Googlle


I was in Mexico when Google turned 11. I only had internet access roughly 3 times I was there. The one time I did need to use Google.com it transfered me to google.com.mx and it said "Googlle."


I chuckled and said to my companions "Oh, in Mexico they call it 'Goog-yay' how cute." Clearly I was wrong.

Trainer

It's been forever and a day since I've posted huh? Whatever.

Equinox gives all new members a free Trainer evaluation and session (to suck you into it). I had this nice guy whose fiance is a UCLA grad '07 and also worked at Google (I have no idea who she is). We sort of talked about how awesome LA is and then this happened:

Trainer: So what are your goals?
Me: uhm... strength building?
Trainer: What for?
Me: ... to look good by summer...?
Trainer: Ha, are you from around here? You have an LA vibe.

My assumption is that if I had a "Bay Area vibe" I would be:
  1. Not superficial (wrong).
  2. Superficial but crafty. "I'm doing this for my health. Better yet, it saves the planet one step at a time instead of using my Prius." (right).
