24

Well, I just got somewhat caught up on 24. Fun show... very fast pace, the type where you feel like you're about to have a heart attack every minute of the entire hour. Currently, as far as I can tell, good ol' Kiefer (Jack Bouer) over there in the picture is trying to prove the current president assassinated the previous president as well as some other bad stuff. Jack hijacked a plane in order to find some evidence, a tape recording of a convo the pres. had with some terrorist dude, and after landing the plane got it to CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit). Some guy named Miles wanted to go ruin every thing so he contacted the president and apparantly tried to erase the tape. That's where we left off, and the next episode is about to come on in like a minute (9:20 EST).

As for my life right now, today I went in for jury duty! Woot! I didn't get selected for today's jury, but tomorrow I go in again and may be selcted for a different trial. It was kinda boring, but it was ok. I can't tell yall about the trial itself, but this is how the system is set up. You go in, you, and about 150-200 other people who were called in, and you wait and wait and wait and finally after they make sure everyone's paperwork is right, they take everyone into the courtroom. In the courtroom they ask you a bunch of questions making sure everyone is qualified. If they ask a question that applies to you, you either stand up as they ask it, or if you're embarrassed about it you wait till the end and talk to the judge privately. After the disqualified people leave, the judge then spends about 3 hours asking questions, again to which you stand up to, but these are questions like "do you know the defendants?" "Do you know the lawyers" etc, then asking about obscure relations to various parts and people of the trial, and everyone who does have a relation stands up, then the judge goes one by one to everyone who has stood up and asks for their name, juror number, and if that relation will affect their judgement. Sounds like fun, no? Today wasn't as bad as it could have been, though. I met a girl in the parking garage, and we were both like, "are you going to jury duty? Do you have any idea where the court building is?" We walked around for a bit, then found it, and we hung out during the day. We kept each other company and ate lunch together and all that fun stuff. We'll probably see each other again tomorrow, so it'll be nice to have somebody to keep me awake again, yay.

Well, 24 is capturing my attention again, so I'm outta here!
