friday june 13

today i engaged in several minutes of world cup talk with the guy behind the counter at ali baba's, even though neither of us had watched any of the day's games or really had much interest in the tournament at all. i can't help but think that if we'd acknowledged that fact much earlier and focused more intently on my shawarma platter, we could've avoided a situation where he was too distracted to include the hummus and i was too distracted to notice.
