Well, the powers that be have summoned me to appear for jury service at 1945 S. Hill Street in the West Adams district of Los Angeles tomorrow morning at 8:30. I just realized last night that my summons is for traffic court. Traffic court?!? I assume that means that if I am placed on a jury it will be for something boring like somebody driving more than 100 mph or a DUI or something. Nine years ago I served on a jury for a DUI. At the time I thought it was pretty cool, but I think I'll do the best I can to try to get out of serving tomorrow.

There are a couple things that I need to do once I manage to find a job. First, I need to purchase a new computer as my four year old PC with Celeron processor is on its last legs and barely even has the strength to boot up anymore. The other thing that I'd like to do is move back to Pasadena, as Montrose has lost all the magic. Ideally, I think I'd like to live by myself again, but that means I'll have to do quite a bit of furniture and electronics purchasing. I own two couches, but one of them is a complete piece of crap that should be burned in the village square. But, when it comes to living with somebody versus living by myself, I'd have to say that I prefer the latter.

So next Thursday is Halloween. I'm not entirely certain what I'll be doing yet. Last year I went with some friends from the Shoah Foundation to bear witness to the hedonism that can only be found at the annual carnival in the city of West Hollywood. It was quite the spectacle, to be sure...one that I'm not certain I ever need or want to see again. I have received a couple different invites for this year and have pretty much decided on a course of action, but I'll not divulge that at this time. I like to remain dark and mysterious whenever possible. Of course, if this cough doesn't go away soon it's entirely possible that I'll be spending this Halloween hooked up to an iron lung somewhere struggling for my last breath at the exact same minute that my health insurance runs out.

I'd have to say that today is the first day that I think I made any real progress in the job search area. I finally got around to getting my resume updated to include my last job. I'm going to e-mail it to my dad so he can critique it.

So, that's all from my end today. Tomorrow begins my exciting participation in the turning of the wheels of justice. I must remember...innocent until PROVEN guilty.
