Fight! Fight!

[wednes]

There was a fist fight about five feet from my desk today. This one punk teenager started talkin' smack to this other punk teenager, who wasn't tryin' to hear that...and then the first punk teenager threw a drink on the ground. So I, narc that I am, called security to break up the fight which had not actually began yet. But it would...

Punk Kid One connected with Punk Kid Two in the face a few times; and a bunch of people stood around watching and yelling but not actually doing anything to break up the fight. It was a pretty sad commentary. Kid Two did not appear to throw any punches at all. Then mall security arrived to make sure Kid Two was okay and to detain Kid One and his comrade. Police, ambulance and a fire truck was called. No arrests were made. According to Chick Cop on Scene, "if we arrested everyone who threw a punch, jails would be full". I can't help thinking that if the kid was smoking a joint, he'd have been cuffed and taken in pronto...

Anyway no one asked me what happened, even though I saw everything. So I thought I'd share with all of you.

Oh, and I left work early again, Yay!
Still apartment hunting. Drag!

Holy crap! What time was that? I punched out and wwent in to watch "28 Days Later," which was creepy-excellent!!! I don't know what kind of frames-per-second or some funky thing they did when the "infected" would attack, but it was an awesome way of making things feel rather strobey and disjointed. Sweet film. I wish I could have been there to see the commotion too, though...observer of humanity's worst that I, newsman Dan, am. You're so right about the punch-vs-pot thing though, and it makes no sense to me. Ya look at some of society's most productive citizens, Paul McCartney etc, and they are non-violent, and enjoy the smoking of the pot. Then these asses roam free while non-viloent recreationalists sit behind bars. Fucked up thing, ain't it?

'Tis.

I think the rain during the final attack scene is my fave thing about 28 Days Later. But there were many, many things to love about it.

and now...back to listening to polyphonic ring tones!
