Staying Dry in Starbucks

yep, sorry Joe, Oleput, and all the other indie coffee houses I love, and love to support. It's pouring out, and I can pick up the free Union Square wifi in this here Starbucks. for the low low price of $7.61, I've sold out (and bought an overpriced, but still tasty, chicken curry salad).

however, I have a few interesting things to note:
1- on Tuesday I went for a run in Astoria Park (oh! how I love thee!) and witnessed a movie being filmed on the playground. according to Raymond, the park employee I made friends with, it involved Lisa Ling and a very tasty breakfast (that apparently, some other joggers who awoke earlier than I were fortunate enough to enjoy). Funnily, not more than a moment before coming upon the mass of film crew vehicles, I was in the process of looking for an inconspicuous bush to puke my brains out- I am way out of shape. Thank god I decided to hold it in.

2- yesterday nothing good happened until I went to Rodeo Bar w. Carrie, Keaton, and Carolina to see M Shanghai. Which was an awesome show, especially since they played my favorite song RIGHT WHEN I WANTED THEM TO. I knew it! I am getting uncannily good at predicting (or rather, "visualizing") songs and subway trains, and am hoping one day this talent for positive attraction will carry over to healing my shoulder injury (which is pissing me off more than ever right now) and reconnecting with the long lost love of my life.

3- while I was posting something on Etsy here in the Starbucks, two girls from New York Magazine approached me regarding a short article they are doing on people who write on their computers in Starbucks. They asked me to quote the first sentence of what I was writing, which luckily was "One of a kind, hand silk-screened long sleeve black t-shirt." Pretty good marketing for the old B.Sharpe Designs if it actually makes it into the mag, no? I will shit my pants if my quote gets quoted. Last time I gave quotes (for a piece on the iphone in the Wall Street journal), my interview didn't make it into the article :( But hey, I guess between the Poison music video and the Today show, I've had more than my 15 seconds of fame already.

that's about it for now, oh look this nice little man in a green apron is coming over to offer me a free sample of cake right now! I may have just changed my opinion on selling out.
