cory was right.
i had an ominous feeling all morning and it came to a head when i picked her (who was no longer blowing me off) up. thankfully, i won't be perpetuating the same unhealthy patterns, at least for a minute. so we had ice cream and had conversation that was an even bigger waste of time than before, then i dropped her off and went to contemplate and reorganize over a cup of coffee. over this cup of coffee i met an interesting and delightful swedish snowboarding/dancing/exchange student, and enjoyed the gay superbowl remembering an awesome and thought provoking conversation.

recently i'd been thinking about email conversations (the original influence of the "cocktail party effect") and how they last for weeks (perhaps) but would only take up a few moments in real time. i really think this completely changes the meaning and the imagined significance of said conversation. deeper analysis by jason kottke at kottke.org.
thank god for good conversation, and communication in all its forms.
