Cafe morning report
Feb. 9th, 2004 11:57 amCommentary post-hack: This entry refers to the internet cafe I used to camp out in when I didn't have home internet, not to The Cafe, another name for my journal.
There's a man in the cafe who looks exactly like Nero. Yeah, THAT Nero. The statues, anyhow.
He's sitting in the corner reading a newspaper and I'm scared he's going to invade. He will feed his legions on lattes and brownies!
There are also three study-groups, one guy waiting for a study group, and one guy who I'm pretty sure is stoned, as he's slouched in his chair with milk foam on his lips, wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt, and staring vacantly into space.
There's a fourth study group composed of a man and a woman, and the man just used a total line of "My laptop can't get onto the network -- let's just go to my place where I have DSL." And she took him up on it!
And there are five to eight old people having an OldPeopleCon at the couches. (OldPeopleCon 04! The theme this year is Not Dead Yet!)
And me! In the Prized Comfy Corner Chair.
