ita, don't go to work.

Go, mac! At least he's keeping up with something? And you are also doing a great job with your exercising and whatnot!

She looks like she's trying to force a smile after being told she has to clean toilets all day.

That sounds about right. But maybe it's just her face? She should maybe be a person who doesn't smile in pictures?

Am feeling amazing about this Serious Eats iced coffee taste-test. [link] Amazing because (spoilers) I don't need to feel about about just brewing coffee and then putting it in the fridge any more.

First chair! That's awesome! I was perennial second chair flute in middle school.

Yay mac! That's excellent!

I don't need to feel about about just brewing coffee and then putting it in the fridge any more.

That's what I do! I'm too lazy to do otherwise. t edit And I drink it w/cream, so the article totally vindicates my laziness.

I don't understand not using moisturizer. My face feels dry just thinking about it!

Same here. I've become a convert to Bee Magic Healing Cream at night. It goes on heavy, but it absorbs quickly, and it really is magic for my skin.

Daytime, I use a light application of Weleda Skin Food under my makeup, and a dusting of powder sunblock. I've had to convert to physical sunblocks instead of my beloved super-high SPF chemical ones, because my skin has decided chemical sunblocks are The Enemy.

And I drink it w/cream, so the article totally vindicates my laziness.

This is what I'm saying! I tried cold brewing, which is also very easy, but I just didn't like it as much. Maybe I need my coffee to be bitter because I do like to add milk and sugar?

Back in the day, I seriously would brew hot coffee in the morning, and then dump it over a tumbler of ice to cool down (thus diluting it, which was NOT my goal), and then dumping the cool coffee over another tumbler of ice so I could have iced coffee, not tepid coffee. I grumbled about it, and I'm pretty sure it was a Buffista who said, just brew it the night before and set the carafe in the fridge. And it was like turning lead into gold, ISTG. I would never have thought of that on my own, because I have hilarious gaps in common sense.

Making coffee at night stills feels funny sometimes, though, right?

It totally does.

That's why I like cold brew, because it's concentrated so adding ice or cream or both just makes it regular coffee strength (not to mention that I make one batch with 12 oz of coffee grounds and it lasts me for a good couple-three weeks (or, even lazier, buying Trader Joe's bottles of cold-brewed coffee, which I think last even longer)). And making it into popsicles tastes fantastic. I don't know if I have bothered making iced coffee since trying popsicles.

Although I also love my Aeropress and my various french presses and will occasionally whip out the stovetop espresso machine or moka coffee maker. And there's Turkish coffee, which is good times.

I like coffee.

And didn't read the article. So possibly not actually on topic.
