Ordinary Beauty

I made myself a very tidy ToDo List before leaving the office today, and now I cannot find it; I must have left it on the desk, which means of course that I have nothing more pressing ToDo than meddle with this blog.

My friend Dominique, whom I think is probably the epitome of Dork, has a new video. There’s like this fancy way to just upload it to blogs, but for some reason the Google video site does not include my blog backend (wordpress) amongst the options. So, go ahead click and see for yourself. Somewhere amongst his stuff is a great piece involving a loud machine.

Wednesday morning I have to report for jury duty. Everyone near me knows I’ve been complaining about this. It’s not the duty of it, it’s the crazy ass location of it. Somehow I’ve been called to the Reginal Justice Center in Kent, which from my apartment in morning rush hour, who knows how long it will take to get there, so I have to leave insanely early, which means I have to get up stupidly early. It’s called stupidly early because getting up that early leaves me muddled and stupid.

Really, I wish I was called to the Seattle courthouse, a twenty minute bus ride from my home. That I might even enjoy. Who’s in charge of this stuff anyway.

So, my goal of course is to see if I can get kicked out of the pool. That’s wrong, sure. But cripes. Between being half asleep and my generally variable and leaky memory, no one in their right mind would want me making decisions about their case.

Circus Contraption has concocted a party for which we’ve alreay purchased our tickets. JINXED: A Halloween Blowout. It’s nice to have my second favorite circus back in town.
