So today, I went to Starbucks (yes, I know it's a social no-no, but I was craving an Indian Chai).
Anyway, as I waited in line, listening to my videoipod...I was in a world of my own, listening to Democracy Now (www.democracynow.org)--and Noam Chomsky talk about his new book.
When suddenly the bubbly Starbucks girl asked me, 'what are you listening to?', and the guy behind me (aparently sneaking looks @ my ipod) said, "oh she's watching Noam Chomsky, isn't he amazing?"
Just when I thought that ipodding caused social isolation, it actually creates a way for others to start a conversation with you!
