Cafe Krupnik

Because of a Gevalia promotion I received a new free coffee maker upon enrolling in their Coffee of the Month Club. I brought in my old machine to the office and set up shop in my fairly sizable cube. Armed with a coffee grinder and a bag of Starbuck's Christmas 2004 Blend (whole bean), I can now produce decent tasting brew every morning for myself and a few select colleagues. My one freaking cup a day needs to count now. It's funny how denying yourself clarifies everything.

I had a bonafide coffee break with L and Michael this morning. We sat in my "office" shooting the crap about real estate and get rich quick schemes--oh, and the best mafia movies to watch.

I'm taking myself out on Friday night. I'm going to a performance of the play "Charley's Aunt" on campus. on Saturday I'm going to the birthday party of the first friend I made during Freshman orientation week at college. She turned 32 on Tuesday. She was 18 when I met her.
