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?我在我的第二个办事处-匹克星巴克,有星巴克和会后的会议上,我决定要等到风暴中走出来的香格里拉交通提振,由另一酱油后者,对一个岛屿的条形商场,就像是完全山谷?
I float to the cashier. i飘落到出纳员。 “I’ll have a sugar-free caramel, iced soy latte. "我将有一个无糖型焦糖,冰镇豆奶后者。 Extra shot of gay.”课外开枪的同性恋" 。
The cashier looks at me, polite.出纳来看我,有礼貌。 “Anything else?” "有什么关系,否则" ?
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. i调查一排排的糕点,对我的意志,并查看曲奇我一直在荒岛-饿,因为我的红潮轧在两天前。 “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. "我将采取巧克力片饼干,请" ,他降一成一包,以及cookie的小加权噪声听起来像是未来的回声,我击中一间浴室的规模。 “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.” "我不应该有一个,因为我想获得裂纹婊子薄,但是,我可以只丢了曲奇,在上厕所后" 。
His eyebrows raise into a question mark: his brows the curve, his pinched mouth the dot.他的眉毛,提高到了一个问号:他的眉型的曲线,他的拼挤唱斑点。
“Times like these we can’t waste a minute being unrealistic,” I say. "时代一样,这些我们不能浪费一分钟被不现实的, "我说。 “Also, I’m trying to get wireless internet in here for an SOS back to LA, but it’sa pain in my never-done-yoga-in-my-life ass. "同时,我试图让无线互联网在这里的SOS回香格里拉,但它的痛,我永远做-瑜珈在我的生活中驴。 What am I doing wrong?”什么我现在的工作做得不对" ?
“I can give you a brochure.” He reaches for a life jacket-yellow pamphlet that someone’s already tossed at me. "我可以给你一本小册子, "他达到了救生衣黄色的小册子,有人已经扔给我。
“It’s like you’re throwing me a brick as a life saver–not helpful,” I say. "这就像你扔我砖头作为一个终身程式没有任何帮助, "我说。 “Should I just throw my computer against the wall? "我只是扔我的电脑撞在墙上? Will that fix it?”将修复" ?
He finally cracks, a little smile.他终于出现裂缝,一点笑容。 “Here’s your receipt.” "这里的你的收据" 。

The wireless in ATL Starbucks(es) is so bad I bought an espresso machine for my kitchen.无线在ATL的星巴克(安老服务) ,是那么差,我买了一个咖啡机,为我的厨房。 One would think the pricey thing would keep me away from spending $10+ a day there.有人会觉得贵的东西,将让我远离消费10元+一天。
Not true.并非如此。
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.我只是离开公寓时,坐在我的驴,在交通要送一,买毒品,静坐,在交通上回家的路上,和喝一半的东西在我这回笔记本电脑。
Cities like yours and mine will be better off when teleportation becomes an option, don’t you think?城市像我和你会更好过当隐形成为一种选择,你不觉得吗?
I think I’ll move to New York before that becomes available.我想可以搬到纽约之前可用。
