I have no idea what I wanted to do today and Dilworth Coffee

slack

I find myself sitting at Dilworth Coffee having a nice cup of tea on this wet gray day.  I did a little work around the house but nothing major.  I have no idea what I’m going to do later on.  I thought if I came up here I might find the energy to write something for do some work on my site.  I found I played with my mouse settings.  Then I looked at few other domains I had always had hope of doing something with and never have.  So I’m sitting here writing about nothing.  Shelton is getting out of work in an hour of so and i thought I might run to Borders to pick up the DVD of This American Life.  I didn’t have any idea they were doing a tv show.  I found out by reading my email and there was a coupon for borders and a link to an interview.  So I guess that advertising worked well.

Something else that struck my was a story on NPR this morning about how people who were shown the Apple logo where more creative than those who where exposed to the IBM logo.  So half testing that theory (or at very least my interpretation of it)  I’m sitting here with my sexy Sony laptop.  Just looking around it kicks the shit out of any of the other laptops set up around this place.  The couple at the big table with there matching bright silver HP or Dells have split.  The chick sitting across the way from me just got a telephone call here.  Not on her cell phone, but someone called her on the store phone and they walked it out to her.  That just struck me as a little odd.  Before I get totally off on a tangent she has not even taken here laptop out of the case.  She has it half in and half out, like the laptop equivalence of taking a piss at a urinal just unzipped.  (not sure that analogy works for anyone other than me).  My laptop no ultra mobile personal computer runs rings around her HP.

An older couple came in and sat next to me.  They are discussing the logistics of some type of walk or porch construction.  It’s no like I really want to sit here and ease drop on their conversation I just can’t help it. Enter another couple—what is it the early bird special at the coffee shop. 

I came to this place over the bigger more well know shops because I felt sure I could get free internet and I could find a table with a plug.  I did get both of those things.  However no one has looked my direction or said a word.  It’s quiet and smells sweet just is blahh. 

The chick with the HP just snagged a juice out of the cooler.  I wonder if she is going to pay for it.  This is not the type of place where people shoplift.  The older couple after debating on who’s watch had the correct time have decided to take off.  She drapes on a green jacket.  He rather than taking the easy path around squeezes between me and the table behind me and me.  Either way he brushes by and bumps into me.  Four people in the whole place and he can’t get by without pressing up against me. I wonder if he knew I was sitting here writing about them.

Oh well who knows who cares. 

Quick updated—Just got a comment from Babs on an earlier post.  I love that.  You the best !
