Dude, I am such a dork. I have been... how you say GLUED to the tv watching Michael's SUV ( I keep wanting to type SVU as in Law and Order SVU...but I mean the car, not the awesome television show) drive to the courthouse for the past 45 minutes.

3:52
All of the Jackson family is entering the courhouse right now...Michael looks skinny and scared. I am eating vanilla yogurt and banana granola. No pjs for Michael.

3:53
They are all in the courtroom. The media is locked out. OH THE SUSPENSE! Did you know that the jury had to make 21 decisions on all charges? It is true.

3:56
There are soooo many people. Who are these Michael Jackson fans? They are flying these awesome flags with Michael's face screened onto them. Several are praying and looking tense with tears. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE???

The jury has just walked into the courtroom.

The jury has just sat down

Media people are scrambling for things to talk about...have fallen victim to using 9th grade english metaphors and similes...like a cat in the rain! cut the air with a knife! etc. etc.

some middle aged woman in green outside the courtroom is letting doves free and clutching her heart. She brought a huge cage of doves with her. I don't even know what else to say about that.
