It's VD!

Ugh. Listening to Sade on the eve of VD. Bad idea. I recall reading a critic's commentary on her voice, something along the lines of "she sounds like she's coming off the world's greatest orgasm". That still makes me laugh, because it's so TRUE.

A word of advice, kiddies - if someone from a large chain calls you for a follow-up phone interview and asks you what you'd do if you caught a fellow employee stealing five dollars, NEVER say "bring it to the attention of management, warn the person, and it if happens again, terminate him/her". It doesn't matter if said chain brings in tens of thousands of dollars a day and five dollars would hardly represent a dent. Nor does it matter that maybe that employee might have a family to feed and could be desperate. Nope. What you SHOULD say is "the person should be taken to the media department, where his/her subsequent torture and painful death by means of DVDing [where the cheap $49.99 DVD players shall be thrown at him/her by the brawny guy from Car Audio named Mario until the infidel ceases to breathe] will be simucast on all TVs and PC monitors in the store". Because that's what they want to hear.

"The hypnotist "hypnotized" this girl who "kept forgetting her name", and my rocker dude date was like, "HOLY SHIT! SHE STILL CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME. FUCK!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA", and I was, like, "Ummm.. yeah..."

I know where you're coming from. The problem is always: if a person says they're hypnotized, they're hypnotized. There's always the "hypnotism" you see: the stage with the volunteers, and that which you don't; the audience lulled into a gullible state by a couple of half-baked demonstrations of "the power of suggestion" (your rocker friend obviously being more susceptible to this "state" than you - and which possibly says something about repeatedly subjecting oneself to the aural onslaught of bands playing with their amplifiers cranked all the way "up to eleven."
;-)...
I've even caught myself asking: if the volunteers on stage aren't hypnotized, just what the hell ARE they doing? (and yeah, my ears have done their fair share of bleeding over the years as well!!)

I guess the only thing I can't understand is how they can all keep such straight faces. I'm a giggler so I would be up there trying really hard not to, which would just make it harder and harder not to. Everyone up there is so straight faced. I couldn't do it.

So I guess this rocker dude already has a girlfriend and he showed up to a friend's party with hickeys all over his neck. Ummm.. He's 33 for goodness sake.

Not at heart, obviously.
