...Colombus sailed the ocean blue!
Yay for Colombus Day! When I was in school, I loved Monday holidays. I'd much rather have a Monday off than a Friday. My favorite semesters in higher education were the ones where I managed to avoid Monday classes. I don't mind Friday classes because there always seemed to be a better vibe going on - everyone is looking forward to the weekend and feeling laid back. You can't say the same for Monday. I love that scene in Office Space where the co-worker inanely comments "you look like you have a case of the Mondays" (or something to that effect) to Ron Livingston because as you're watching - even if you've NEVER worked in an office - you feel his pain and just want to smack this woman. I hate smarmy indivduals who grasp for conversation about the lamest topics. I understand we all resort to common stuff like the weather from time to time, but there are those people who ALWAYS start with the same material. I don't mind if a stranger talks to me, occasionally it is even endearing when you have that awkward moment of prolonged eye contact and the person breaks it with a smile and opening gambit. Like when I stare at the Starbucks baristas as I'm waiting for my beverage and they begin chatting to fill the silence - speeds the time pleasantly along.
I actually haven't enjoyed any espresso for almost a week. Last Tuesday I had not one but TWO lattes, courtesy of my dad who was visiting me and loves to stop for coffee. He was going to THROW AWAY a non-fat vanilla latte after he tried one sip of it, so I rescued it before it could be tossed in the trash. We proceeded to lunch at an awesome restaurant, where I had a lovely Chicken Parmesean sandwich, french fries, and iced tea. Then after we had lunch we went to a different place for coffee and I had their specialty, which is a vanilla latte with an extra espresso shot and a dab of Frappucino like mocha stuff on top (this drink is delicious!). So in one day I ingested more caffiene than I do in seven. Crazy.
Now I am hungry and craving iced tea or a latte. Despite the fact I ate a huge lunch earlier. That's what I get for discussing food.
