Summons for grand jury duty

I normally go to bed at 3 am and get up at 10a. I will, very literally, have to be up by 5:30am to get to DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (fuck!!) in time to park.

Assuming I manage to stay awake during jury selection, how many people do you think I'm liable to find innocent on 2.5 hrs of sleep - especially when I know I'll be facing a 2hr commute home (30 miles)??

have NO idea how long I have to serve (a day? [I think that's only Orange County Superior Court] a week? a month? the rest of my fucking life [I'm sure it will feel like it!]).

Assuming it's a week or more, this encompasses the date of my SF trip and NON-REFUNDABLE airline tix and 2 NON-REFUNDABLE tix to Cirque.

Yes, yes... civic duty... proud to be an American... I'd want my peers to show up if I was being accused of something... blahblahblah.

It still doesn't change the fact that my first 100 responses to opening this are: FUCK!!

So why did I just found out about this today... when Rush tix are the only option (line forms 1 hr before showtime, tix sold 5 min before showtime - no guarantee of availability) at a time I can go?!??! WTF world?!? Why are you doing this to me!?!?

(*yes, I know it doesn't say that Gael's going to be there. but I believe he is. I'm having a "juju".)

Pep Boys fault. 101 was a DISASTER. I finally took the 10 and surface streets - but the 36 mile drive still took me 1.5 hrs (20 min to get home).

Now I'm glad I didn't take the bus from the OC Studio - they left 1/2 hr earlier than me but arrived 20 min later.

Anything with "AssWriting"

Ugh Boots worn anytime it is not cold. Most especially pink Ugh boots. Extra most especially pink Ugh boots worn in SoCal, with shorts, on a warm day.

Pants worn below hip line. Arrested on the spot for pants worn below the butt cheeks.

I already purchased my (front row) seat to the OC Q/A night. Will also get a ticket for LA - but something further back (the view is actually better from around the mid-point) and on a weekend.

YEEAAAAA!! (me = Cirque FANATIC)

All you have to do to participate is purchase tickets for one of these two evenings and stay in your seats after the show. The magic of Corteo is more than our Grand Chapiteau can contain and in the days and weeks leading up to our premiere, that magic and several very special events surrounding our twentieth anniversary in the City of Angels will literally spill out into the city.

I just posted 2 tix to She Wants Revenge, at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, this Sun (Oct 22) starting at $2.50. I paid $90 plus but totally spazzed on the fact that I had 2 sets of tix and was supposed to list the 2nd set for sale. Now the concert is just a few days away and someone is going to get a great deal on seats.

I'd rather it be a Voxer than a stranger. Scientist/Wasp or CupCate - if either of you will be in town for the show, I'd be willing to give the tix to you - as in for FREE. Email me ASAP and I'll have a friend do "buy it now" on the tix so the auction closes - then I'll drop them in express mail to you!!  [Update 10/17, 3pm - the Wasp can't go. I know CupCate is travelling and may not get this before my action closes. Is anyone else interested?]

In unrelated news: Has anyone else noticed how freakin' addictive this site is? Yesterday I was reading & commenting & typing away and suddenly realized I could hear my neighbor leaving for work. It was 5am and I still hadn't gone to bed. Damn you people and your interesting stories. Damn you all to my neighborhood!
