August 14, 2005Starbuuuucks!!!It's so strange how technology has pervaded every little bit of our lives. I had lunch with Kevin today on Argyle street. Fantastic Vietnamese pho, which is absolutely impossible to make on your own, but served in less than five minutes at a proper Vietnamese restaurant. We hit a couple of grocery stores after that, Kev was looking for mangos, I was looking for ginger. Kev is a friend from CollectiblesToday, my former job, in love with a Chinese-Thai woman who is in the States earning her MBA, but who has retained her sense of self, her sense of culture. (She persists in mocking him though.) *First phone call* Kevin shows up at the meeting point 20 minutes later, Nah's first question, "Why didn't you get me anything?" Cell phone reception was so bad, Kevin was in the doghouse even before he had a chance to buy a new phone. "Can you hear me now?" Whatever.
