Coffee is the one thing that gathers people from all walks of life while simultaneously keeping them completely isolated from one another.

Field research and observation
A homeless man reads his newspaper with a magnifying glass while the teen with her Tiffany’s bracelet sips on her frappucino texting at 76 words per minute as the two politics professors get lost in what went wrong in Vietnam. All within 8 feet of one another.

Starbucks people watching is my third favorite public activity. Two middle aged men, a table away, discuss the Johnson administration over their Venti dark roasts. They throw around phrases like Great Society, economic opportunity, and Hubert Humphrey. Some digression and emphatic hand gestures over a mention of military commands and access of services. Amazing what some coffee, a fancy watch, and politics discussion will do for your perceived level of sophistication.

TV director for a golf tournament in which Tiger Woods is playing.

Cut one: Tiger is hitting. Put Tiger on!
Cut two: Tiger is waiting to hit. Put Tiger on!
Cut three: Tiger is waiting to putt. Put Tiger on, and talk about Tiger.
Cut four: Put up interview of another player; ask about Tiger.
Cut five: There’s a lull in the action. Cut to Lindsey Vonn with Tiger!

If Tiger Woods is leading, take those five rules and square them.

It’s taken me approximately a week to realize I can watch Hulu and Netflix on my laptop because I am no longer in Vermont therefore high speed Internet once again exists and my inner media nerd self is slightly confused but also fist bumping in self controlled joyous approval due to finally being able to catch up on important shows like Nashville and Mindy Project, you know, *mature television for forward thinking minds all about social change and world peace and saving endangered species and stuff.

The only source of comfort that I find sufficient for my current state is to crack my toe constantly for the next indefinite length of time.
