truly weird slash

Political, biblical, philosophical pairings - all of which involve real people (dead and living), which is tasteless - usually. Personally I find just the idea of "Bush, Blair, Chirac and Saddam are new girls at a girls' boarding school" to be rife with possibility :P No less tasteless, but couldn't be written about more deserving guys...

jury duty?

I just got paperwork in the mail indicating that my name has been pulled for district court jury duty. And yes, regular jury duty is an inconvenience at best, but district ups the ante: I have to go to the courthouse every Monday morning. For 3 months.

I have no intention of shirking my civic duty, and I doubt I would have a valid excuse to get out of it anyway. But DAMN, this is going to crimp my style, if only because they're asking me to be across town, at 8:30 in the morning, during winter!

This doesn't start until October, so I'm off the hook until then. Has anyone else ever been called for district jury duty? As of now I forsee myself checking out many library books and steadily increasing my morning coffee dosage :P

In other news: refreshed the catnip in the catnip toys. I suspect this will make me very popular once their eyes return to normal size. Also discovered that brownie mix + chocolate chips = insane atomic brownies from hell!! Will twitch while waiting for eyes to return to normal size :P
