locker_monster- Yay, jury duty done! In time for the long weekend, too. Annoyingly, we were sequestered so we had to spend last night in a hotel. I mean, when they tell you to pack and bring an overnight bag, you really don't think you'll have to use it, but yup, we had to use it. Sure, on the one hand, you get a night in a hotel away from family obligations and such, but on the other hand, I really don't want to be in a hotel away from the familiar. On top of that, the TV doesn't work, so you can't spend the evening watching movies or whatever, no radios or clocks either so you don't know what time it is, and you don't have your phone either. I was fine without my phone, I brought a book to read, but I could tell that some of the other jurors really missed their phones. Sort of seemed like a waste of taxpayers' money to me, to put up 12 people in a hotel for the night, but I get that you don't want people going home and seeing the news and skewing the results of the trial. Anyway, I'm just glad it's done and now I can get back to my real job.
- The Flash trailer is up and not just a teaser one. Really, it ruins the plot of the first episode, especially a cameo by a certain someone, but what are you going to do? So far, the premise kind of reminds me of Smallville in that the hero and the reason for all of these villains suddenly appearing are tied together by one incident. Smallville had all of that kryptonite mutating people; The Flash has the explosion of the particle accelerator bringing about meta-humans (good and evil). I'm not sure about Barry's costume, but it's definitely harder to pull off than Ollie's costume on Arrow. I'll give the show a shot, for sure, though. If anything, it's another show filming in Vancouver so more chances for Canadian actors to appear. Also got to love that they hired the actor who played the Flash previously to play the dad of the current Flash. Hmm, stunt casting...
- And I also watched the trailer for Karen Gillan's new show, Selfie. Her American accent is... okay. Not great, but it's passable. It's just great to see her being the lead on an American TV show. I don't know if the show will do really well; only time and viewership will tell.
- From the sound of things, there's lots to clean up at work since I was away. I will probably go in tomorrow just so there isn't a pile of work to tackle on Tuesday. But Godzilla on Sunday. Godzilla!
