  • 10:38 Jurors and I arrived at the courthouse promptly at 10:15, as directed, only to find that there’s another case going on in our room. Bzuh? #
  • 10:48 So glad I brought my laptop. Connection not strong enough to catch up on Kings on hulu, but I have pilot of #1 Ladies Detective Agency. #
  • 15:50 We went in at 10:50, and we were out by 3pm! I am free! The defendant, alas, is not. #

  • 00:25 I finally got around to posting photos from my trip to the Bronx Zoo! Check ’em out! priscellie.livejournal.com/67470.html #
  • 09:49 In the waiting room, rather bored. Entertaining myself by trying to pronounce "Rural Juror" in my head. #
  • 10:00 Oh, lovely. The trial has been delayed an hour, until 10:30. Guess I didn’t need to chase the M9 bus two blocks after all. #
  • 10:41 Guy outside the courtroom having angry phone call about how he is being extorted and his life has been threatened over course of case. #
  • 10:41 To think they spent yesterday convincing us jury duty *wasn’t* like TV drama. #
  • 10:48 Dude, how do you not show up for your own trial? I know "innocent until proven guilty," but you have to know you’re not helping your case. #
  • 11:17 At 11:15, we’re finally going in! #
  • 17:18 Mwahahahaha!!! 5pm and I’m gone! And they don’t need me at work, so the evening is mine, all mine. Groceries and laundry time! #
  • 20:38 RT @Islandwoo NYC’s First Blacklight Glowing LightSaber Battle @ Washington Square Park – bit.ly/lightsaber – Saturday 4/25 #
  • 21:05 Marsters’ Ebenezar reminds me of True Blood’s Bill when he says the word "vampire." I’m picturing Eb glowering and saying "Suckeh is mahn." #
  • 21:25 …some dude on the Rachel Maddow show just used the term "whomper-jawed." I think I’m in love. #
  • 23:03 GG suggested I was not a sneakyhor, and Kat is defending my sneaky honor! I have the best internet friends ever. #
  • 23:51 "I ship Murphy/Chuck Norris and Harry/Your Mom." #

  • 00:30 I sleep now, but in the morning, there will be jury duty. Mrgle. #
  • 08:46 In Juror’s Lounge, watching video on History of Jury Duty. Opens with Folks On The Street talking about how much it sucks. I am so amused. #
  • 08:49 Now Diane Sawyer is talking about how uncool jury duty is compared with what you see on TV. At least it’s educational! #
  • 08:57 Surly looking juror in video looks like Helen Thomas. (Why yes, I am livetwittering this. I wonder how many people will unfollow me today?) #
  • 09:32 Jury Duty is more important than voting! Your opportunity to seize the power! #
  • 09:43 "This area of New York is a discount shopper’s Mecca. That’s an extra few minutes of your lunch hour you’re going to have to allow for." #
  • 09:49 "In New York City, we have about three crimes a year, so we keep you for two days." #
  • 09:56 "Top engineers have worked around the clock to ensure the vindictiveness is taken out of juror selection. *holds up bingo ball hopper*" #
  • 10:13 Man, how wild is it going to be to work a 9-5 day? It’ll be just like being a normal person! #
  • 10:41 "Pfft! What’s the use of science if it can’t make Obama-shaped laser-cut pizzas?" #
  • 11:00 …wtf? Why is blogger.com rerouting to a facts page about the NY court system? This isn’t happening to anything else. #
  • 11:09 @boymonster That’s my guess. Must be some kind of limitation on what one can access on the Court system wireless. #
  • 11:10 First juror call! *crouches down in chair* #
  • 11:16 Spared! Despite @boymonster’s fiendish attempts at sabotage. #
  • 11:47 Argh! Last person called for an 80-juror criminal trial. I’m going to be here forever. #
  • 13:29 Lovely. First to the box. I’m going to be here a week. Thank goodness for lunch break! I could feel myself getting dumber in that room. #
  • 13:38 Universe, I forgive you. Compensating for the lameness in my life, Jim just sent me an awesome secret thing, filling my world with squee! #
  • 15:31 I’m done with Court for the day! Oh wait… I’m going back to the office, even though I am not legally required to do so? I am the bes … #
  • 15:54 Just got slammed with the exhaustion bat. Don’t know if I’m going to stay past 7. #
  • 17:12 It’s Puppy O’Clock! Time to take a break from work and play with Coworker Erica’s toy maltese. Someone’s gotta do it! #
  • 19:32 And at 7:30, I am so gone! #
  • 21:16 Roommate is making brussels sprouts. Urgh, that reeks. #
  • 21:26 @Uilos But… isn’t she dead? #
  • 23:02 @Uilos Count me in! #
  • 23:14 @KChenoweth Welcome to Twitter, from the girl who gave you the address of the awesome Southern/Creole restaurant at your NY signing! :D #

  • 10:48 Subject of an actual work email this morning: "Dinosaurs to buy." I wish it were real! #
  • 17:28 Pushing Daisies is coming so sooooooooooooooooooon! T-minus an hour and a half and counting! #
  • 19:04 ABC, stop crashing NOW. Give me my Daisies! #
  • 19:28 @neilhimself Are you using Word? Their "Compare Documents" feature is invaluable in those situations. #
  • 20:57 Oh, Pushing Daisies! Best TV show ever. Why were you canceled? Can’t wait for them to air the next as-yet-unaired ep! #
  • 23:36 Hours worked this week: 82. I AM MIGHTY! *poses dramatically* #
  • 23:49 @Jamie1km Yes! I’ve also been known to walk and chew gum at the same time. #
  • 00:08 Happy Birthday, @Esperacchius! *smooch* #

  • 12:23 The word of the day is "smorgasbord"! My back room coworkers and I pooled our meal allowance and ordered a banquet of Greek food for lunch! #
  • 12:53 @boymonster YES WE CAM! #
  • 18:56 I just realized the acronym of "Polka Will Never Die" is PWND. All is right with the universe. #
