Spectator Sport

So I was on my way home earlier on, and I whipped out my DS for some Tetris. I started playing the normal marathon mode, and then at I think it was Ang Mo Kio or Yio Chu Kang, some girl who boarded that stop was standing in front of me. I was looking down into my handheld, and then from the corner of my eye I saw her looking as well.

And now I'm technically performing. I'm playing, but now I also have a spectator. She would stare at it for a while, cocking her head a couple of times in reaction to some of the things I did and then would look away when she had to move for people getting off and stuff.

I was also listening to music on my handphone at the same time, and around when Motorhead's Ace of Spades came on I started messing up. I missed a couple of blocks, reacted too slowly to new ones. So I was about a third filled when a seat opens up and she sits down.

Buckethead's Jordan started playing and all of a sudden I was clearing house. My screen cleared up by the time I reached Woodlands, but my new fan was already on another channel.

Attention's a hell of a drug.
