watch 'reign over me'. i think it's the best 9-11 movie cuz it's not entirely about 9-11. it's a really good movie, i liked it a lot. hey you know what's awesome about chatting online? you're allowed long awkward pauses. well, they're not awkward, but if i was talking on the phone and there came a pause where i just ran out of things to say, it would be awkward. i have awkward phone moments with everybody- including my mom. the only time i sound normal on the phone is when i need something. but other than that, i sound like an idiot on the phone. there's a lot of elongated "yeeeaaahhh"s and "oookaaay"s. when you're online and there's a long pause, it's not really awkward cuz you can just pretend like you walked away from your computer...the other person will never know. but on the phone, i kind of feel pauses waste money cuz of the cell phone minutes, peak hours, and all that. it's like being dropped off at your apartment in a cab and just sitting there for an extra 2 minutes while the meter is running. "are all these improvements in communication really helping us communicate?" on a largely unrelated note, they tore down the kelly's coffee by my work. i kind of feel bad, cuz i used to go there all the time. so much that i knew the people that worked there. there was this really cool asian guy that would play depeche mode and new order on weekend nights, and it was a cool place to hang out cuz the couches there were so comfy. but then i started going to starbucks- which is across the street from kelly's and the workers there started giving me free drinks. i believe had i not been bribed by starbucks to come on their side, kelly's would have been able to pay their rent with the $4 i would have spent on an iced mocha everyday- they were freaking good. it's being replaced by some french crepe making place- which i'm totally stoked about, but then it's gonna be like eating crepes filled with a warm gooey guilt center...at least they'll be delicious. crepes and free coffee from starby's... |
