I'm in my second office–pick a Starbucks, any Starbucks–and post meeting I decide to wait out the storm of LA traffic, buoyed by another soy latte, on an island of a strip mall in, like, totally the Valley? Es esmu savā otrajā biroja paņemt Starbucks, visas Starbucks un pēc tikšanās man izlemt, jāgaida no vētras LA satiksmes, Ņemot vērā Ķīnas citas sojas latte, uz salas sloksnes centrs, kas, tāpat kā pilnīgi Valley?
I float to the cashier. Es peldēt uz kasieris. “I'll have a sugar-free caramel, iced soy latte. "Man būs bez cukura karameles, ledus sojas latte. Extra shot of gay.” Extra shot geju. "
The cashier looks at me, polite. Kasieris skatās uz mani, pieklājīgs. “Anything else?” "Anything else?"
I survey the rows of pastries, against my will, and see the cookie I've been desert island-hungry for since my red tide rolled in days ago. Es aptauja par konditorejas rindas, pret savu gribu, un redzēt sīkdatne Esmu bijis tuksnesis salas izsalkuši, jo mana sarkanā jūra velmēta dienās atpakaļ. “I'll take a chocolate chip cookie, please.” He drops one into a bag, and the cookie's little weighted noise sounds like the future echo of me hitting a bathroom scale. "Es ņemšu chocolate chip cookie, lūdzu." Viņš pilieniem vienu vērā maisā, un sīkdatnes ir maz svērtais trokšņa skaņas, piemēram, nākotnes atstarojas man hitting vannas istaba mērogā. “I shouldn't have one because I want to get crack whore-thin, but I'll just throw up the cookie in the restroom later.” "Es nebūtu viens, jo es vēlos saņemt kreka mauka plānas, bet es ņemšu tikai uzmest sīkdatni tualete vēlāk."
His eyebrows raise into a question mark: his brows the curve, his pinched mouth the dot. Viņa uzacis rada vērā jautājuma zīmi: uzacis līkne, viņa satvertu muti dot.
“Times like these we can't waste a minute being unrealistic,” I say. "Times, piemēram, šo mēs nevaram atkritumi minūtes bijuši reāli," es saku. “Also, I'm trying to get wireless internet in here for an SOS back to LA, but it's a pain in my never-done-yoga-in-my-life ass. "Arī es cenšos iegūt bezvadu internets šeit SOS atpakaļ uz LA, bet tas sāp nekad izceptu-joga-in-my-dzīve ass. What am I doing wrong?” Ko man darīt nepareizi? "
“I can give you a brochure.” He reaches for a life jacket-yellow pamphlet that someone's already tossed at me. "Es varu jums brošūru." Viņš pasniedzas veste dzeltena bukletu, ka kāds jau tossed uz mani.
“It's like you're throwing me a brick as a life saver–not helpful,” I say. "Tas ir tāpat kā jūs mešana man ķieģeli, kā dzīvības taupīšana, nav lietderīgi," es saku. “Should I just throw my computer against the wall? "Ja es vienkārši mest savu datoru pret sienu? Will that fix it?” Vai, ka salabot?
He finally cracks, a little smile. Viņš beidzot plaisas, nedaudz smaidu. “Here's your receipt.” "Šeit ir jūsu saņemšanas."

The wireless in ATL Starbucks(es) is so bad I bought an espresso machine for my kitchen. Bezvadu ATL Starbucks (es) ir tik slikti, es nopirku espresso aparātu manu virtuvi. One would think the pricey thing would keep me away from spending $10+ a day there. Varētu domāt pricey lieta saglabātos mani prom no izdevumiem 10 $ + diena tur.
Not true. Nav taisnība.
I just leave the apartment, sit my ass in traffic to get one, buy the drug, sit in traffic on the way home, and drink half the thing before I make it back to laptop. Es vienkārši atstāt dzīvokli, sēdēt my ass satiksmē, lai iegūtu vienu, nopirkt zāles, sēdēt satiksmē uz mājām, un dzert puse lieta pirms es drīkstu to atpakaļ uz klēpjdatora.
Cities like yours and mine will be better off when teleportation becomes an option, don't you think? Pilsētās, piemēram, jūsu un mans būs labāk, kad teleportation kļūst iespēja, vai ne?
I think I'll move to New York before that becomes available. Es domāju, ka es pāreju uz Ņujorku pirms tam kļūst pieejams.
