I get my fair trade coffee at Trader Joe's -- the Ethiopia organic/fair trade/shade-grown/etc stuff is quite tasty. Starbucks also carries a few fair trade varieties, all of them Latin American IIRC.
Mighty fine shindig.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Funny thing is (okay, possibly not actually funny) I haven't installed 6.0.5. I've downloaded it onto both machines at home, and just haven't gotten around to it. But I am running some subversion of 6 both places.
He was all "And it has podcasts?" Dude. How else would I be able to listen to Neil Gaiman interviews about Eternals? I smite thee, and confiscate thine geek cloak.
A couple weeks ago, I was trying to point out how geeky someone was by mentioning they called the battering ram in RotK by name. Unfortunately the guy I was trying to demonstrate this to thought it was very cool (and in fact tried to impress other people with it--and it worked). The guy I'd been trying to out turns to me and is all "Oh, Miss Buffy/Firefly/7 million cancelled shows?" To which I replied "I know it's called Grond. I just don't name drop."
Same two guys, one just back from France, the other using grade school French on him. Recent returnee says "All I know is 'oui.'" Other guy doesn't hear and asks "What?" and is answered by "You know--the Nintendo console."
At which point I need to run screaming from the geekdom.
Sheesh.
At least they're both good looking and can kill with either pinkie.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know, it's very hard to look serious and knowledgeable to associates who wander into your office when you have to turn off David Bowie's Laughing Gnome in order to listen to them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I get mine at Joe the Art of Coffee on 13th st, has some of the best coffee in town. AFAIK it also has fair trade. OTOH, I would think most places in town-- Starbucks, Whole Foods, Fairway, FreshDirect, Balduccis, Dean & Deluca, etc etc has fair trade. This is NYC, after all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Emmy nominations that make me happy:
South Park's Trapped in the Closet. All of the "as him/herself" noms for guest stars on Extras. The FX nom for Mammoth. (Not because I have any clue if it deserved it, but... Mammoth!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm watching this old House that I've seen before, and I CANNOT get past the fact that House and Stacy get a hotel room in the airport because their flight from BALTIMORE got cancelled. She can drive a car, right? They're like two hours from home.

Yeah...I thought that was odd, but my geography is not worth dick.
