Jury Duty: DAY FOUR (Friday)

Nothing to report, of course, but before I went to court, I stopped off at a Quiznos.

Damn good subs

I was sitting in there, the rain was coming down hard and I was eating a toasty sub -- I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's the little things -- I felt like a million bucks! I forgot to mention this: Before I left my apartment, I put on a shirt but the, I'm not sure how to describe it, the button holes on this particular shirt are always creased down the middle. Usually, I say screw it and walk out the door but going to court and all, I had to bust out the iron, it's probably more common to see a humming bird make love to a goat, than to see me ironing my own clothes, ha ha. So, I'm ironing on my dresser as my ironing board never works right, I lift up my shirt and see this:

Oops!

I burned my damn dresser! Its been in my family longer than I've been in my family! I tried to Pledge it out but no dice. Thank goodness this happened the day before my birthday because this isn't something a thirty-six year old should do. Thirty five, it's understandable. Around 8 PM, Carl was the first person to wish me a happy birthday, he's in England, so he was REALLY the first. We had a nice ichat, he's a good guy.

Ichatting is incredibly fun! I heard from a lot of people that night, which was nice. Shoutout to Justin, Eric, Walter, "Sally", Jay and others.

Saturday (My birthday!). I woke up around 11 and watched TV. OK, let's stop right here, before I go on, I didn't do anything special for my birthday, I did my laundry, I went to the A & P and for a special treat to myself, I bought an ipod alarm clock from Bed, Bath & Beyond. This is how I wanted my day to go...around 8 PM, I started to think, damn, this kind of sucks, ha ha! I'm such a dumb ass sometimes. But it turned out to be a lovely evening anyway.

Sunday I woke up at 10 AM to the sound of the building's fire alarm. Very annoying. I dealt with it but not doing a damn thing. It went off three more times, the fire department came once -- I just don't care about that crap anymore. Around 2 PM, I went for a drive around the area, got a full tank of gas. When you go out, it's always good to have some sort of plan. I didn't know where I was going and I ended up at a very crowded Target. While I was walking past the musical instrument isle I heard THIS, and at that moment, I decided to never leave my apartment again.

But then I realized that's just silly. I drove back to my apartment and moved some furniture around. I moved my burned dresser to my living room. I figured I can't fix the burn, so I'll put my TV on top of it.

I don't mind this

I was using an Ikea metal desk (huge & ugly) as a TV stand and hated it every time I looked at it. This will work for now but I'm not so sure how having my underwear in my living room is going to work, ha ha. Hello neighbor!

That's it! Shoutout to my brother George, he's 38 today!

Have a good one George!
