Especially today.....
The coffee finally arrived a few minutes ago - I was hovering somewhere near the 8th layer of hell waiting it out.
"A morning without coffee is like sleep." ~Unknown
"This coffee falls into your stomach, and straightway there is a general
commotion. Ideas begin to move like the battalions of the Grand Army
of the battlefield, and the battle takes place. Things remembered
arrive at full gallop, ensuing to the wind. The light cavalry of
comparisons deliver a magnificent deploying charge, the artillery of
logic hurry up with their train and ammunition, the shafts of with
start up like sharpshooters. Similes arise, the paper is covered with
ink; for the struggle commences and is concluded with torrents of black
water, just as a battle with powder." ~Honore de Balzac, "The Pleasures
and Pains of Coffee"
“Starbucks
says they are going to start putting religious quotes on cups. The very
first one will say, 'Jesus! This cup is expensive!'” -- Conan O'Brien
I'm going on the record here to say that I personally despise Starbucks coffee and everything it stands for. The beans taste acrid and over roasted, the service often smug; world wide they're putting the little coffee shops out of business and the shops and employees all look the friggin' same - They're the Gap of overpriced bitterjuice that needs a cup o'lactose topped with another cup o'sweetener o'choice just to choke it down.
A good cup of coffee should need no mixers or chasers - it's inky chewy stimulation should slide down smooth like black ambrosia. And so it does...
Cheers!
