May. 7th, 2002 09:53 amI keep expecting Digimon to be on.
I'll freely admit to being mildly hooked on the show. I don't look forward to it every week, but when I miss it, I do notice its absence. Pokemon has fallen into disfavor with me. Ash can only go so long being a naive idiot before I start to say, "Either wise up or go home, dummy!" He's supposedly beaten some of the strongest Pokemon battlers in the Pokemon world; one would think that he'd have gained some insight, or something. Digimon, on the other hand, has made a big switch from its previous seasons. The earlier episodes were completely incomprehensible, the current season is only mostly illogical. But still, I'm hooked.
I didn't watch Digimon this week because I was in Pasadena killing time before my cousin's First Communion (which was very nice, by the way). After getting a quick dinner, I headed over to what I recalled was a fantastic coffee shop a few years ago, The Equator. Comfortable, independently owned coffee shops tend to have rather short shelf-lives, especially when they are surrounded by Starbuckses, Coffee Beans and Tea Leaves and others, but it was still there, right where it used to be, and it was open.
The Equator has unusual music and great big pouffy chairs and sofas that one loves to sink into and relax in while sipping a tea or coffee in a very large ceramic cup. And at ten to nine on a Sunday morning, the place is empty, save for the owner who is working the counter. It was beautiful. At night, the place is (or rather was, back when I used to go there years ago) filled with the odd mix of the interesting and authentic and the juvenile and affected. It's loud, and signs around the place advise customers, "If it's too loud, go to Starbucks." But in the morning, boy, was it peaceful. I think I have a new post-work watering hole.
