Another late night.  So what else is new?  I was working today with the IT department at work to make some extra money because, hey, I like extra money.  And 12 hours (of installing new computers) will get me a good chunk.  I need it.  However, I didn't get home until 1:30 am.  This is bad only because I had to call to see if I had to go in tomorrow for the dreaded... JURY DUTY! 
This is the first time I've ever had to do it.  The idea of having to go in for that on my day off obviously leaves a bad taste in my mouth.  It just fuckin' blows.  And normally, with my luck, I figured I'd have to go in on the first day, so I wasn't looking forward to a mere five hours of sleep and then sitting in a hot, stinky room in a drab government building with a bunch of strangers looking miserable or acting crazy enough to try and get out of their obligation. 
But, to my surprise, the Gods somehow saw fit to bestow upon me some good fortune.  I get to sleep in tomorrow and spend the day as I please.  Huzzah!  Happy happy, joy joy!   So tomorrow I'll go to my friend Chris Mancini's place and watch the rough cut of the short film we worked on last month.   Looking forward to seeing it.  I felt good about the work I did on it.  It had been a while since I'd done any Art Directing and I wasn't sure if I was up to it, but much like riding a bicycle, it all came back and I did some fine work.  Yeah, that's right.  I'm patting myself on the back.  Whaddaya gonna do about it?  Heh.  Yeah, that's what I thought. 
Ok, so I suppose I'm off to bed.  I need some Morpheus time.  Tonight, may he fill our REM with pleasant dreams.
