I was able to upload a lot of music to the computer in the DJ booth at XTC, something I haven't gotten around to at Paalzio yet, so I've been stuck dancing to classic rock, Moby, and Garbage, my basic standbys when I don't have any of my own music with me. I need to correct that, especially if I have to work another shift like yesterday's, when I sorely missed having the amusement of dancing to something offbeat. Though truth be told, I don't really dance to anything that strange, at least not anymore. I remember bringing in Railroad Jerk, Pavement, the Flaming Lips and Big Black when I first began, and you know, I think I need to do that again. My taste in music has switched. I'm really picky now, something has to really push my buttons to make me a fan. Lately, of course, I've been enamored of British Sea Power, and I have danced to "Remember Me" a couple of times, but that's as far out as it gets these days.

It was thoroughly and completely dead yesterday; I guess the Easter holiday just sucked away all of the business. The club's closed during the day today so I may head in tonight to work, though I have to be up early tomorrow to sign up for my senior seminar. Got to make sure I get into Literature and Culture of the 1960s and don't get stuck with Postcolonial Writers. It's really starting to hit home; I will soon be a college graduate. Finally.

So, there were very few of us dancing yesterday, and equally few customers. I didn't make any money until the shift was almost over and thankfully pulled in enough to make it worthwhile, but just barely. Ick. I just wanted to get that day over and done with. The first five or so guys I talked to were all just completely annoying or rude, complaining about dance and drink prices, etc. Yeah, a Crown and Coke's $7.50. You don't come to a strip club for the cheap drinks. That's what bars without naked women are for.

Fortunately the last few guys I talked with or danced for were all very nice, much more pleasant, so at least I left work in a good mood. I also saw some more familiar faces and I look forward to seeing them at work tonight.
