I've seen this guy around other parts of SF. In this case, he was on a Chinatown street corner, positioned right next to a woman with a microphone and loudspeaker (see next photo) who was belting out information about the Chinese Communist government's practice of harvesting human organs to sell them on the black market. This guy was continuously telling passersby that that woman was a prostitute. A second woman was handing out restaurant flyers while also denouncing the first woman.
My entry for the latest Mimobot x Infectious competition. I'll let you know when it's up for voting!
So @digitalnative thought he can do the entire February with coffee pics. I don't know whether I can or not, but here's my first coffee picture, Dunkin' Donuts Cappuccino. Until I order my Flavia coffees and make my own Cappuccinos, I have to buy fancy drinks (once in a while). I didn't know that I was a coffee snob until two months ago. Thinking I'll save some bucks, I bought a container of Taster's Choice (gasp!) from BJ's. Yes, the big plastic container of instant coffee. I drank a week of it. I drank it, convincing my body that I'd get used to the taste...the taste I craved in High School....
What in the heck was I thinking?
The taste is blah with no distinct flavor. Hazelnut coffee flavor creamer is a MUST to help gulp it down. I drink this stuff because I need the caffeine, not for the taste! At this point, I need the caffeine patch like Dr. Krunkelhorn (Wilbur's Grandma in Meet the Robinsons).
I have a crazy crave for good nutty, perfectly roasted taste. I'll take a cup of smooth and sweet cup (yup, like it sweet~!)
So I'm learning that I can be a very particular about things in life like trite things as a cup of coffee. I guess it's like when you've experienced a great music performance live and then hear a mediocre performance, it the is excellence you miss. Or maybe it's like using an intuitive and easy-to-use tool and then find a similar tool that is clunky.
In both cases, you miss what is whole. The good. The "thing" that makes your life more complete and uncomplicated.
I want my teaching to be like that. Fresh, awakening and inspiring. So I'm learning. I'm learning to see my students. I'm learning to see who I am.
Can you smell it percolating?
