I drink coffee sometimes, but I’m not a big fan. I could live without it.

This time last year though, I was visiting Starbucks at least 3 times a day, if not 4, for 3 months straight. It probably had something to do with being in a hell called the rat-infested basements of Columbia University with Rachael, my avid-Starbucks-drinker co-worker, but you’ll have to read about that later after we publish our book, which is tentatively titled “Death by Endowments.”

There was the cab-ride-to-work cup of coffee…

…the mid-morning-pre-lunch caramel frappuccino…

…the after-lunch-can’t-keep-my-eyes-open espresso macchiato…

…and the why-the-hell-not-it’s-paid-for vanilla latte.

So yeah. I drink coffee sometimes, but I’m not a big fan. This Starbucks splurge happened only because of circumstance, and I stopped drinking their coffee the moment I left New York last July.

However, Rachael has been back in the office lately… and she introduced me to this new drink called the double shot on ice…

I can’t decide if bars staying open until 4am is a good thing because I can’t feel my face right now. That is all.

We want a dog.

Ed suggested a Shiba Inu.

He also suggested naming it Korean Dinner or KD for short.

We’re considering it.

Clear skies? Check. Full moon? Check. Trippy lights? Check.

Thousands of people swaying together like a cult? Radiohead live??? Check and check… birds dying? Maybe.

And then this song played:

I thought everyone was going to slash their wrists in unison.

… to a theater near you:

“I iz frum ur past ruinin ur futurezzz”
