Jury Duty take two

I escaped my federal jury duty a couple months ago, but I didn't get so lucky with the county. How is it that I live for 11 years registered to vote, and get called for jury duty twice in two months? Bizarre. Anyway, I get to sleep in a few minutes later than usual tomorrow, then I'll be off to the courthouse with my trusty Nintendo DS Lite and newly acquired Dr. Mario game to waste the time away.

My former boss Heather Sharfeddin (offical site, blog) has another novel out now. Though not usually the types of books that I read (contempory western/mystery), I really enjoyed her first novel, Blackbelly. I just got Mineral Spirits today, so I can't comment on it yet, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it. The funny thing about the new book is that they misspelled Heather's last name on the binding. I think this is only an issue with the first edition, but I think it's a fun quirk.
