The class sign up session this morning was a fiasco. The entire 3rd floor of my residence hall was in an uproar.

Wasn't sure where else to put this but I had to post it:

I just sat through several hours of voir dire and will be sitting on a criminal jury tomorrow.

I really enjoyed the one time I was called to do jury duty. Every employee treated us with the utmost respect and, by extension, encouraged us to respect the importance of our duty. I was eliminated from the jury pool in the first round (I knew I would be. I saw the hole in the prosecution's case right off the bat and it came out when they questioned the candidates), but it was an amazing experience nonetheless.
And, if all the intelligent folk out there did their best not to serve on juries, than juries would be even more foolish, gullible, and ill-informed then we already fear they are.

I spent god knows how many hours sitting in courtrooms when I was covering trials. I'm damned if I'll ever do so again.

They probably got too cocky after not getting caught the first night and screwed up the second night during pre-gaming.

9 year old vacationing with her family shoots an instructer at a gun range with an uzi. It's all on tape thanks to the modern practice of recording everything.

Reached for comment, Wayne LaPierre says, "You say this as if it's a bad thing." Turns out the recoil is what sealed his fate. Just dumb to give someone under 15 or 16 a firearm in this shooting range.

Talked with a good friend earlier. He is worried about finishing work tomorrow as it is last day in his present job. In so many ways, he is lucky because money wont be an issue, he can live more than comfortably. He has a nice apartment too. But he sounds flat in mood. Maybe he will miss the commute to and from work, of being surrounded in an office with other people?
