Female poetry

Я повстречала его весною, он был художник почти известный,
Мы целовались с ним под сосною - И он женился, поскольку честный.
Он пил немного, он был негрубым, такое счастье, девки, лишь раз бывает!
Одно смущало - почистит зубы, и вечно тюбик не закрывает.
Но я внимания сперва не обращала - такой мужчина мне небом даден!
И всё по-бабьи его прощала, всё - даже тюбик, будь он неладен...
А он, рисуя, впадал в нирвану , то вдруг обнимет - люблю, говорит, и баста!
То вдруг, проказник, потащит в ванну - а там... А там ОТКРЫТА ЗУБНАЯ
ПАСТА!!!!!!!
А я, как дура - носки стирала, В супы ложила бульонный кубик,
И всё просила, всё умоляла: "Почистил зубы - ЗАКРОЙ, БЛИН, ТЮБИК!!!"
А он, скотина - ну ка нарочно: "Всё это, Глаша - говорит - второстепенно!"
Скажите, девки - ну разве можно ЛЮБИТЬ И ГАДИТЬ ОДНОВРЕМЕННО?!
И я с досады ушла к соседу, ведь у соседа - вставная челюсть.
...На полке тюбик от бленд-а-меду лежит закрытый. Какая прелесть...

Judge and Jury. Literally.

Today marks my first encounter with the US legal system.

I have apparently missed a jury summons last year and have therefore been labeled a delinquent juror. A few days back I received a threatening official document stating that the government has initiated legal proceedings against me for failure to serve as a juror. I had to appear in person in Brooklyn court today.

It wasn't bad, really.

County clerk took my threatening letter, which included a detachable juror card (a clue, Sherlock!), and made me choose my jury duty day. I chose May 26th (a Friday - federal crap always ends at 5 at the latest, unlike my work).

She then forwarded me to a court room upstairs. Once I entered the court room I understood this hearing will not be a one-on-one with the judge. About two hundred other delinquent jurors were all present and ready to be beaten with reeds.

His Honour came out and gave us a shpeel about us being in contempt of court. He then levied a $250 fine which he promised to waive if we make sure we appear on our scheduled jury duty day.

The clerk then read out the names and the dates of the jury service. I said "Present" so that the court scribe could put my acknowledgement into the annals of court system.

I then left the building. No handcuffs.

Friday night bitch...

What's worse than doing a major production release on a Friday night when I could be elsewhere doing nice things?

And it ain't over yet...
