Starbucks coffee tastes over-roasted to me, and I generally like a dark roast
That's because it is over-roasted. That's part of how they achieve the consistent Starbucks flavor. Being able to give people the exact same thing every time is a smart business model.
Yay tommyrot!
That is excellent news on the Supreme Court front!
They've go that blond roast now, I hear. I did get all fancy one time and try a Clover brewed, um, Kona? A bean from some specific region. I think I asked for something with a lighter roast, too, before we settled on the bean. Not this last gift card but the one before. Perhaps just asking for coffee instead of getting terribly specific was my mistake this time, but the drive-thru did not lend itself to all that.
Go tommyrot! I hope you can find something to help, whatever the cause turns out to be. Non-specific fatigue is such a drag.
I am one of THOSE Seattle people, and will only go to Starbucks if it is the only option
Yes. I generally don't go if I'm in Seattle (granted, this is partly because if I'm walking there, there are about six better coffee shops that are all closer--if they were farther, I might not). But I do go if I'm traveling, if I'm not having breakfast at the hotel, because I know what my options are--it's more for the food than the coffee (at a local place, they might have good stuff, or they might only have sketch pastries)

I read that as "blood" roast and was taken aback.
I did try the new "Oprah Chai". I think it might have crack in it, because I've had it two more times since, and keep craving it.

Vampires who need caffeine are a tragically unsupported market.
So, we have more marriage equality, Twin Peaks is coming back, and I'm almost fucking done with the workload that's trying to kill me (though one coordinator sent me Old Job stuff today and was thoughtful enough to say "you can return this when you finish [New Job Stuff]", so I emailed back and said "Great! I'll have it back tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday morning!").
Not a bad Monday.
Oh! And I'm eating a honeycrisp apple RIGHT NOW and god, it is so good.

Business opportunity!
Not a bad Monday.
Also, Marvel just announced a Squirrel Girl ongoing series, written by Ryan North.
That's nuts (snerk)

On behalf of my former employer, one of the beneficiaries, thank you! The Choprah (TM a guy at my local Starbucks) is the only thing I've bought at a non-hotel Starbucks in years.
