Listening, thinking, learning
2.16.2005 9:36 PM \| Link	Tonight was pretty eventful - after doing some video work and eating a sub (it's so great to eat half a sub for lunch, then come home to the other half waiting for me in the fridge!), I went shopping at three stores to get some additional party necessities, then I still had time for some cappuccino and reading at Barnes & Noble. This time I went to the Lakeline store, since I was already close by - it's not nearly as cool as the Arboretum store as far as the cafe is concerned (maybe because it's windowless in the back of the store), but I still had fun. I finished a magazine and another book, but the best entertainment was watching and eavesdropping on a bunch of Korean kids doing their calculus homework. They were all cool, sporting their iPods (which they listened to with one earphone so they could keep talking), chatting on their cellphones, and talking about the origins of language (one kid even told the Tower of Babel story). Today is the anniversary of my Uncle Glenn's passing away, and coincidentally, my boss' brother died this morning of some kind of heart trouble. Thinking about how fragile life is and watching the energy of young students gives me extra determination to enjoy life, which is definitely too short. I guess I'm just taking Lent to heart.
