OnlineVerdict.com helps out U.S. jurors

One of my favorite blogs is GeekSugar.com. In a slide show, I found out that U.S. citizens over eighteen can actually participate at providing opinion for cases that are going to trial - and earn money for it.
The caption reads: "If you're over the age of 18 and are a US citizen, you can make money at home by giving your opinion online with Online Verdict about cases that are going to trial. Way better than jury duty."

I checked out the website and here's how they make their people work:

Bits and Pieces - Food and Such

I love Chowking's hot naicha! This hot, milky goodness can be had for only twenty six bucks per cup! I think hot naicha tastes like tea gelatin, the one that comes with a Terriyaki Boy chibi meal. So good! I always order a chibi meal at Terriyaki Boy just to eat the tea gelatin that comes with it. I don't drink tea, however.

I discovered a new treat - flour tortilla sandwiches. The best filing for me so far is cream cheese spread. Tortilla is so good;

Laughter isn't always the same

I read an informative article on How Stuff Works. Incidentally, I feel as though I get to know the other kinds of laughter more as I grow older. Don't we all laugh honest laughter as children?

The author named 5 different types of laughter.

How To Make Any Food

Browsing through the net one day, I came across this useful website. Its called "Recipe Puppy" and allows the user to search for recipes to make any food:

Daycare Nightmare

I must confess that I am a compulsive shopper, especially when it comes to books. I like to buy whatever I can, for the thrill of a getting a good book out of a pile of seemingly worthless ones. In the words of my better half, I find one "diamond in the rough" for every three books I buy. No wonder our bookshelves easily get filled by second hand books, only a small percentage of which I actually get to finish.

Zombie Wars

I've seen very little Indie films in my lifetime, and maybe, for good reason: they are very weird. Here's another Indie film I've watched, out of boredom and frugality. It's a zombie flick (hence the title), set in an apocalyptic present-time when zombies and humans have been engaged in war for fifty years already. The narrator in the opening scene describes that zombies appeared from under the earth and started eating humans they could get their hands on. Those who managed to survive formed tiny groups of resistance against the zombies. From an early age, these humans train in fighting and live in military-like fashion, to equip themselves against the zombies.

The film focuses on a sort of platoon of humans, lead by a female general.

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

I've been making a conscious effort in reading classic novels, and for the longest time, waiting for when I'd finally get my hands on a copy of 1984 by George Orwell in a second-hand bookstore. No such luck, so far, but I managed to find A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess in a stall near the grocery.

I've never seen the film, but the novel was quite interesting. It tells of Alex, a teenager living in a presumably futuristic setting. At fifteen, he and his teen aged friends go around at night mugging people on the streets and generally being rascals.
