Disease, and Silly Companies...

So, first I was sick. Not quite deathly ill--and definitely not swine flu, or H1N1--but not exactly functional either. Then, I get rested and well and head back into work...

...where I find out I'm working overnights. So I end up working 2 shifts without sleeping (because I was so well rested I couldn't sleep that day...ironic). And in the process, had the evil sick rear it's ugly head yet again.

That means...no energy, time nor inclination for posting. Sorry.

Tho, with the new schedule, it makes a late-ish coffee shop run possible...mmmm...potential special series brewing!

(Ha ha, totally not an intended coffee pun. So sad.)

That's it for now...sorry for all the crap-posts, but...it happens. Go get a cup of coffee and fume if you must.

It's Thursday...

...which means I owe you folks a post. But the plans to do a coffee shop were foiled by illness. And that was my primary plan for the post. Hrm.

Bloglines isn't turning up much to link to. Curses.

It's time for silly tests.

Your result for The Caffeine Addiction Test...

A Bit Overboard

You're 40% Caffeine-Addict!

You're getting a bit carried away with this caffeine business. At the levels of caffeine you're consuming you probably aren't even enjoying the drug anymore. When was the last time you even had a good coffee-buzz?

You know, more doesn't always mean better. Consider taking a caffeine-vacation for a few days every week. Then, during the days when you do help yourself to some coffee you'll be reminded of what made you fall in love with the drug in the first place.

Your result for The Coffee Knowledge Test...

Coffee Snob

71 % knowledge

I can see the passion rising in you.Go forth, Grasshopper, take what you have learned here and thrive. I have nothing left to teach you.

Your result for The Caffienated Test...

The Puritan

44% Caffienated! 30% Sweet! 57% Coffee addicted!

You like your coffee, and you like it solo. You probably enjoy having a good cuppa, but you aren't addicted to caffiene or sugar per se. Fru-Fru coffee drinks aren't likely to be your forte.

The Late, Anti-Climatic Post

I had intended to write a late post, a review on Scottie's Cafe and Tea House. I had it in mind all day, even while I had one of the worst days at work ever. I made myself drag my tired, vegetable-like butt off the couch and head down to Worthington. I made sure I had my review template on my Palm, and realized I could shoot some pretty cool pics with it once I got in the space and saw how neat it was.

Then my friend showed up, and we spent the hour visiting. Ooops.

I'll go back very soon, 'cause this is one of the coolest shops I've been in, period. In the mean time, informal poll time:

In order to atone for dereliction of duty, should the author

1. Be made to post on the weekend
2. Submit to a kick from each reader
3. Write "I Won't Forget to Take Notes" 25 times
4. Just write the dang review ASAP
5. All of the above

Make your selections, choose your druthers!

Moving, Part 2

While shopping for some shelf liners (some of our new closet shelves look pretty ugly) today, we went into a Target that had a Starbucks location inside. I love that cofee shop smell...it made me want to go spend money I didn't have more than the body pillow display did.

It's just dawned on me I don't have any handy coffee shops, unless you count the Starbucks inside our Kroger across the street. At the old place, I had an actualy Starbucks location (rarely visited, but still there) just down the road. Here, nothing.

You would think a guy like me would pay closer attention to that.

Of course, I did pay attention to the fact that a five minute drive will bring me to my favorite Columbus Dunkin Donuts location, so give me some credit ;-)

Moving, Part 1

I'm in the middle of a move, and few things are further from my mind than hanging out in coffee shops. Nevermind opening one.

I am glad to have my french press and kettle though...easy to transport, easy to set up. It was really good this morning!
