I'm in exile in yuppieville. No, wait that was just last night.
My roomie invited me to one of his MBA graduates' night out in this ritzy part of town called Yorkville. The name of the bar escapes me but it's the kind of area where BMW drivers park their cars in tow away zones because they can't be bothered to find legal parking and can easily afford several hundred parking tickets. Disgusting, I know.
We settled in the upper floor patio, a crowded but much umbrella-ed space where all the hostesses look like corporate receptionists - squeaky clean and fake-smiley eyed. Everyone there appears to be on the up and up. I wonder if there are any other relatively poor people like me around.
Theory: people who are trying to impress are the poor people. Rich people don't have to dress up because they know they are rich.
But then, we're all relatively poor since we're all newly graduated/still in school types. That doesn't stop me rfom ordering a 10.99 spicy thai chicken dish. The wallet puts up a good fight but always loses to the stomach.
I must work out now. To be continued.
