Advantage, Bekah

Oh hell no...it seems that Woody Woodpecker works at Starbucks. Or maybe it's his country cousin with the even more obnoxious laugh. Either way, I'm pretty sure that even the Norah Jones comment can't redeem this. Oh Starbucks, why must you toy with me so? Why must you take me on this emotional rollercoaster. This is the most destructive relationship I've ever been in. You build me up with your sweet talk, and then betray me with your terrifying laughing, your milky coffee, and your stupid kite posters. And every day I come back, hoping you've changed, hoping you will be the coffeehouse I know you can be. Or maybe it's my fault. Maybe I'm trying to make you into something you're not. Maybe I'm holding you to too high of a standard--that of my old coffeehouse. You can't change who you are. I can't make you into a coffeehouse you're not. It is my fault for coming back to you when it is not you I want.

But while I'm pointing out Starbucks' flaws, there's one other thing I've noticed. The guys that come in here order the cheesiest drinks. I just can't take a guy seriously if he orders a "Tall Chocolate Brownie Frappuchino with Whipped Cream." Some guy just ordered one, and afterwards he adjusted himself and tried to make a manly coughing sound. I mean really dude, what's the matter with you?

I Like To Move It Move It

I'm settled in my new apartment, and it is wonderful. I love everything about it. I sustained a few injuries when I sneezed while transporting a bookcase. Word to the wise: sneezing may impair your ability to grip heavy objects, and may cause them to fall and tear a gash in your poor arm. Other than that, the move went pretty smoothly. I will write more as soon as something of interest happens. Oh, my landlady uses the word "gnarly" and is therefore the coolest person ever.
