I’ve Been Noticed!

I woke up at 4am after falling asleep on the futon post-agadashi tofu, and spent 11 or so hours playing with *things* on the computer (most importantly xslt rocks!); when you dissolve into states such as the one I just mentioned, there is no way in hell you can tear yourself away from the computer until eating or peeing becomes such a pressing need that you are forced to deal.

I was forced to deal around 3:00pm this afternoon (hunger).

Ran down to Illegal Pete’s for a throw ‘em up, smack it down burrito and a beer. Plopped down outside at a table with a table-umbrella, whipped out McLuhan’s Understanding The Media (because it fits in my back pocket; older version of the book, not big pockets) and put Orbital: Blue Album (still) in my ears, thus creating a mobile bubble that keeps me semi-immune to the cavortings of people on Sunday.

And while I was sitting there, someone snuck up to the table and slipped a piece of paper under my ipod and snuck away just as quickly.

It did make me smile. It’s like Pleasantville. City of Heroes also makes me smile. It’s not like Pleasantville at all.
