Overheard Starbuck

"I live so minimally..."
---"You're an American with a car and a computer."
"...me and thou and the intermittent horizon-line."
----"Don't you mean interrupted horizon-line?"
"A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, thou and the horizon-line. Anything more: clubs, bars, parties; the care and feeding of ipods, cell phones, cd-players etc. and it turns all 'Grand Guigno'l' in an instant. The ringing in my ears is the perfect soundtrack for my life."
----"Perfect aria for your life."

"I think people are allergic to me."
---"You're not handsome or rich; there's no reason for people to want to know you... don't you mean you're 'allergic' to people?"
"No."
