Things to cheer myself up

[cmk418]

I've been burning the candle at both ends recently so I'm taking a night off from the writing (for the most part). The jury duty thing has been hell - 2 days and we've spent only 4 hours in the courtroom still in the middle of jury selection - I'm not on the panel yet, still out in the gallery, but I have to go back again tomorrow (after putting in a couple hours at the office, like I did today) to sit in the room and listen to the same question "do you think you can be impartial?" over and over again. If I respond that I think everyone involved in the case is equally an asshole, does that mean I'm still impartial. This is undeniably inefficient. And no, I'm not talking about the case, I'm talking about the process, thereby, not violating anything. Anyhoo, I've been spending my available minutes back at work - went there when we were done yesterday, before we started this morning, when we went on our 3 hour recess today, and then after. I would have stayed longer afterward, but Wifey was there and being a bitch and I'd had it up to here with her. So I did the thing I planned to do on Saturday which was go see "Eastern Promises". It's quite fun and there's nothing that beats stress better than watching a naked Viggo kicking a whole lotta ass (BTW, they haven't censored it - yet). It felt a little bit lighter than "A History of Violence" but there was still some things that may make some people a little bit squeamish.

And both the Kings & my beloved Blackhawks won their pre-season games tonight. I've stopped putting a lot of stock in pre-season, but the winning is still very nice.

I'm sorry that you still aren't finished with jury duty. Maybe you should try the "veryone involved is an asshole"response and see if it works!
And it sounds like this is making work more stressful,too. I hope the situation improves soon.
A naked Viggo kicking ass? Did he kick ass while he was naked? Now that would be something I'd like to see!
I really liked History of Violence-that was an intense movie.I loved the scene in the diner where he has to kill the people trying to kill him. Is that wrong?
It's funny how when your teams win you just feel better overall,isn't it? I know this whole crappy week was better when the Yankees won!

Yes, Viggo is naked while kicking some Chechnyan (I don't think that's spelled right) ass. It's a fun movie. Kind of the reverse of "A History of Violence". In fact, I would recommending seeing them back to back with "Eastern Promises" shown first.

I'm glad the Yankees are winning. It'll be more fun if the Cubs beat the Yanks in the Series rather than the Red Sox (or anyone else for that matter) since all anyone who doesn't beat the Yankees gets to hear about is that it would be different if the Yanks were in it.

Yes, I did say Cubs.

You can stop laughing now. Really.

I must see the naked Viggo kicking ass! I am sure that would improve my mood tremendously!

I'm not laughing about the Cubs being in the World Series! Ok, maybe just a little,but it is certainly possible!(I'm kidding, I really started laughing when you said "you could stop laughing now. Really")
But excuse me,- beating the Yankees in the World Series? I don't think so! :0)
At least I hope not!
