Random, I know

But this movie is so good. I need to see it again.

Strange times

I just came across the news that the woman who inspired the famous Rosie the Riveter ad passed away on June 28.

It's very strange how many people are dying, no? On the flipside I know of a LOT of people who are having babies... so many in fact, that I daydream about getting knocked up. Love that biological clock!

"No You Girls"

New(ish) Franz Ferdinand song that I love.

Peets - the new Starbucks? Please say no.

I'm on the Peet's email list because (1) I'm a freak and (2) I'm always wondering when I might place an order to have shipped to me.

Today I got an email about a new product line: bottled teas they are selling in select stores:



I know things can't stay the same forever, and they probably shouldn't, but I remember when I worked there forever ago (1996-1997) the menu was still in Italian and we never used fake flavoring. It was all natch to the point that we had to hand-mix chocolate syrup (from ground cocoa powder) that was barely sweet at all. It was important never to serve super-sweet drinks.

People were ridiculous and pretentious about the coffee and the tea, but in my opinion they totally deserved to be. I'm still a loyal Peet's fan... just worried my precious Peet's may go the way of the bottled frappuccino.

Like MST3K - but with song!
