I have grown accustomed to having the spinny beachball interrupt my morning thoughts as my computer does all it's housekeeping at the same time i'm waking. (I mostly blame the email program to which i switched.)
During dinner yesterday, i realized my brother has his own little spinny beachball, his blackberry. We'd be chatting and then, suddenly, there's the bb (beach ball, blackberry) and all external input was ignored as he worried about the business going on at the other end of the line. He was in his bb stage when the waitress came to take the order. I did get a response to what seasoning he wanted on the edamame, but when the edamame came he looked up at me puzzled. "Have we ordered?"
He taught me a new way to eat edamame though, so it's all good.
He's also sleep deprived, and given he hadn't eaten since 2:30 am, had given a presentation, and had been in meetings overnight... He's in far better shape than i would be.
One cool thing (for which i thank![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mopalia), was getting to chat about K-pop with both my sister (who was having dinner with a Korean business guest of her husband last night) and my brother. A rare chance to feel cool and in the know for myself. I wonder if that's part of what drives "pop." Hrm.
