…do tourists/out-of-towners insist on asking locals where hotels are? It’s not like we actually stay at the hotels ourselves. Plus, there are TONS of Hiltons, Hyatts, etc. in the city. It’s hard for even myself to keep track of how many there are and where they are located.

Review of "Water for Elephants"
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
Pretty good historical fiction; helped me learn a bit about circuses from the Depression era. The story itself was weaved very intricately, which I liked; novel had a great protagonist telling a sad yet invigorating story.
I went to Tapioca Express today with my friend, and we encountered some of the rudest/most oblivious people in the world. Tapioca Express is not too big of a cafe; since it was a Sunday, the place seemed busy, but there were still some seats and tables by the window.
Well, unfortunately, those seats were blocked off by these people with this huge stroller sitting in the middle of the seating area. I became more pissed off when my friend and I had to get the people sitting NEXT to the rude people to move for us. I mean, come on, what the hell? I kept shooting dirty looks at the people with the stroller, but they were completely oblivious to everything. They seemed way too engrossed in their “oh-so-important” conversation.
After awhile, the magazine table closer to the counter cleared up, so my friend and I decided we would move there. Instead of trying to battle through the obstacle of the stroller in the way again, we decided we would climb over the ramp near the entrance to get to the magazine table. We looked weird climbing over the ramp since we had to raise our legs up and over the ramp. Meanwhile, the rude/oblivious customers STILL did not seem to notice the trouble they were causing. All the while, they were letting their little girl run around in the store causing havoc.
Honestly, people like that do not deserve to be out in public.

The new iPhone
Well, there certainly was a spectacle today going down Stockton past Union Square. I was minding my own business on the bus when I heard some old Chinese ladies talking about some phone, looking out the window. I turned around and saw this massive line of people waiting outside of the Apple Store; later on, I found out it was for the release of the new iPhone.
By 3pm or so, I was walking back to Union Square after work and saw the line again, this time even longer! It’s insane how crazy people get with new releases of certain products. I heard that all they updated with the new version was better speed and better price. Hm…seems like too little to get excited for.
