the universe handed me a "go to the gallery guilt-free!" card today! i was starting to get worried about the ephemera exhibit: i thought i had a good idea but needed to see the main exhibit first, and i didn't know when i was going to get a chance to do that since the gallery is only open 10-5, and i had jury duty starting today. after the introductory explanations and the educational video and the remarks from one of the circuit judges (i'll have to write them up later because they were so very cynical!), we were allowed to go on break. i had just set myself up in the "quiet room," wishing they had a wireless network when they announced, "this doesn't happen very often, but apparently there are no cases on the docket today. you can all go home." and thus, thanks to the "one day or one trial" law, i completed my very first jury service. :D

so that gave me some time to stop by the gallery and assess the space. the main exhibit, despite all the controvery, looks great. and they have a plethora of touchable books & handling gloves! eee! unfortunately, my idea, as cool as it was, won't work because the pieces are so obviously grouped into "vignettes" and tightly packed. so as much as i hate having to do this, i think i'm going to have to use a freaking bulletin board. i was hoping for something so much more interesting. at least i know how the space is configured now.

so i stopped by michael's and reaffirmed my loathing for the place, and then the new barnes n noble, which actually allows you to scan any cd they have and listen to clips from all the tracks on that album. very cool. finally i stopped by escondido valu craft and picked up some stuff. on the way home i swung by cupid's to get a chocolate ice-cream cone: it was quite warm today, but i'm not a big chocolate fan and so i don't know why i wanted it. but since i made the trip, i was crushed when not two steps out of the door it fell off the cone and rolled into the parking lot. i went back in and the guy gave me a new one for free. (thanks!)

then i came home and napped while the sun set. mmmmmmmmmmmm. now i'm on my way to pick up the bowl i left at cary's house during the last sdfc board meeting (i've been trying to do this for 2 weeks now but it's turned into a big comedy of errors). and i have to stop by office depot to pick up labels and hole reinforcers.

gosh. such an exciting life. ;)
