Jay McGavren's Journal

It is with great glee that I watch the demise of Tower Records, because I can almost see the RIAA crumbling with it.

And it’s all the sweeter because at 50% off, their prices are almost reasonable. I picked up some Quantic and Cinematic Orchestra that I would otherwise never get without paying Amazon shipping.

Just ran into my boss in the hall, and toward the end of the conversation, I realized I had been fidgeting with my wedding ring throughout. I guess this is better than my previous habit of stroking my (then) new beard, or the habit before that of patting my (then) new beer gut. Next I suppose Diana will convince me to get a nose job (not really), and I won’t be able to stop fiddling with that.

Went to Death Cab for Cutie on Saturday, and it kinda restored my faith in humanity. This was a huge crowd, comprised of mostly twentysomethings, and yet the asshole quotient was the lowest I’ve seen since Japan. You could tell it just by looking around, and listening to how people were talking. Even though we were outdoors, the guy next to us asked our permission before lighting a cigarette. There were drinks, but no drunken hollering.

Guess it’s just not the kind of music that assholes like to listen to.

Unit testing my new hotel updater. The first recreational facility at my test property? Air conditioning. Guess there are still bugs to work out. :)
