I finished another one of the Percy and the Olympians books and have requested the next one from the library. I’m enjoying the series. Rebecca and I are reading Akiko and the Planet Smoo series and liking it Very Much, we just picked up books two and three at the library today. I also finished Dismantled by Jennifer McMahon. It’s one of those books that I have a hard time saying I liked a whole lot, but I finished it really fast, it kept my attention. I just started Drucula Un-Dead by Dacre Stoker (relative of Bram even), an impulse pick-up from the library. I love the original, so I was wary of this, and I’m only about 50 pages in so it could go badly, but so far it’s pretty good (oh hahaha, I just looked at the amazon page and the reviews are mostly pretty grim, doh!).
Today’s song has been in my head off and on since I first heard it on Daily Coyote in a video of Charlie and Chloe. The talking part in the middle reminds me of Mickey and Sylvia.
I don’t go out for coffee that much. It’s ‘spensive, yo! I go out by myself once a month or so, hang out at the coffee shop with a book and my ipod. Or sometimes Rebecca and I will “do school” at a cafe for a change of scenery. Twice in the last couple of weeks, we’ve been caught in the rain and stopped in a coffee shop to wait out a downpour. Last week we went to a Starbucks, today we went to Peet’s (I much prefer Peet’s!). What follows is me and Ed texting about my coffee:
A: Don’t be tempted by the dark cherry mocha at starbucks, it tastes like a mocha spiked with cough syrup.
E: Ew.
A: Raspberry mocha at peets is yum, tho.
E: Starbucks pretty much sucks now, they should just merge with jack in the box or something.
