had lunch with one of my co-workers yesterday. she and i have bonded at the work place, so to speak. i met her soon-to-be fiance last week at the brunch. they are a nice korean couple. and very religious.
took the 72 to the udistrict after work yesterday. well alrighty. went to radioshack to by one AAA battery and ended up leaving with $30 work of rechargable battery paraphenalia. funny thing: radioshack was playing bowling for columbine on all of their tvs. really. so the part where the showed some south park came on and the guy behind the counter said "i love south park." i said, yeah, its good, but this is part of bowling for columbine." "i've never seen it," he says. "you should," is said, "it's a great film." silence. "yeah, we didn't have cable when i was little, so i never watched the early episodes," he admits. STOP. i realized at that point that age of this kid. south started in fall of 1997. i was a senior in college and watched it religiously for a year. this guy couldn't have been older than 19 or 20. and he was manager at radioshack. kids these days.
went to the bookstore and picked up my copy of reefer madness that i put on hold last weekend. walked to whole foods and had a carmelita. damn, but it was gooood. if you've never had a carmelita, you are missing the point of life. i sat outside for an hour and read reefer madness - good book so far. by eric schlosser, the guy who wrote fast food nation. i hated reading fast food nation, but loved the book. investigative/current issue and events books are so much more interesting than ann coulter and her big fat loud mouth self.
had dinner with becs at sunlight cafe. it was akward at first, but got better after finishing a bottle of wine. awe yeah. she had the portabello burger and i had the enchilladas. of course, due to my stomach, i only had two bites and i was full.
afterwards, we went to starbux, had a couple of chai teas, talked and i walked her home. i'm supposed to see her sunday evening.
i got home and talked to jason romero again. we were on the phone for 1.5 hours last night and it was fun. i haven't really used instant messaging since i was at dell the first time (geezus. five years ago). i knew how immersive technology was getting, but i hadn't experienced talking, typing and listening.
woke up and i'm a little dizzy. feels like i'm developing an ear infuktion.

I had a similar experience in Best Buy...this 80s song came on and it was a great one...the guy at the check out said, "I don't know why they play this old music...no one has ever heard of it." ....or something along those lines...I said, "this isn't old" and he said, "you've got a kid so you must be old...well if it makes you feel any better my dad is 40." I said, "geez I'm only 26!" I was 26 at the time...I felt so old...and unnecessairly so I thought... little brat! The 80s weren't that long ago!
isn't it a strange transition into adulthood? america is weird about aging. damn culture of youth.
