At risk of seeming like a crazy cat person… My cat got himself “stuck” in this paper bag for a few minutes. It was funny until I realized he wasn’t struggling to get out of the bag as much as he was to get further into it. Shit, my cheeseburger was probably still in there.
WAS still in there.
It’s about 10:19pm and I’m about 5 minutes into this new show called Dirty Sexy Money (yeah math doesn’t add up because I’m using my TiVo) and I’ve decided it’s awesome… so far.
Just wanted to throw that out there.
I’m a self-admitted coffee snob. All I ask for in the morning is a cup of coffee before work. Of course I have to make it complicated so here’s my problem(s):
So what to do? Blue Bottle has the answer, filter drip. Now a new problem, where to get the gear? Actually the bigger problem was that the solution was too easy so I had to make it difficult. I had to have a porcelain one and must have Chemex filters.
After a long search I came across Sweet Maria’s. Though they seem to focus on micro-roasting and selling roasting gear they have a pretty good selection of other coffee items. I picked up a plastic #4 cone filter holder and a porcelain one (of course).
The result? A cup of coffee that made me say g’damn… so I had 3, back to back, leading to my most productive day of work in quite a while. I highly recommend the solution but cannot recommend having 3 cups in 30 min.
And yes, I use Blue Bottle coffee.
G’DAMN!
So today is Talk Like A Pirate Day. What does that have to do with anything? Not a g’damn thing. I just figured it worthy of being mentioned in the first post in my new blog, which is in no way an improvement over my old blog which went up in flames after Brazilian hackers (from Brazil not hot-chick-hackers-who-shave) took the server down one night.
