absorbing the video

2004.03.01 21.55

I'm encoding my video from Mardi Gras as I type this. I'm only on tape number three out of a total of five. Inquiries about the tapes (for their aesthetic value) have persisted, so I've got to get on with turning them into DVDs. My camera claims to have anti-jiggle software built in. I have my doubts as there seemed to be an awful lot of jiggling going on. Yes, that's as funny as I can get right now.

I ended up working 14 hours on Friday in a row which may sound impressive, except for the fact that I only worked two the day before and had to make them up. I didn't do much on Friday after working so late. Saturday night I saw Jon Stewart at the Tower Theater on 69th and Ludlow. He was awesome. Topics covered included The Passion of the Christ (he was glad they were specific that this was about ''The'' Christ as opposed to, say, Bob Christ). Funny story about his dog's short term memory problems. Lots of political coverage. I was in the third row from the stage. The two seats in the row in front of me were empty the entire time. Not too shabby! After the show I went out and met up with some friends and we hit two bars. Sucked. Not the bars -- the people we met. I'm suspecting that the majority of people who troll the bars aren't the smartest pickles in the barrel. Is that my ego speaking for me? Why, yes it is. I need to find out where the smart people hang out. I'm worried that they're all playing a MMORPGs and speaking in EQ slang. Maybe if they had a bar where you had to display your I.Q. on an I.D. card. I took an I.Q. test (which really was just this spam advertisement) and got a 132. Does that mean I'm smart? I dunno.

I propose a ban on any commercial that uses the sounds from AOL Instant Messenger. Like Pavlov's dog I'm trained to look in the lower right-hand corner of my computer to see who's chatting with me. Forget about Janet Jackson's bodily appendages -- let's ban those sound effects.

I have an online dating profile that's had extremely limited success for me. I've met one girl from on there. She was nice but ultimately not compatible. I'm sick of my profile, however, and I've decided to create the most super geekiest profile I could ever hope to invent. I'll report back on my findings in this latest super genius social experiment. What was my last social experiment? I bet a buddy of mine that I could get past the security dude guarding the private party at the club we were in on Saturday night. Took me three minutes.
