So my brother-in-law has decided to name his gestating daughter “River”, after River Tam from Firefly.
When asked, he replies, “That show has had a profound effect on my life.”
We got him the series on DVD for his birthday last fall.
So, in essence,
The only disappointing thing about it all is that now we can’t use the name, should the opportunity arise.
Kaywinnit Lee Lucas… hmmm…
I am a-mazed.
I was listening to a podcast of a Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me episode
and learned that Warren Buffett is providing the voice for himself in a 13
episode animated kids show called The Secret Millionaires Club,
where a bunch of kids become millionaires by selling some sports
memorabilia they found in a crate or something. The show will attempt to
teach financial literacy to kids… the importance of saving, budgeting,
etc.
So,
Okay gang, time to tap the vast knowledge base that is my LJ Friend’s list.
I’ve got a summons for jury duty for Thursday, and I’ve been instructed to
call on Wednesday night to see if I have to show.
Questions:
1) How does this work? If I call and they don’t need me, is it over? Or
do I have to call the next day, and next, etc. until they need me?
b) If they need me, what happens then? Should I bring a couple books and
be prepared for a lot of sitting around until my number is called? Do I
plan to be out for a couple days or more? Will I need a supply of trail
mix?
iii) If it ends up being a murder trial of a famous celebrity, what’s the
best way to hide my notes for my eventual novelization?
