music: SADS - Feeling High & Satisfied



Yesterday was a pretty interesting day, and I don't have too many of those. That morning, I had taken the dog out for a walk, as usual, but I was pretty damn tired. I tend to dispose his droppings in a plastic bag and I'd toss them in a dumpster outside of a bar on Mifflin. It was chained up really tight, which was pretty rare (at least at the times I've used it), but there was a space to throw the bag in. So I did. Then I felt horrible like I did something wrong. I mean, obviously these people did not want people throwing their trash in their bin, but I did it anyway. I wasn't thinking. I just have a really strong conscience, I guess. Weird because I don't really consider myself a nice, friendly person. Just very introverted, antisocial, and a loner.



Nothing fascinating at lunch break. It was late 80s when I went out. I hit the bank and decided to try out Quizno's which was close by. Now I've had jobs where I'd horse around with the other employees, but seeing it happen in front of me, where I was the only customer, made me feel realllly uncomfortable. I wanted them to shut up and act professional. Funny the manager was standing there, but he's one of those laidback ones where if I told them how I felt about them having fun and talking loudly while I waited for my food was annoying me, I'd be the bitch. I should write to Quizno's corporate or something. BTW, the Black Angus sandwich was terrific.



Last night I worked 6-close (around 12:30AM) at the Ritz as the doorperson. A family walked in sporting Otakon shirts, one of which was for 2004 and I was like 'OMG I went there to see L'arc~en~Ciel!' and they were like 'Yeah, we work for Otakon' and I find out that one of the guys was the announcer for the concert! That was pretty neat. Unfortunately, they didn't tell me about the next musical guest :(



Finally, a group of people walked in, one wearing a shirt that said 'Got DeCSS?' and this is what happened:



Me: Can I ask you about your shirt?

Guy: Yes (looking down at his ticket and stuff)

Me: Isn't that what they use to break DVD encryption? (I said something to that effect, I have the worst memory)

Guy: Yes! You're the first person to know that!



I felt a surge of pride after that and congratulated myself on a fine display of 1337 hax0r knowledge (haha or not). I do remember reading about that Norwegian teenager who came up with DeCSS. One of the rare times I actually remember something.


Played with Max until about 2-2:30AM and then went to sleep, he slept at the foot of my bed. That was my Tuesday. It was swell.
