New Post? Really?

I know it's been a very long time since I have blogged about anything. The truth of the matter is, I have been staying busy. Most of my hours, lately, have been taken up with putting words on a computer screen that the thought of having to actually come home and do the same thing is kind of dreadful. That's not to say I don't have a lot going on, I do. My weekends have been constantly built out with social engagements, surfing, friends visiting and so on. I guess I can say my weekends have been feeling like, well, weekends. And it has been very nice.
So, I guess I can give a brief highlight of some of the past things I could have blogged about, but decided not to, out of just not wanting to.
- One of my closest friends from Portland came to visit me for the first time. That was very fun. I always love when friends visit. It gives me an excuse to take a day off from work, go to expensive, but celebrity-haven restaurants, hit the club/bar scene, and give a tour of my work. Which I rarely take the time to be proud of, until somebody visits me.

- I signed up for my first Malibu triathlon. I am very nervous and scared, but since figure there's only one way to see if you can accomplish it and that's by doing it.

- I recently got into the show "Damages" on F/X. If you have not seen it, you must! I rarely get into shows on TV, anymore, because they either suck or get cancelled. This is one I stand one hundred percent behind.

So, there you go. Just a few subjects I could have easily blogged about, but didn't. I promise I will be better. I have a few more fun things coming my way. Starting tomorrow, when I have to cover a photo shoot featuring Days of our Lives hunk, Jay Kenneth Johnson, in a bubble bath. Yeah, sometimes it's tough having my job :)

Jury Duty

Great news, my friends! I got out of jury duty. Now, don't get me wrong, I understand that it's part of our judicial court system and that heaven forbid, I ever get falsely accused of a crime, I expect a jury of my peers to not complain, but instead bust my butt out. It is just such a hassle. I was able to use my name-dropping skills to talk about how my law knowledge comes from Law & Order shows since I work on them. I was still called in seat 11. But, after a few more questions, the defense dismissed me. It was still interesting to see how the court system works. Since this was my first journey to jury duty. I got out in just the nick of time. Chris Brown is due to be arraigned this week on his assault charges. As if traffic wasn't enough downtown. Now, fingers crossed, they will forget all about me for a few years.
