work lasted nearly forever today (relatively)...didn't get out 'til nearly 6:30...i was all worried i was gonna miss The Simpsons...then after the rush home, arriving just in time, i find it's a re-run anyway...but going through screening on the way out, i was stopped by the security for the cd player in my backpack...it seems we're not "authorized" to bring those anymore...i'm going to try talking to someone and if this is the case, i'm quitting...it's just not fucking worth it if i can't listen to cds...the job's kindv'e an annoyance anyway...and i've been contemplating quitting for a good while...(not counting a few years ago when i started to quit, but the said i could cut back my hours...which i did...) but i've been working there for over 3 and a half years now...and it's a nice little source of income, and it's steady (however small) and reliable that it'll be there...but it would just be torture not being able to listen to cds...definately not worth the strain on my hands and inconvenience of the whole thing...so i'm most likely quitting...it's weird when i think about it, but oh well...

stupid story: the other night at Jillian's (the free night of the other post) the game was playing on the tv's at the bar (the game being the Grizzlies vs the Lakers...) i don't care about sports, but this was amusing 'cuz the Grizzlies (Memphis' new shitty team, the worst team in the NBA) beat the Lakers (ummm...the champions or something...) i always enjoy it when something like that happens...that's all...and we were less than a mile from the place too...at the show later, looking out from the loft's window, we saw some guy stopped at a crosswalk wearing a Lakers shirt...we laughed at him...then he took his coat off to take the shirt off (it wasn't the only shirt he was wearing...) but it was funny seeing someone realize their humiliation just as we're laughing about it...

on ebay yesterday i won something super cool: Pearl Syncussion SY-1...a drum synth:

there's scant information on it...seems pretty rare...but it seems super cool...it does more than just percussive sounds too...and of course, can be controlled by stuff other than the pads as well...so it's pretty versetile...and not too expensive...once we get the shipping resolved...(the guy's in england and his original shipping estimate was more than half of what i paid for the synth...i pointed him to FedEx and hopefully arm and leg can be spared...)

You guys got the shittiest team in the NBA, but Canada ain't got no love for American sports anyway (generally). I guess my neighbors to the north didn't dig on the whole b-ball thing.

Do they actually have grizzly bears in Tennessee?

grizzlies in TN
