Well, I think Mexican food is something we do awfully well here in LA so I suggest possibly thinking along those lines. I'll be done with skating by 6:45 or so and will be in Glendale, but will go anywhere.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hey, Robin, speaking of Mexican food in L.A., how is Mariasol's, do you know?

Do you have a car, btw, or will you need a ride?
At this point, it looks like I'll need a ride.

GODDAMN FUCKING SONOFABITCH!!!
I just got a notice for jury duty. On May 3rd. While it probably won't amount to anything more than a day of boredom, (1) I can't take a chance that I won't get chosen, so I don't dare make any reservation for the F2F and (2) I was already supposed to be almost a week into my road trip at that point. I can reschedule the road trip, but there's no way I can do the F2F (flying down and back for just the weekend is not really an option - it kinda had to be part of my road trip).
FUCK!

Call and say you're out of town that week? It's worked for me in the past, but I was in uni so that might have counted for more than a vacation would.

In Massachusetts, you can delay jury duty for up to a year without giving a reason. There should be something in your summons about it.

Not on the list of legitimate disqualifiers for MA (hell, not having means to get to the court house isn't a legitimate disqualifier unless you're disabled - I got lucky with the locations the last few times this happened when I didn't have a car). I think uni might count as living elsewhere for the right amount of time.
Usually I don't mind this civic duty stuff, but this is the third time I've had to do this (and they tried to get me for a fourth, but I had been within 3 years).

I didn't see that. I'll have to look at the material more closely. Thanks Jon, I was just kind of flabbergasted and hadn't really looked in depth.
Also, I don't know if this might be different because it's the superior court rather than the district one.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I almost missed the first F2F, because I was in the jury pool for the trial of a man accused of traveling across the country and killing someone he met on the Internet.
He pled guilty before the jury selection was finished.

Our wings are not tired.
I hope you can get it rescheduled Frank.
Yikes, Tom. I've only been on one jury. Thankfully it was a very funny civil case and not an icky murder case. A friend was on a murder case and she had nightmares for a long time. Only been called twice in 27 years in Florida. They must have a big pool or something.
