I have discharged my civic duty!

[browngirl]

Jury duty consisted of watching a hilariously cheesy instructional video (I took a page of notes which boil down to LOLOLOLOL) and three hours of cooling my heels and chatting the ear off of the fascinating young man I sat beside. He has the same first name and general aesthetic as lyonesse's Elf (long red hair, clear water-colored eyes, sharp cheekbones and very thin and elfin overall), he teaches music and performs, he's a cantorial soloist, and he studied LAtin in high school too. I rather bent his ear, I fear, but he was actually interesting. I wish I could have introduced him to Tigerlily, so they could have talked jazz and sunscreen, and I actually did tell him to look L up on the subject of mushroom hunting.

I'm writing this 11 hours after I got home because after lunch I took a nap that lasted until nearly sunset, and then I spent some time cooking and choredoing and a wee bit of child wrangling and so on. I missed Wolf's mom's visit, which is a pity, but she left me three etrogim, which is extremely exciting!

Now, onwards. Tomorrow I have cooking and jobhunting. *rolls up sleeves*

I'm surprised you didn't recite Catullus 16 at him. O.o

I had to look that up. One look at the Google snippet of the Wikipedia article -- the first line in Latin -- caused me to ejaculate "Oh God, that one!"

*hee hee hee* That's because you're not the kind of weirdo that browngirl and I both are. :)

DUDE. I was trying to talk, not flirt.

Why ever not? :-)

You should have introduced him to me so that I could have my filthy way with him.

Heh. I did keep wondering if he knew any of my friends. :)

Are the etrogim for the fruitcake?

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

In most years they would be but I'm going to do other things with them this year.

My immediate response to your subject header, before I read the rest, was "Was there an itching, burning sensation as well?"

I think that's emblematic of how I feel about politics right now.

I'm glad your jury duty went fine.

Etrogim remind me of this comic. The last two panels, in juxtaposition, always both move me and make me howl with laughter.

interesting! elf my elf is so very unusual-looking, it's fascinating to know he has a twin out there :)
