Free wi-fi. I'm at the main Santa Ana courthouse so there's some cute Latina chongas. Also some middle-aged Chinese honeys. Mmm, married jurors.
I hope I don't get picked because it's a shitty week at work to not be at work. But it's not like there's ever a good time to suffer through Jury Duty.
They just turned Regis and Regis's Dumb Friend on the TVs. This is making it really hard to read. I hate America.
Why it got to be Canada, homes?
I'm playing Scrabulous at Facebook and Legend of the Green Dragon BBS door game. But it's not enough.
sniff. understood. this is my first time suffering through jury duty. it's only 940 AM and I've already been up for almost 4 hours. man was not meant to endure such sorrows.
how is that ironic? I openly admit that I'm a biased individual. all people are. that's why we should trust in the impartial judgment of robot scientists and not fallable meatbags.
also I notice you use a laughing black man to represent irony. racist.
can anyone suggest fun free webgames I can play with a touchscreen.
I have a keyboard. I meant like, uh, touchpad. so no games that require actual mousing.how is that ironic? I openly admit that I'm a biased individual. all people are. that's why we should trust in the impartial judgment of robot scientists and not fallable meatbags.

ergh no keyboard?
Websudoku is the timewaster of choice when trapped in a situation like yours.
Just be like...
"Your honor, I am afraid I cannot be impartial considering the defendant is a BLACK MAN."
If the defendant is not black, say that you hate [enter ethnicity here]. If he's white, say you're half-black and resent white people for enslaving your ancestors.
You should be hitting on potential jurors!
FoC just wants to place a guilty, evil black man behind bars.
We had to watch this video about how we as a society would not trust an individual to make these decisions so we turn to our society of peers. BULLSHIT. I'm totally fine with respecting hard-earned authority! I trust it more than random DMV record selects.
FoC: "Your honor, we the jury find the defendant guilty and sentence him to be hung by a mob at noon!"
Judge: "You can't sentence anyone - that's my job!"
FoC: "But I already bought the rope and Carl got his pickup truck started for the preliminary road dragging. :("
Judge: "... I don't know about this."
FoC: "I also brought neopolitan ice cream! Enough for everyone!"
Judge: "Case closed!"
oh, a tip from a coworker: act educated. they'll cull you from the jury selection if you act like you WANT to be educated and impartial -- neither the prosecution nor the defense want someone that's difficult to manipulate or has educated ideals, because it means a potential hung jury and everyone misses lunch. if they interview you, act like you're proud to be part of the process, and emphasize and philosophical or legal readings you've done, as well as your degree. name drop hume or heidegger, and talk about "natural law" like it means something. they'll quickly can you in favor of the slackjawed ape with a film degree ogling kelly ripa's tits.

Don't you get some money for your trouble? What's the harm in getting a few bucks out of putting a guilty, evil black man behind bars?
Don't try and get out of it. They tend to see this as a negative and will keep you there for as long as possible.

you mean "don't be OBVIOUS when trying to get out of it." I should think a perky, enthusiastic spin on the academic persona would be fairly effective!

People like Patel make much more money per day than what they would give you for jury duty. For you, it probably makes no difference.
money is like microsoft points...for life
there's a girl here playing WoW
I woulda hit on her except she's white
for some reason the Silversun Pickups are the official 20th anniversary theme song of Regis' dumb show.
I should troll for chicks on the net as a way of killing time. what are the best net sites to find chicks. (not adultfriendfinder)

Bears make rugs.

I dunno the proper Craigslist etiquette. prolly the latter.
Maybe it's a high profile case since it is in the OC and you can make some big bucks selling your story.

don't call it that
I should mention I spent the past 5 years in Japan. that should somehow disqualify me.
no, because i'm such a japafag I can no longer uphold the ideals of our american justice system and I will keep trying to subvert it to the Japanese stylee
back, on 30 minute breakDon't believe a word the prosecutor says. Prosecutors are evil people, who only want to lock innocent people up and have perfect records!
found out the (2) counts. defense attorney has talked to the jury. prosecutor next. hopefully out of here by lunch.
I'm actually thinking it would be better to have been assigned up front; easier to be kicked off than dragged in as a replacement at which point they're just going to want to keep you so they don't have to do the rigmarole again.
