Four Shots

Today I dropped my car off at a repair shop so I am visiting another Starbucks location. The girl who took my order for a triple-venti-no whipped-mocha suggested that I add a fourth shot as the drink would taste better and they throw the fourth away anyway. I agreed but thought it a bit odd considering I have had about three zillion of these latte's and have never heard this before. The store is surprisingly busy considering it is located near some outlet malls that don't open till later in the morning.

Yesterday afternoon I was in a pissy mood. I picked up B after school than made supper for the kids. Retreating to Clickerville after I cleaned the kitchen I wasted the rest of the night watching Sex in the City and The Sopranos. I must be a bit schizophrenic considering the stark contrast between the shows but I enjoy both of them.

During the day I make plans to spend my evenings constructively but they rarely seem to work out. I have to find some way to get more energy in the evening. One day I will be lying on my deathbed wishing I had not wasted so much time in Clickerville.

Salut, Dirk...

Had a chance to catch up with your blog postings. The Goodwill adventure was particularly memorable. I have to say, it's a great place to pick up some decent clothes without breaking the bank. It's something I think more and more of us will be doing as we approach Great Depression Mark II. Fully agree with you about the Materialist Matrix we're plugged into. If we choose to live on the grid then it's going to affect us somewhat but we have to work around it as much as we can...For example, I don't have a car to the memorable Geico commercials are merely entertainment for me rather than another possible choice for insurance...another goddamned racket right there...GaP
