 2:45.
so today, i get there at 8, have two lovely hours with the paper where i did both crossword puzzles and the sudoku, they started a movie and i loudly groaned when i saw sandra bullock's name appear because i told my coworkers "i bet they'll play some shitty movie like "the lake house" in the juror lounge. but no, i was just off 10 years as far as shitty s.b. movies go.
oh, also, when i arrived, they had some channel on which was showing "Connections" which i love love love. So i thought, swell! i'll settle in.
so around 10:30, they call 60 people and i groan again because there aren't more than 75-maybe 90? absolute max 90 and there are 2 cute guys. one phlegmy guy. all four of us were called. in the hallway, i'm called 13th. so they fill the box, then i sit in the audience section. judge asks questions, we answer on cards. i'm called back.
i'm now juror #1.
i'm not allowed to talk about the trial any more than saying it's a criminal trial. and it's not necessarily atypical. but it is a little depressing which made me cry in my car on the way home which has maybe put me off of seeing citygoats tonight, but it's patrick and joe. both guys who are very nice and do great things for this city, or me, when i start a bar tab (seriously- god bless patrick) plus, DCist gave them a stupid review from their last show. the person who wrote it was a hair shy of retarded and thought they were from california...
so, yeah. i'll go and support the boys and have some rock and roll therapy.
and then go back to jury duty tomorrow which is only from, like, 11-2 due to stuff on the judge's end.
i skipped the cornelle show. maybe i'll go tomorrow or wait 'til the trial is over and use that as something to look forward to.
