12 Angry Men
I can’t believe I didn’t mention this, but in the hectic week leading up to the Lamz showcase, I got a terrible piece of news in the mail.
Jury duty.
I looked for every possible way to get out of it… like sending in the form with a notation saying I hate white people. but I eventually found that I could submit a letter if jury duty would cause undue hardship.
thinking quickly, I dashed off a note to them about how I’m a daytrader and cry cry cry how it’s a busy time for me…
and to my surprise, it worked!
I got a letter in the mail last week informing me I was excused this time around. Now what that means I have no idea. Could be another 3 years, or I could just be pushed to the next batch of poor bastards forced to sit in a little room together.
(and if you don’t get the blog title reference, rent that shit… only decent black & white movie I’ve ever seen)

I’ll end this very brief and highly uninformative update with my mom winning the internets:
Subject: Big Bird
The big bird I was telling you about may be an eagle. I have heard it for several days and finally got Dad to see it at a distance this morning and he thinks it might be a bald eagle. I have recorded its squawking and looked for sites with their sounds. At first none of the sounds matched, but then I went to what they called an eagle squawk and that matched. It has been sitting in one of the trees out back and corresponds with another one. I told Dad this morning that you would not be happy if you had to listen to that squawk every morning.
Mom
so yeah, my mom is convinced that she has bald eagles living in her backyard.
I wrote back that I used the internets to look for a nice home to put my rents in. she was not amused.
