I went to Moda tonight - the first time in a couple of months, I think. It's an okay coffeehouse, but I'm too often disappointed by the burnt taste of the latte. There are other coffee shops in the area, but they don't stay open as late as Moda (past midnight).
Anyway, I took a book to read, (see above) but I got a bit distracted by two women talking across from me. I don't usually listen in on conversations, but, and I think you'll agree with me, sometimes you can't help it. For me it was when one of them ordered a creme banana capuchino with soy milk.
Is that a made up drink?
Apparently not as something in a mug arrived a few minutes later.
The two of them talked about college days, shared break-up stories and frustrations of weight control. Then one of them noticed a painting on the wall. It was a golden triangle on a red background. It possibly means something, but I don't know what.
Then the exotic coffee lady got excited and took a photo of the painting because, and I kid you not here, she said that she collects pictures of triangles.
Is that a made up hobby?
Apparently not as she then pointed out that she was wearing a top with a triangle on it.
Later in their conversations I heard a word being used (or at least I think I heard it): "Communiverse".
Is that a made up word?
I'm not sure, but unlike the coffee and painting I like it.
Communiverse. I've not decided what it means yet, but I think it could be profound. Once I'm satisfied with a definition I'll try and use it in conversation some time.

Well, what do you know?! I take back any assumed thoughts about the young lady. However, my opinion about a creme banana capuchino with soy milk still stands.
