So, what do you do, DR Cillaliz? Just go wait in your office for a call that the jury's back? Or is that just how it happens on TV?

Well, you don't go anywhere without your cell phone. Usually I sit around and wait, but this has gone on for days, and you can't just sit for days. On the other hand, if the jury has a question, and we've had 3 so far, you have to drop whatever you are doing and go meet with the other lawyer, the judge and the defendant at the courthouse to see if it is something that can be answered or if the answer is to refer to the jury instructions. (that's the answer most of the time) you can't comment on the evidence in anyway, so most questions can't be answered.

I don't have anything scheduled for tomorrow (that I know of) and Edith will be on vacation, so I will probably just stay at the office, go through all my other cases and figure out where I am and what needs to be done next. I have lots of office work I can do. It's very hard to do nothing, but hard to concentrate too...

How many of the DICK & JANE series have you read now, Mr. Barnum?

All of them!

Also at St. Vincent DePaul I found these two fantastic 50s lamps...perfect color for my bedroom and living room (one will be in each room). $8 and in perfect condition...I love the shades!

Or they could be frogs

elmore3003 · « **Reply #188 on:** August 03, 2008, 07:03:34 PM »

If those were alien lamps, they would frighten little Mikey.

I liked the line from one of the designers in that montage, something like: If you enjoy your work, you'll never really work a day in your life.

They may be, however, I agree with Cilla

That is ok, they go well with the poster on the wall behind them. Sort of, I guess that really isn't an alien movie.

Et moi aussi! Sorry about that candle, DR Ginny. At least it wasn't the six-pack of frozen Budweiser that stopped a dancing career I know of.

I'm debating if I'm going to continue this roman a clef I've been reading, QUICKSILVER, from 1942. It's a thinly-disguised, very very long novel about a tour of ROMEO AND JULIET by Katharine Cornell. It's a veddy theatrical and an interesting look at Broadway around 1939 with a lot of oblique comments such as Evelyn, the Cornell character, wearing mannish clothing, the director (Guthrie McClintoc) having a "musical" vocie, a character based on Tyrone Power (I think) being "bohemian" or "decadent." Much as I want to like it, I don't very much. It's like a Nancy Drew book for adults, and those roadsters and teashops got old fast when I was younger.

I'm about four chapters in and I keep wondering why the young actor is so hung up on the Park Avenue girl with the fortune and intense anti-semitic attitude. Much as I wonder why, I find I'm not sure I want to learn the answer. If there is one. I've read much better backstagers.

DR MBarnum, I forgot to congratulate you on all your wonderful finds. Enjoy them, or make loads of money.

At no time in my life has eating cheese ever made me laugh.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #198 on:** August 03, 2008, 08:01:25 PM »

Cutting the cheese is laugh-inducing, though....

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #199 on:** August 03, 2008, 08:01:57 PM »

...but cheese, in and of itself, seems patently humorless to me.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #200 on:** August 03, 2008, 08:02:41 PM »

I felt the need to express that after seeing a Laughing Cow Cheese ad on HGTV.

I've also never seen a cow laugh.

That's all I have to say about that, too.

Accu-weather says we have a fifty percent chance of rain until 11 p.m. tonight. My guess is we'll get the fifty percent chance of NO rain.

It doesn't seem logical to me at all that he would have been the one America wanted to do its dirty work. He's about the most boring player in the game....for me. Renny would have been a whole lot more fun. I'm fairly insistent that CBS is manipulating such things. It's not as much fun this season as I hoped it might be because CBS seems to be trying to get the houseguests to be "like" previous houseguests.

When I went back down, I started watching the Disney anaimated ATLANTIS film. A user on the forum where I work wanted someone to try watching it on a Samsung 1500, and since I have that Blu-ray player, I helped him out by trying it. He couldn't get his to play, but mine played like a champ.

I hadn't watched this movie in years (since it first came out), so it was nice to revisit. Lots of famous voice actors: Michael J. Fox, James Garner, sounds like Selma Diamond and Jodie Foster, but I didn't check the credits to be sure.

Matt H. · « **Reply #204 on:** August 03, 2008, 08:34:56 PM »

I was gone from home about 2 1/2 hours tonight. More about that at some future date (if there is anything to talk about).

Matt H. · « **Reply #205 on:** August 03, 2008, 08:35:33 PM »

When I got back, I continued watching ATLANTIS for about half an hour. I'll finish it tomorrow. I have no memory at all of what happens to the characters.

Matt H. · « **Reply #206 on:** August 03, 2008, 08:36:43 PM »

I finished my evening watching tonight's LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT. A good case with spoiled prep school students that just made my skin crawl. John Shea was a primary guest star.

Whew. Just finished cleaning up the dishes. The stir-fry was tasty and enough to have it for dinner again tomorrow. I also roasted brussells sprouts, since I've been craving them for weeks. I devoured hte moajority of them but there's a bit left over. Yum!

When I was in Phoenix, there were no cell phones so we waited in our offices. Lots of time I'll wait at the courthouse with family members or have them come back to my office and wait there.
