so monday, i went to my local coffee spot, Porto Rico, to pick up some fresh beans for the week (Hawaiian Kawai, which for some reason never makes you crash). I ordered a small cup to go cause they feature a new bean every day. In my caffeine daze, I take the cup and leave the beans on the counter... duh. So I went back today and felt like an idiot asking about it. The girl behind the counter goes underneath the counter and seems to go through a bunch of different bags and grabs my bag. I say "this happens all the time"? And she says "yes". at that moment I felt one with the rest of nyc coffee fiends.... and another good reason not to go to Starbucks...
speaking of good coffee, I got to check out Blue Bottle in SF... they imported this insane coffee maker from Japan which literally takes a day to get the a super-concentrated form of coffee (it's a super-slow drip_. Boy Genius had it and was wired... I tried a new orleans style coffee which blew me away. highly recommended.
Air Force Ones on ice? I just found a pair of FLIP-FLOPS that i kept on ice! These are probably the best flip-flops ever produced. super-comfy with Birkenstock style cork bottoms and velvety band. I think I bought 4 pairs when these came out... haha. Boy Genius, eat it up. Flip-flops on ice, sounds soo stupid... but I can't wait to break these out in 2010.
