That was pointless.

lance_sibleyI'm not sure what's funnier/more pathetic: a bunch of 20-somethings dancing to a song that came out before any of them was born and probably thinking that it's new, or the fact that I still know all the Beatles songs used in the "Stars On 45" medley... and in the correct order. I do wonder, however, what the DJ was smoking in order to play that particular song. (However, the fact that he played some PSB tonight absolves him.)
The drag queen performing as Jessica Rabbit was kind of funny, though. And damned good, even if she was a bit on the chunky side for authenticity.
Alas, I didn't bump into Rick, or any of his teammates tonight; either he lied to me last night, or they decided to go somewhere else, or they didn't go out at all. Whatever. Meh. I'm used to only having the bartenders talk to me when I go out.
Okay, that's not quite true. The guy who mistook my half-full beer cup for a tip jar and dropped a loonie in it talked to me to apologize profusely. The bartender gave me a free refill, though, so no harm, no foul. Alas, once I got the refill, the guy didn't stick around. Pity. I wouldn't have minded the company.
I just wish that bus drivers would make people move to the back of the bus... I had to wait for six buses before one deigned to stop despite all of them having room for more passengers. And watch two guys at the bus stop playing tonsil hockey the whole time. (Yeah, I could have moved to where I wouldn't be subjected to seeing what I can never have, but lose my spot at the front of the line? Are you crazy?) Okay, being forced to wait for an hour or so helped me to sober up, but I wasn't that drunk to begin with anyway - I usually have three pints when I go out, and tonight I had three and a half - but I got there an hour or so earlier than usual, knowing that there would be a line tonight, in order to make sure that I could get in by midnight to watch the countdown. (They were showing CITY's coverage, with Ed the Sock and Liana K.)
Would it kill the TTC to run the subway all night once or twice a year? They were already running it an hour later than usual tonight, though that still meant it closed before last call. New Year's Eve, Pride weekend and Caribana all strike me as times when having all-night subway service would have no trouble paying for itself. Since the system is on a holiday schedule tomorrow, I'm sure they would be able to close it at 6 for cleaning/maintenance if they really needed to - the vast majority of people who went out tonight would be home by then, and then they could re-open it at 9 like they do on normal Sunday and holiday mornings.
Yes, I'm bitchy. Deal.
