Juries, Juries, Everywhere

After performing my civic duty of Jury service for the last two days, Alyssa and I viewed 12 Angry Men. Starring Henry Fonda, this movie is approximately 96 minutes long and takes place entirely in a jury deliberation room. It was great! Brilliant dialogue, funny moments, high tension and a well written, well acted movie all the way around. Well worth the time to pick it up and give it a view.
The jury duty case I was on ended up being dismissed after two days of missed work and jury examination. Oh well. I earned a big $15 for my two days off, almost enough to pay for gas to and parking at the courtroom!

New Haps

Not much going on for me. Josh and I finally finished the refinance which should save us both a little bit of money going forward. I've began settling in to the idea of having an honest to God fiancee. We went to dinner Thursday night, I looked at her with what I believe to be pure admiration in my eyes and said, "You're going to be my wife." I love the sound of that. She makes me so happy. Also, I'm very good at Wii Sports and Wii Play. My brother bought a new Wii and I played a lot of it this weekend. I'm still waiting on our next movie update though. Hopefully we'll get to 12 Angry Men soon.
