Oh man...finals are over and I just got a summons for jury duty.
Anyone know how to get out of this?
Anytime you find yourself on a jury, tell the judge you met the guy/girl on trial a few years ago and you thought they were an asshole. It won't get you out of the waiting around for trial, but it will get you out of the trial itself.

I got called up about 10 years ago, but I was working at the time, so it was cool. I got out of work and got an extra 100 bucks a week. Though the cases I got on the jury for were pretty boring.

I had a really mean cold last month, and every time I blew my nose it would put huge pressure on my inner ear and I couldn't keep my balance. I fell over like 3 times.
3 different programs on my computer that play DVDs, and only one of them does frame-by-frame playback. And that, only forward, not backward. :x
I find this surprising and annoying, as it seems like a feature that should be taken for granted as being there. It's like going to a car dealership and finding out all those shiny brand new cars on the lot don't have seat belts.
You know another weird feature omission that pisses me off to no end? Why can't Itunes tell me if the tracks I'm about to burn to a CD will fit on said CD BEFORE I start burning?
Every time I make a mix it turns into a game of deleting songs to make them fit on the disc. I remember the old disc burning software back in the day before Itunes, had a convenient little bar that showed when you exceeded past the CD data limit. Why is there nothing like this? Why?!
Oh and hey Bacon I tried to watch Dragon Tiger Gate but I feel asleep before Donnie Yen even showed up. I sleep a lot though.

I have 2 dvd programs that hold the sound of the movie hostage until you pay a ransom.
I don't know why I haven't uninstalled them yet, probably because I'm really lazy.
@EWA: I don't blame you, even though he shows up like, 10 minutes into the film. (Personally I didn't recognize him until 30 minutes in, when I checked IMDB because I was like, "I thought Donnie Yen was supposed to be in this, does he play some stupid side character or something?", but no, he's Dragon, the teenage boy-band looking protagonist (other than the other protagonist), at which point I was like, "what the fuck.")
I'm sketching frames from Ong-Bak 1 now, and it's pretty fun. Though I suppose going through the shot (in this case, the first fight in the club where Tony Jaa takes down the American guy in one hit) at a rate of one frame every three minutes really is going to have the effect of making all those kung-fu kicks look really avoidable and how do you walk into that are you stupid or what.
I know I had at least 2 copies of PowerDVD lying around, I hope I didn't throw them out or anything when I moved. I thought it was just a shitty program that came bundled with shit, considering it seemed pretty shitty and it came bundled with shit.

I live in the same city.

Well, maybe his friends and family should get together and commit a felony, so then they can spend the time at the trial together.

the time never came. Tried calling she didn't answer the phone
Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one!
EDIT: See, THIS is why I wanted somebody other than me to also have seen this movie! So we can share our "what the fuck" reactions!

Simple. They know they won't be hit
There are a lot of bogus and boring politics to follow as well.
without the acting to back it up, I just never gave half a shit about them
You know its bad when someone has to make a 90 minute review of a movie that winds up more entertaining than the movie.
You want some pizza rolls?
