First time in a while that I didn't spend 12 hours at work. Feels good to be home in time for dinner. Of course, I prep it for myself, so I'm always home in time for dinner.

I got a subpoena for court served on me today. It's for a jury trial on a driving on a suspended license case in October. I prosecuted defendant (who is representing himself, and frankly is mental) in lower court, where he received a minimal sentence. When defendant subpoenaed PHB, PHB requested the court appoint a substitute CA, which the court did.

Defendant has subpoenaed four of the five attorneys in our office, plus one victim-witness coordinator and one secretary. I told the victim-witness coordinator, who is absolutely freaked out, that we would bring DVD's and popcorn to the witness room, and throw a party. The county can't make us work, and they have to pay us without docking our sick leave or vacation.

No, this is a guy with half a brain.

The one-legged guy is a victim in a case I had a bond hearing on this week. Another local thug broke into his house and stole his Wii. First his leg, then his Wii; he's having a tough decade.

I think that sounds like fun!

Better he lost his Wii than his wee! ;) Better for him, anyway.

Good question! There's a redbox down the road at the Walgreen's. We'll have to schedule some comedy in advance. I don't know how old school my colleagues would like to go; I have "Blazing Saddles," "Animal House," and "Airplane!" at the house.

What, no "12 Angry Men," or "To Kill a Mockingbird"? "A Few Good Men"? ;)

Actually, I like your list better. (Though I'd throw in "Bull Durham" just for some good quotes too.)

What about Shawshank Redemption or some prison themed movies?

Not nearly enough smilies used on this page!

Man, some great movies ideas here.

How about "Legally Blonde"?

Escape From Alcatraz

Any of the Grisham movies: The Firm, The Client, Pelican Brief, etc...

It feels like Fall today, after the rain last night.

I watched Legally Blonde last week on TV, as there was nothing else on. But it is still a cute movie.

Shawshank......... one of the best ever!!! Love Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins... awesome actors! Better get busy living, or get busy dying.

I love how it feels outside today. I just ate grits. I need sales. The weekend is here. Yay.

I'm working my way throught "Learning Perl" (The Llama, for those in the know) and have actually been able to write working scripts! I just finished chapter 3. There are 17 chapters in the book. Baby steps.

Oh, WTH, let's make it an even 29000 here.
