Blind Justice

Though my intentions are clear in my sketches, the actual items and characters have yet to come exactly as I picture them (as Blind Justice knows all too well.) I wonder what level of artistry I'll need to envision something and transmit that exact conception to paper. Perhaps it is a matter of meditation. I admit I rush from idea to execution- So as not to procrastinate, and also because I don't want to be addicted to brain crack. As of now, I don't see how I could manage a daily blog any other way.

On the subjects of scheduling and of the sketch- I got called up for jury duty. I'm relieved, actually- I thought perhaps I missed a summons sometime, having never been called. My sister and mom, meanwhile, have been called up twice each in the past eight years. My concerns were compounded by the fact that when I went to renew my driver's license the clerk had so much trouble finding my information he asked me for my alias.

Looks like I'm a U.S. citizen after all, and one who will have to bike 10 miles to do her duty (as there is a note that says specifically that distance is not a hardship.) I could delay for a year, but now is probably as flexible as I will ever be so I figure I'll just go for it. My big consolation in all of this is that the Massachusetts Jury System Website looks like someone's 5th grade html project.
