Jury Duty: DAY THREE
I don't want to talk about anything, again, because I want to be a good juror but I can say that the case has started. I'm going to be involved until the middle of next week. I'm enjoying this experience, it's pretty interesting. I'm not enjoying the temperature of the courtroom, it's right on the line of being uncomfortable. I will wear lighter clothing from now on. And I'm really not enjoying breathing the air from a male juror that really likes to wear perfume. He smells like the bastard child of Polo and Aqua Velva. On their own, they're very enjoyable scents but team them up and it smells like a drag-queen's wet dream. You get my point.
Holy crap, I'm having a birthday tomorrow!
Thirty-F@#king-six!

This feels like a big one to me (hello Mr. Roper). But I'm not the type to really care about age -- thirty six is the new twenty six, thank God because my 20's sucked. I won't be celebrating my birthday with friends this year, I just don't feel like it. Instead, I think I'll just get drunk in a dark room while scanning the 'escort services' section of the yellow pages -- but not calling. To each his own.
I'm down on The Apprentice this time around. I think they did themselves a disservice by franchising out the show to Martha. Too much "reality" on TV. Have you ever caught, and I can't believe I even have to write this on my site, Breaking Bonaduce? Here's my problem with that show: THEY ALL KNOW THEY'RE ON TV! You DO NOT act the same when you know you're being taped, it's total horses*%t! But maybe there's some sort of scripted reality that I'm not aware of -- whatever.
Before I go, I wanted to send a shoutout to my coworkers for picking up the slack while I'm performing my civic duty. Thank you: Justin, Eric, Rob, Amy, Linda, Paul and Daniel!
OK, that's it! Have a great weekend!
All my best,
Bob
