Justice

I'm going to get sick of the Michael Jackson thing in five ... four ... three ... two ... one.

We didn't really get the trial here, so far as I could see. What we got was occasional sidebars in Metro with Americans with signs and shrines to the man's innocence. So frankly, I'd almost forgotten he was on trial. I didn't think he'd get anything more than a slap on the wrists, though -- it was kind of obvious from what little I did see that the prosecution side were trying it on at least somewhat, which gives reasonable doubt a look-in. Still, LJ is going to be full of arguments, quotes and opinions, and I will go quietly nuts. Or not-so-quietly, knowing me.

Must leave fairly soon. I at least have my route mapped out. I take the 263 as normal, then I take the 43. Then, when I'm done helping justice to be served insofar as I can when I'm undercaffeineated at 8:30 on a Tuesday morning, I will hop a 2-something-or-other and go back to work. Yay. After a day at work, I will come home to an empty house as [livejournal.com profile] dodgyhoodoo is going off to the movies with [livejournal.com profile] weaselbitch. I think putting together a dinner for one with what we've got in the fridge shouldn't be a problem, provided I can be bothered at the end of the day. Then? Probably Sims 2 or just a book.

Oops. Chatting to [livejournal.com profile] nightskywarlock and the time, it has got away from me. Hasta.

The vast majority of us ignored it as well as we could, too. I did read one article about the trial, which was basically an opinion piece about what could be wrong that the US wasn't tuning in whole-hog. The poor press is so confused.
