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)
They've go that blond roast now, I hear
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.

Also, Marvel just announced a Squirrel Girl ongoing series, written by Ryan North.

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.
Teppy, shall we move to your neighborhood? (The commute for the kids would be a bitca, though.) [link]
The woodwork in that house is KILLER.
That's the house next to the library! Also, you'd be right on the parade route! Also -- YES, obviously! Life in the Taco District is great.

Man, I love that porch.
