Okay, so I’ve been a bit negligent of this blog lately. This is due, in part, to my recently being drafted into service by the US court system. Yes, it’s that dreaded, slavering sarlaac* from which non can escape…JURY DUTY!

Grand Jury Duty to be exact, which basically involves seeing a whole bunch of cases presented by prosecutors, and voting on whether to indict the suspect or not. This has advantages, in that there’s a bit of variety. The disadvantage is that I’m required to serve for a term of 2 weeks straight, from 9-5 every day! Fun. I have several little complaints to put forward about this system, and…maybe a story or two to share (minus the case details, of course), but I’m just not up to it now. Something about sitting in a courtroom for 8 hours really sucks the life out of me. I can’t seem to concentrate hard enough to actually write anything lucid, as this entry attests.

Just wanted to check in and update readers that were interested in where I had been for the last few days. I’ll try to sit down and write in a bit more detail this weekend.
