Coffee and alcohol - the ingredients of a ^@@^ writer.

Notice I didn’t describe writer as “GOOD” or “GREAT” or “POOR” or “HORRIBLE”? Just… ‘writer’. Yeah well… its true. How can you be a writer if you don’t drink coffee or alcohol? Okay you can write. But the inspiration will be something other than ‘chemically induced ramblings’. And that’s the, er, best kind. Isn't it?

Nevermind.

The combination of coffee and alcohol is like pen and paper. Or a dictionary and a thesaurus. Or Ren & Stimpy. Or The Captain and Tennille. Or Prince and the Revolution. Shaq and Kobe. Birds and the bees. Here nor there. 123 and ABC!!! Without it there’s nothing.

And when there’s no coffee maker there’s no coffee. And our coffee maker broke. We were on loaner coffee maker mode. We were on wait in line at 6:30 AM to get coffee before work mode. We were at our wits end mode.

So we purchased another one from Starbucks.



Starbucks Barista® Thermal Coffee Press

Starbucks recommended method of brewing highlights coffee’s full, rich taste. Fine mesh filter lets coffee retain the precious oils that paper filters absorb. Stainless steel, double walled insulation keeps coffee fresh and hot for up to two hours. Makes 32 fl oz (946mL) of delicious coffee.


Now all I have to do is fix my alcohol still and I’ll be back on track.

Yes, life will be back on track but unfortunately, Shaq’s still gone and the "The Captain and Tennille" reference really dated me.

NOTE: GORDON THE GOLDFISH IS STILL ALIVE!!!
