wherefore art thou, cell phone?

i forgot my cell phone today. i feel like i forgot...well, something really important like my cell phone. and, i am stuck at school all day finishing a paper and then three hours of class. which is all fine and good, except, that, i forgot my cell phone. i am not sure when or how i became so dependent, but apparently i am. i think it might be karma because yesterday i was teasing diana about having also forgotten hers at home. yep, this is definitly all my own fault.

i am at starbucks now, stealing the utoronto network for myself. okay: when did starbucks start charging for their internet? while in ottawa, i happily spent hours at bridgehead on their free network. i suppose there's no motivation for starbucks. toronto happily keeps afloat nine million of them, why would they care if people came to use their internet or not? but it makes me a little sad. the whole bright brilliant thing about wireless Internet was its inclusive nature. but, of course, capitalism wins. it always wins. i hate money.

one thing that i do like about starbucks, however, is the fact that i see the same people over and over. for instance, sitting beside me are two men. they are here always. to the point where i smile at them. to the point where i feel like if i was walking down the street i would say hi...and then realize embarrassingly that even though i recognize them it is not to the point where i get to say something. i used to do that on the bus sometimes. see people day after day on the commute, and then, see them in another context, and start to say something along the lines of "don't i know you?" when i realize that no, indeed, i don't know them. i just see them. and to say hi would simply demonstrate, that yes, i am a little off.

did i mention the badel stop inside the starbucks is serving clam chowder today? i love clam chowder. but it only takes cash. who only takes cash nowadays? does anyone even carry cash anymore? damn it! a girl deserves clam chowder after a morning of paper writing.

also, how do people feel about FIS t-shirts? seriously. robin posted this site for Librarian Gear. I am finding it pretty amusing. And you can personalize the shirts as well. I am thinking "FIS Class of 2007" Pretty creative and original eh? this is why i am not designing my own shirt...
