So I had the pleasure of leaving work early today to make up for a couple of late nights this week, and I'm having what LisaB has come to characterize as an "urban experience." (Pardon me, Lisa, if I got the term wrong.) Rather than go get my haircut as I had planned, I decided to take the train to have curry and find a new book at Sam Weller's . SW now has complimentary wireless, so I got a short americano and sat down at their funktastic tables with a view of patrons and of people on the street:- Outside down by an Italian ice cart a woman sits at a table sobbing. She looks homeless and no one around her pays her any attention.
- Over in the corner, two business men are in the corner negotiating some contract. They are arguing the finer points.
- A homeless guy in a trucker hat and torn jeans asks for a cup of hot water. They accomodate him.
- A pair of teens in matching stoner clothes (one with rasta hat, one with wanna-be dredlocks) order cheese danishes and ice coffees. They have stoner eyes.

was the sobbing lady's head on the chess table? because after i had curry for lunch, as i was playing hooky from work, i think i saw the same sobbing lady, only she was not sobbing at the time.
