Highlight of my day

So I scored a free eggnog latte at Starbucks today. This may not be that big a deal to most people, but to me it went a long way. I had already ordered my Grande vanilla latte, but a friendly smile and witty banter sure goes a long way in this world. Of course I wasn't planning on drinking two coffees, but brining The Architect a latte equals mad points.

You see you can have your cheerleaders and your nurses. Your Catholic schoolgirls and Silicon Valley blonds. Hooters girls do nothing for me. The one thing that gets my motor running more than anything are the girls at Starbucks. Yeah Starbucks. Maybe it's the crisp white blouses or the green aprons (it's definitely the green apron) but whatever it is, wow.

I don't even drink coffee that often.

When I was at University, I had a friend who worked at Starbucks who I would visit. All fine and good. Drop by, pick up a free hot chocolate, and chat for a bit and on my way to class. Perfectly normal. What wasn't normal was stopping by to see her manager, Tiania, making idle small talk and buying a coffee that I would invariably either throw away or give to my Profs.

I know it's last minute, but anyone who hasn't got me a Christmas present yet: I'm sure Playboy's Girls' of Starbucks is available online somewhere.

When I was at University? What are you, Stuffy English guy? What's next - ascots, ivory pipes, and 60 year old brandy? We can talk about the affairs of the sub-continent and Oxford's cricket team. Stuck-up punk. Oh yeah, and I second the removal of the Bono Spanish post - just cuz I'm a jerk and that's an old joke.
