My first major project got out of my hands (not completely my fault), and I had to get an extension. Oops, wait, let's try that in workspeak. Due to miscommunication, the scope of the project has been adjusted somewhat. Fortunately, we've been allotted some additional time to make this happen.

A fairly short service, only about 30 min or so. Its a shame that there are relatives you see only at a funeral. It was a weird experience. What with all the family drama, knowing that there were people I probably won't see for more than a few years. Oh well. Apparently an older cousin of mine passed away yesterday.

To prepare myself I've:
1. copied the entire extended Lord of the Rings trilogy to my Archos player (thanks Kojo)
2. Confirmed that Dreamcast still works and Crazy Taxi is still the G.O.A.T.
3. Added all of my music to the iTunes music library, just to see how long I can go without repeating a song (30 days)

Caping off a week that may go down as the worst ever, Juan is in jail. He is accused of assaulting a police officer in the small hours of the morning, and is currently awaiting arraignment. The whole thing reaks of bullshit since Juan isn't the officer assulting type. Scary stuff. He's a trooper and he'll survive, but it still reaks of bullshit.

Nothing of particular interest to note. Following up on my last post way back when, I was unable to vote. Not that it particularly mattered since NY is a red state (or is it blue), but it still sucks, and underlines the cruel joke that we call the electoral college. Four more years of Bush.

Not that I didn't try. To explain this requires some painful and awkward confessions.
First and foremost, I was once a conservative. Not that I'm not now, but time and experience have liberalized my heart to some degree, but not to the point where I'm a full fledged democrat.

FREEDOM!
In a homage to Lisa, here's a list of jury duty highlights
1. not having to go to work for 10 days...and getting paid
2. falling asleep in the jury box. its not the same as sleeping with somebody in court, but hey..baby steps
3. seeing a grown man cry under cross examination

I'm just as surprised as you are. Allow me to backtrack. I'm waiting for the bus and this guy gives me a head nod. Nothing malicious, just a general 'i see and acknowledge your presence' nod.

Made some progress on Crime and Punishment, which is shaping up to be quite the page turner. I decided that I would dedicate the weekend to making progress on one of the two screenplay ideas. That was pretty much a bust as I only have two pages of actual screenplay, and one line of dialog. But its a start.

It sucks because not only am i starting something and not finishing it, but i also feel like the longer the delay, the better the returning post should be.

Another 10 hr shift @ Kaplan followed by a night out on the town with my favorite little buddy. Highlights included checking out 'Open Water' and people watching at Penn Station. If you ask me, it has the making of the next great reality show.

SO i get my phone bill, and its like 200 bucks. Guess i forgot to pay last month. Opps. So I, being the concerned consumer that I, take a moment to review my bill. And there's a 60 dollar charge for text messages. So I contact the tmobile customer service line. Not only did catherine zeta jones douglas not pick up, but I was sassed. By a customer service rep.

It sucks as. I ordered it against the advice of Lisa, and it bit me in ass. Hard. And left a mark. That shit's going back ASAP. Hopefully overstock will still have this item in stock.

After years of cruel hateful comments, I must now admit that Usher happens to be the fucking man. I caught him in Bryant Park this morning before work, and damn. He's like the Michael Jackon of my generation. Ya know..without the pedophilia thing. And the nose thing. Oh well, there's still time.

Juan and I tossed around movie ideas. I think it helps to talk about it to keep me motivated. I've been stuck in the development stage for quite some time now. I've finally got down to the essence of the story. Twenty-something indifference. I guess it does goood to bounce ideas off of someone. It adds another layer of realness.

At some point, unbeknownst me to me, Friday became a psuedo-holiday as evidenced by the phrase 'Happy Friday'. So how did I spend my happy Friday. An 11 hr shift @ Kaplan, followed by drinks (or rather, drink) with some of the other Kaplanites.

I don't really have much to say right now. I'm home sweating my ass off.
