Just Another Blundering American

First off, had another “smells like home moment” again. Another fire. I really think I should just rename this site the “Ashtray Fires Near Old Street Tube Blog” and be done with it.

I hate what Starbucks “stands for”. I hate that they over saturate an area with stores, forcing all the other coffeeshops out of business. (Although, that fact gave us this amazing picture:)

Anyway, back to the rant — Starbucks has all these things going against them. I know this.

But I still can’t help myself. The Dark Mocha Frappucino is heaven in a plastic cup. I could live off these things.

Oh, and Combos. Gotta have Combos too.

In still other news, went ice skating last week. It was the first time in probably 10 years that I’ve gone ice skating for fun (i.e., not in the suit of armor that I normally wear). It was scarier than I remember, that’s for sure. It was still a lot of fun, though. Even with the awful music being played on a far-below-suboptimal sound system.
