"I need to talk to you about your jury dutice." —my mom, in a rush, trying to say "jury duty notice"
(Yes, I've been called for jury dutice in a city in which I haven't lived for six years. I think I'll do it! I'll do my dutice!)

So as the President of the Western Region of the RosenFans Club (Yes, your fan club had to be split into regions due to back door infighting), I have a complaint! I was chatting with another celeb on Myspace and discovered you posted a drawing pic. However, even with my 30 inch LCD screen, I can't make it out very well! It's like looking miniature stamp!
Wouldn't it be a pain if they MADE you go and sit through a 12 week murder trial?
I actually worked with someone who was on a jury for a murder trial. It only took 3 or 4 days though - it was an open and shut case. It was still a very emotional experience for her, having to listen to all the evidence and look at crime scene photos, etc. I believe they were sequestered too.
So I guess they really have cancelled Red Eye overseas. No other countries are getting it now!

You maam, are not close to becoming Steve Martin.
