my largest distraction from coffee only gets better. we played for our friends, and life was good.

it's Aficial (groan)

Our undying devotion to Aficionado this past week has paid off, and we now know this espresso inside and out. We began serving it on the bar yesterday, and it's the first change in blends I've seen since I started working here two years ago (save for our month long SO Rwanda in April). We pulled in a third grinder all last week to test out the Aficionado, and its a sad moment to see the dude leave. However, if fate's stars stay the way they have been, a third grinder will return. I kind of want to put a lazy suzan in the corner to rotate the grinders on. My only fear is that it would turn into one of those playground things where the kids who don't make it to the center end up flying off the edges into Splinterville bark city.

Anyway it's freaking cold. It's 48 degrees right now. Sure, it's early. But I had to go hunting for a coat. And an extra blanket last night. Poor Bruce has even willingly subjected himself to being an indoor cat again. Maybe this explains part of my allergies...

But with cold weather comes shivering tired eyes with coffee demands. Gimmie gimmie gimmie and I say ok ok ok it's yours. Take it!

Tomorrow my band is playing their first show. In case you live in Atlanta and feel like being accosted by a pop grunge band for an hour than just swing over to the highland inn ballroom around 9pm. it's free.

okbye.

(do any of you guys listen to Ride? There's this song of theirs called the Colour of the Sky and at the end it plays a little music box melody. I used to have a music box that had the same song... so weird.)

for real?!?
