argh. it seems one day i write well and the next day i struggle. tomorrow, then, i should have a good writing day. this morning i have just been slogging, and writing stuff i would never keep if i weren't pushing for a word count. but i guess that's the point of this exercise.

the courts don't want me today. i'm a little bit hurt. i'll be transcribing instead. oh well. i rather hope they want me tomorrow. just because. my opportunities to get on a jury are dwindling.

kara and i watched a documentary called sir! no sir! yesterday evening and it was riveting. it's about the soldiers in the vietnam era who were against the war. excellent film. it made us good and angry. i think it's important and highly relevant. everyone should see it.

kara and i put our ballots in our mailbox yesterday morning, along with disk 5 of season 4 of "24." voting is important. now, yes, the weather in this part of the country yesterday was torrential, relatively. heavy rain and heavy wind all day. max was afraid to go outside and he peed three times inside, right by the fridge, and pooed once. inside. but that's not what i'm talking about.

the postal carrier picked up kara's ballot and the dvd but left my ballot in the box. it was there under the mail dropped off for us. i was mad, kara was mad. carelessness on the part of the postal service. perhaps the weather could be blamed?

oh. i have to get to work.
