Coffee!

I'm in heaven. Because of the limited counter space at the old apartment, I did not have a coffee maker. I'm one of those people who likes to drink coffee at night around seven or eight o'clock. Odd, I know. So, the coffee at work in the morning does me little good. And running to Starbucks (even if it is only a block away) at eight o'clock is a real pain in the ass. (And expensive!) Anyway, since the new apartment has counter space to spare, I got a little coffee maker. I also sprang for the expensive Starbucks coffee. Delicious.

I started reading Something Wicked This Way Comes on Thursday. I remember reading a couple Bradbury books in middle school, but I didn't take to them much. Going back to Something Wicked, I've found that I absolutely love it. I can't imagine a child or teenager getting from it what an adult can. Plus, it is the perfect book to read around this time of year.

Jason's mother somehow dragged him into a conversation on politics while we were there dropping something off earlier today. This was, without a doubt, a mistake. The funny thing? Jason's mother claims she supports everyone Jason disagrees with, but she doesn't disagree with Jason on the issues when you talk to her about them one-by-one. I had her take one of those candidate matchers on the internet, and she got Bob Barr. I busted a gut laughing because she's got an Obama sign in her yard. She didn't even know who Bob Barr is or the stance of the Libertarian party on the hot button issues. To tell you the truth, she doesn't know Obama's stance on any of the issues either or she wouldn't be voting for him.

I've been following a young man named David Choi on YouTube. He's an aspiring singer/songwriter, and with the help of his YouTube following, he's managed to release an album recently. For the most part, his videos are covers of popular songs. The one embedded below is an original. It's very good, and he's adorable.
