jury duty

Going to jury duty was a bit of a bust. We waited around for a couple of hours as the judge conducted some hearings in another courtroom, only to have him explain that most of them plead guilty, and a couple went into weird places that even he couldn't adequately explain in casual language, so our services were no longer required.

The only upside to it is that i got to spy on my fellow potential jurors, and had some quiet time to read The Book of Fantasy, compiled by Borges, Ocampo, and Bioy Casares, which is turning out to be most fun read that i've had in awhile, and i've been on a good streak in recent weeks.
