It turns out I was dismissed after day one of jury duty. There's a lot of whining involved with jury duty, but I always thought being part of the judicial process seemed cool. I was also Captain of my high school Mock Trial team so perhaps it's me just trying to recapture my youth. After my experience, I wouldn't classify it as "cool" since it's just a lot of waiting around, but I still found it interesting and I had the time to get lots of reading done.

| Just across the street from Smile To Go is a store I am newly obsessed with. Michele Varian carries all sorts of curiosities from painted antique hatchets to wine glasses. I found plenty of things I wanted to buy right then and there but decided to go home and think about it to avoid going broke. |

| I'm preppy. Whoa! Newsflash! As such, I'm a pretty big fan of Kate Spade. I like her simple cuts and patterns and how happy all of her products feel. Well if regular Kate Spade is happy, Kate Spade Saturday, a new line, is downright punchy. Lots of bright colors and bold (yet somehow still simple) patterns defines the brand. I plan to buy some pillows this weekend and have my eye on a few other items. |

| When I got out of the subway at Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall, I was excited to see the huge, stately courthouse buildings. Massive columns! Rocky-type steps! The weight of justice being served fairly hanging in the air! Unfortunately, I served jury duty in a less dignified building - some would even say dingy - but it was still cool to see all the other buildings and remember just how far back our country's laws stretch. |
