The kind barista at Starbucks today asked me the following:

“Space in your redeye for cream?”

To which I responded: “I think this is the only social situation in which you can ask that question to someone you don’t know all that well.”

“Starbucks is an iconic brand that means something more than just a company. It’s become a sign of middle-class American modishness. To get a Starbucks in your neighborhood meant that you were validated, in some sense. For Starbucks to leave means that your part of town, in terms of social psychology, is downwardly mobile. That, I think, is what most rattles folks about losing their Starbucks, even if they rarely went there. It’s a status thing.”

“Relationships are like startups. If you join one because you think it will be successful, versus just joining one because its interesting, worthwhile, and its something you’re passionate about—regardless of its ultimate chance of success—then you shouldn’t be in one.”

Mess

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:18:40 -0400

one day, the garage door was almost broke down. J made it work for now. we are still waiting for the new one to be built and delivered and installed.

then, there was a leak in the A/C system, very small, but it’d been actually bleeding all the way from the attic to the ceiling and eventually dropped on the carpet—just two drops.

the other day, the modem and the router were attacked and crushed by a roar of a thunder about a week ago. I’d never heard a thunderclap like that before. one of our smoke alarms broke the silence of the house immediately, and the internet died unexpectedly within seconds. thank nature god I still have the light.

so, the whole house was a mess.
