Home Safely!

And glad to be! NWRBC was everything I'd hoped for and more! My palate has developed significantly over the last 4 days, and I'm ready to start training P. to compete in the WRBC 2010. Will post pictures of my awesome swag etc, but after the 6 hour drive from Ashland this morning, I'm ready for bed.

It's also time to get back to work -- I'll be at the cart at 8am tomorrow getting ready to open with a new face in one week!!

Boys or Girls?

Yes!

I'm so amazed that I can have the same degree of desire for dudes and chicks. I love that I don't have to limit myself to someone's sex, or sexual orientation for that matter ;) I'm looking for a person, and what's between your legs really has no bearing on whether I like you or not. I sort of thought I was over the whole "girl thing" for awhile, but, lo and behold, I find myself attracted to another girl. It really is all about personality for me, and I am super picky on that basis, so the playing field for me is really no bigger than someone who is "straight" or "gay", it just looks really different.

Working on my mixes for the roadtrip, looking forward to irritating P. to no end with hours and hours of hip-hop and pop, along with some stuff I know we'll both like. Hey, I had to listen to the Allman Brothers incessantly for an entire semester -- time for some payback, betch!

Favorite song at the moment?

Womanizer. (You call me crazy/I've got your crazy)

Fuck yeah.

4 Days . . .

After 3 days of intense training, I'm so ready for a coffee vacation. A vacation centered around coffee, that is, not a vacation from coffee. No, I don't think I ever really want a vacation from coffee -- I was thinking about it today and I've never been happier at a job. Yes it's stressful, yes I work way too much and way too hard, but it's all worth it in the end. I get to do something I love, hang out with awesome people, meet new awesome people, and improve my craft. Plus, coffee folks are hot ;)

Spent a few hours at the cart getting ready for the changeover. It doesn't look like much now, but its all coming together, and when it's all said and done, the new and improved El Cap is going to be fuckin' SEXY! I'm so excited that I'll be able to serve someone a real espresso, not that hot brown liquid I've been serving over the past year. Convinced P. to get real, ceramic demitasse cups -- fancy. The cart is growing up to become a real coffee shop!

Only 4 days, 9 hours, 17 minutes left until we leave for Portland/Tacoma. My Google Map indicates that I'll be thoroughly caffeinated:
