Not That Innocent
February 27, 2008In - what is easily one of the most surreal moments I’ve had in an already surreal two weeks - I find myself stealing WiFi access in a most unusual place. I’m outside of the “Bounce-A-Rama” in Eureka, CA on an unsecured WAP. The mall is almost deserted during the day, apparently, and certainly there are almost no children inside the inflatable play area.
That said, the poor bastard standing guard over the slides and such is being subjected to a grueling torture - kiddie versions of pop songs. So far I’ve heard a children’s choir singing hits from the 70s and 80s, as well as artists like Hoobastank, Cher, REM and now (of course) Brittany Spears.
I’m sitting on an uncomfortable bench wearing grooves in my ass while violating a Terms of Service contract, but I still think I’m having a better time working than that guy.
