today, in brief

things that made today suck a little less:

• getting a free Baby Ruth at the exact moment of maximum sweet-toothiness
• dinner with the rentals at Joe T. Garcia's in the breezy 75 degree weather
• knowing that meeting the McConaugheys will be a very real and bizarre possibility upon my relocation to Austin

summons

I swear, of everyone eligible to be called for jury duty, I must be hounded the most. During my college years I was called to serve no less than three times - exempt, exempt, exempt. I finally attempted to serve last October, but after being placed in a pool was ultimately denied and sent home.

I received my latest summons yesterday, to appear the day that I am scheduled to fly into Boston for the bro's graduation.

The sad part is this: with everyone in this country aching to get out of jury duty, I appear to be the only one who actually WANTS to sit on a jury of my peers, having yearned for the opportunity ever since forensic science class senior year!

So I rescheduled my summons to July - 2 days after I return from my European extravaganza. If I am somehow unable to return in one piece, I will also be breaking the law - hmm....
