a while ago: i went into a lift after work and kept pressing the button but the lift won't move. i kept pressing and pressing until someone else walks in and asked me why i kept pressing the button for floor i'm on as opposed to ground floor.

brandead and trippy from staring at a computer and concentrating REALLY HARD for 5 hours, walked downstairs to get some air, remembered to push the button that lets you open the door, then spent a good 30 seconds pulling at the handle wondering why it wouldn't let me out and futilely jabbing at the button, staring right through the lettering at eye height that says "PUSH".

Yesterday morning I was looking everywhere for a particular belt to wear with my jeans but couldn't find it. Eventually I resigned myself to wearing a different one and when I tried to put it on I realised I was already wearing the belt I was looking for.

I'm not a morning person.

press play. no music. song on other deck rapidly running out. getting quieter. press pause and then play again. it's coming though the cans, why aren't the speakers working?

silence. room full of people. promoter: "charlie, what the fuck?" connection's gone on this shitty new cd deck (it was both new and shitty), says i. "oh crap, i'll get the sound guy"

sound guy (lovely chap): "what's up?" connection's gone on this shitty new cd deck. sound guy on his knees fiddling with wires under the table. still silence. fucking embarrassing. give gallic shrug to room.

then notice crossfade (which i never use), and my headphone wire which had pushed it all the way to one side.

feel very fucking silly. (and it's not like it's the first time!)

And you're already the 4th Charlie they built! :-/

Monday: putting on bands. Didn't worry about headlining band having mislaid drum stands as support band would bring full kit with them and all would be well. Phone support band, am informed that they won't be able to help as they use a drum machine, which I'd failed to realise despite knowing them and listening to their songs.

I punched myself in the face a few times and it felt better, plus it was OK in the end

The other night in a music quiz. Put down 'Phil Lynnot' instead of 'Boomtown Rats'. Almost vomitted in disgust when they read the answer out.

I said my family had a kingfisher that lived in their garden. It was some other bird; everyone had a lot of fun at my expense mocking how a kingfisher would treat my family.

was he quoting news articles and dailykos posts all the time?

Charlie that used to happen me a bit, I never use the crossfader, just volume up and down. Really funny especially when you're beatmatching and you've got two records mixed nicely and you're like eq'ing it in and you look up and nobody is responding at all, then you realise.

I had a problem the other week with my mp3 player being silent. Checked that I hadn't accidentally paused it, checked the jack plug, checked the volume, etc. Nothing :(

Then I noticed the earbuds dangling around my neck.

I teach a class at NYU that happens to have 22 enrolled students. Rather than call names / check off who's there, I counted heads...20 students. I started class. "morning everyone, hope you had a nice weekend. before i start, could the two people not here today raise their hands...". Half blank stares, half smirks, as if I was vaguely humorous. Not intended.
