So, I get home from the pub, and turn on the laptop. I throw on 'Theatre is Evil', by Amanda Palmer and The Grand Theft Orchestra, partly because the CD player is broken, partly because it's the only album I have downloaded to the laptop and mostly because it is a bitchin' album. ('Do It With a Rockstar' has to be be the best rock song of 2012.)
Once that is done, I fire up the ole' twitter on the above-mentioned laptop. Lo and behold, Amanda Palmer is holding court on the fact that she has been selected for jury duty. After going through a bunch of re-tweets from Ms. Palmer about how to get out of jury duty, I reply to one of her tweets with something like 'Show up; be cool; try to be a peer. Don't make excuses to get out of it: i.e., be a citizen...'
So what happens? Amanda Fucken Palmer re-tweets me. Just as I'm listening to 'Trout Head Replica'...
Sometimes, life is good. And random. And Neil should be the happiest lad on the planet...
