Okay, it was 4 jurors wanted a murder conviction, 4 wanted a voluntary manslaughter conviction, and 4 stuck with not guilty.

The current jury is pretty damn white. t edit Yeah, 7 white women, 2 white men, 2 black women, 1 black man. Not awesome.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yeah, that doesn't sound promising.

Okay, the news says the jury is sequestered overnight again. Jesus.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I like celery in many things—chicken salad, tuna salad, soups, crudité plates. I haven't tried celery root soup, but I'd give it a shot if it were in front of me. I draw the line at celery soda, though.

I once made Cream of Celery soup because I had an overabundance.

I am cracking UP. I bought new running shoes online (rather than a brick and mortar store) because I was buying the same brand/style/size as my last pair. I swear that the picture online made the uppers look silvery grey.

MINT GREEN. With purple-y accents. They are hilariously ugly. I would never have bought this color if I knew that was the color, but I'm not going to the trouble to return them, because they're for exercise, not fashion. I'll just have frog feet for a year.

Green/grey is really difficult online shopping. I have bought things for designers many times that they thought were grey, and when they came they were green- enough that I always read the description and ask if they really want green if I have any doubt!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tomorrow we head to New Jersey for Contata, this year's iteration of the Floating East Coast Filk Con.

There wasn't a description of the color, so I assumed...wrongly! They'll get dirty soon enough that it won't look so jarring. They look like mint chocolate chip ice cream right now, though.

Mmm, mint chocolate chip ice cream shoes.

I'm not crazy about the Cel-ray soda in general, but at times it really hits the spot.
