I hate the mall.

I don't buy things, I buy food and wine and sometimes a cocktail. I buy time with friends out. I do not own things. So I bought an Ipod Nano 2 weeks ago. It let me listen to Social Distortion on the scooter and drowned out the honking cars as I zoomed past. Same day as the "Sopping" post I was running late for an interview with seven layers of wet things on my person before I had to hit the shower. Pat pockets, layers in the drier. I am now sitting in the mall trying to convince someone else to get me off the hook for the idiocy of trashing my little piece of digital love by forgetting it in a jacket pocket. There are people here that you would never see anywhere else in the world. They are beautiful and prim and buying buckets of technology. It is raining out, my meter is about to expire and I really hope they give me a new Nano. More to come.
