Apologies for the posting delays, but I was on jury duty on Tuesday. A very interesting experience. I thought that by flashing my press pass around and maybe dropping Nancy Grace's name I'd be dismissed immediately. Not so. The jury foreman in the Phil Spector murder trial is a producer for "Dateline" who has interviewed most of the defense and prosecution witnesses for his stories. As everyone in the WORLD knows, the LA legal system is a strange and mysterious machine. The courthouse I reported to is the same where the Spector trial is taking place (and the OJ trial). There were about 200 of us, about 60% Latino, 20% Asian, and 20% everything else. They called up about 150. I sat around, read Vanity Fair, and they let me go at about 3:30.
The upside to jury duty is excellent lunch choices. The criminal courts building is close to Little Tokyo and Olivera Street (Mexican!), but I opted for Vietnamese. Best beef and rice noodle salad I've had maybe ever and pretty good fresh spring rolls too. Alas, today I'm back in Hollywood and my only lunch choice is Lean Cuisine. Sigh.
PS - Saw Bourne Ultimatum last night. YAY! v fun.
