This is a snippet of an IM conversation about expensive guacamole I just had a moment ago:
Kate: you should come over, im making kick ass guacamole
Alfonso: sweet, I’ll hop on a red eye and be there in three hours your time
Kate: awesome. sounds like a plan.
Alfonso: sweet, it’s gonna be the priciest guac ever!

Overheard: The Contagiousness of Cancer
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008
I work remotely, and often find myself working from Starbucks. Normally, I’ve got my Zune pumping (thank you noise-canceling headphones), but today, I was enjoying the Eighties mix the store had going. That was, until the sound was drowned out by the endless chattering of two soccer moms perched right next to where I was sitting. It was all worth it, for the most ignorant thing I’ve heard in a long time.
Soccer Mom #1: “blah blah blah we visited so-and-so who is getting chemo”
Soccer Mom #2: “Oh, I’m worried about visiting (so-and-so). I’m worried I might get cancer”
Soccer Mom #1: [WTF expression]
Soccer Mom #1: “Cancer is a growth in your body. It’s not contagious!”
[Hearing someone worry about catching cancer as one catches a cold was hilarious enough, but this lady wasn't done yet.]
Soccer Mom #2: “…well, I heard they have people with AIDS there too. I don’t want to get AIDS!”

Apparently, Europeans Are Boring
Sunday, July 24th, 2005
The other evening, I was sitting at Borders, and I couldn’t help but listen to a conversation between two girls at the counter:
Girl 2: “He’s European”
Girl 1: “Oh? {interest piqued} How’s that turning out?”
Girl 2: “Well, actually… he’s kind of boring. Like, the other night, I asked him where we should go out tonight, and he shrugged and said ‘I don’t know, let’s just stay in’.”
Girl 1: “Oh.” {mild disgust}
Apparently, Europeans are boring by American standards. I despise “clubbing” and I’d rather stay in or “chill” than wander around trying to find someplace to go simply for the sake of going out. Sounds like Europeans are my kind of people.
