I'm just sayin'.....
Nov. 3rd, 2003 04:44 pmI've been reading this packet sent to the Big Boss written by someone who's in not operating in this universe. He petitioned the supreme court to hear his case, was denied review, and then starts down this bizarre road of trying to get it heard that somehow involves writing to his state senator, Justice O'Connor, and Katie Couric. Yeah. Katie freakin' Couric.
Lest anyone think I'm committing a federal offense by reading mail not addressed to me, I was instructed to read through the materials by Big Boss.
The day has gone by fairly quickly -- showing up to work late does wonders for helping pass the time. So does thinking dirty thoughts. And reading bizarre pro se petitions to the 'highest court in land'.
I almost forgot about my favorite moment from last night. One of the cute queers dancing up a storm (and who had earlier requested the Milkshake song) came up to the booth. "Hey, I know it's not really in the same style but.....do you have any 80's music?"
"Nope. No 80's music. It's hip-hop night, so that's only what I brought....except, I do have some older 80's hip hop, if you want to hear something?"
"Hmmm, I'll think on that. Thanks."
Half an hour later, after her friends requests some Biggie, some OutKast, some reggae (all of which I was gladly able to accomodate), she's back by the booth.
"Hey, do you have any Erasure?"
It was really hard not to laugh. I blame the bad short-term memory on the numerous empty cans of beer in the booth.
There was also a moment when PG asked to hear a song and I said, "sure, no problem. Not the next song, but I'll play it the song after next."
Then she said, "hey!! I've used that line before while DJing! Don't use that line on me!!"
Though I never actually use it as a line -- I really mean I'll play it soon. My lines are much more vague like "hmmm, let me look and see if I have it then get back to you....." But mostly I don't use lines. I look people right in the eye and tell them that I don't have the song or that I can't play it (usually because I JUST played it, or because it wouldn't fit into the current vibe at all). Mostly because I hate it when DJs would try to appease me and I'd end up waiting around for my song like when you put a dollar in a jukebox in a bar and feel obligated to order another round of drinks just so you can get your money's worth.
Even though the weather's crappy and being slightly sleep-deprived, I'm really looking forward to going to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vfc's apartment for a geek night of Trivial Pursuit with her and thebrownhornet and limenal. Expect a gloating post from one of us tomorrow.
