i don't need no stinkin' narration
tonight as i browsed in barnes & noble, i had a craving for a decaf mocha. the decaf defeats the purpose of the espresso, i know. then again it's $tarbuck$ e$pre$$o & thusly not the real stuff anyhow. yet i digress from the point of my original story (not $tory) which is to say: i honestly don't need a narration of what you're doing at that very moment. true, i might -- scratch that, i do -- much enjoy details, i do not enjoy detail$.
as i'm waiting for the teenybopper to make my decaf mocha with a $hot of hazelnut, i have to hear her narration for what she's doing. "i'm putting the espresso into the machine". "i'm steaming the milk." "i'm putting the shot of hazelnut into the cup." seriously. she was saying it out loud as if she were talking to someone, certainly not me, though. at least i hope. it never fails that randoms talk to me for no apparent reason.
since i'm complaining, might as well go for the gusto, eh?
embarrassing moment of the day: my work computer has now somehow been infiltrated with the dreaded pop-ups. ads for dating services; ads for free x-boxes; ads for cheap mortgage rates. apparently today i was choice fodder for some sexual enhancement ad. which chose to surface as my back is turned to my computer. and my boss is talking to me. i thought he had a strange look on his face. i knew why when i turned back to my computer to see some huge, pink banner ad for the female equivalent to viagra. nice.
say it ain't so.
speaking of "say it ain't so", eventually it could be problematic to use lyrics (even weezer lyrics) in things like blogs, i would imagine. according to this wired article, wilco got sued & lost for using some questionably copyrighted looped materials for their yankee hotel foxtrot album. it might be a stretch to say it could be illegal to use them now, but since my legal mind works overtime, i imagine it won't be long until some idiot somewhere gets sued for using an artist's lyrics in their blog. i'm actually surprised it hasn't happened until now.
so in keeping with the spirit of these last two paragraphs & thumbing my nose at the supposed powers-that-be, i will close by saying:
i am done with perfection. but don't let go. it's time i got back to the good old life. on an island in the sun, we'll be playing & having fun.
yeah, take that.
