HAIKU, WHERE ARE YOU? (3/31/05)

I am sitting here, eating my ½ off M&Ms. They were half off because they are the “Easter” versions of M&Ms. They are pastel and some of them even have bunny ears printed on them. It seems to me that even though they are seasonal in motif, they taste exactly the same as regularly priced M&Ms. I wonder if M&Ms go bad.

--------------------------------------------------------
Why is there an Easter Bunny? And why are chocolate bunnies, marshmallow chicks and hunting eggs part of the tradition? I hope it’s based on pagan rituals. Or aliens.

--------------------------------------------------------
And I am watching Will & Grace, even though it sucks.

--------------------------------------------------------
I am in the middle of jury duty. Today was the first day and I almost got chosen for a trial. I think my diversionary tactics worked. I didn’t look at the attorneys while they were talking. I stared at my fingernails a lot and I closed my eyes, feigning sleep while they were talking too. I did answer their questions honestly though.
So after seven hours of sitting on my ass, I got to leave. And tomorrow, I get to do it again!
There are only two good things about jury duty in NYC: (1) I got to see Sam Waterson and his fellow actors taping a scene for Law & Order. They were filming right outside the court house I reported to this morning. (2) Chinatown is right next door. Today I had Shanghai noodles. Tomorrow, Vietnamese Pho.

--------------------------------------------------------
yes, I said the deadline for haikus was March 31, 2005. Well, I am extending it to April 15, 2005. Please send all haikus to:

I can’t write and watch tv at the same time.
