Taco Bell (trying the cheesy beefy burrito!), cream soda, old Art Bell show via ‘net radio – slumber party night has begun 🙂

Make that, uh… *reading the wrapper * …Crunchy Beefy Burrito. Good times. Btw, the new Fire-Roasted sauce tastes like mexi-bbq sauce.

Tried the vacpot method I see the Japanese pros do and combining with Knickers Irish Cream. Yum! Lovin’ this Art Bell open lines from 1998.

Terra has chosen Candyman for tonight’s junk food flick. The oven timer just told us the brownies are done, so it’s about show time 🙂

The little dessert plates we got that match our coffee cups and saucers are great for things like brownies but on spn, we eat from the pan!

Fracking hell!!! Washing my siphon pot and there’s a crack in the pot. No idea how/when that happened. 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

I’ve been Tweeting since May 09, 2008 (1030 days). How about you? – http://HowLongOnTwitter.com

For under $25, I can replace (w/ minor upgrade) the vacpot big enough for company. Or for $100, nice tabletop but small, only she and I.

neverending home specialty coffee decision – practical, serves many vs. nicer, small quantity. Presses are easy – everyone gets their own 🙂

We keep meaning to buy a nice/cute/unique 12ish oz. press pot, whenever we see one, until we have a decent little varied collection.

Ever since I got my vacpot for xmas, I have loved more and more the idea of a small tabletop (butane burner) model – intimate coffee ritual

Perfect example of the kind of siphon pot we want http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa3HjN-Byco Btw, that’s a very enviable home coffee bar.

Once again thinking about how much of my life is like a Rube Goldberg machine.

I don’t think I have used my electric grinder since I got my hand grinder – I like the QC of feeling/smelling every bean being ground.

Uh, didn’t occur to me until I hit send but I guess that last tweet was unintentionally humorously related to the one before 😛

"Hand ground, hand pulled, hands down." Don’t remember who says that one. (uh, it’s just a quote – my Gagga is a semi-auto, not a manual.)

I’ve been loving this manual brew method renaissance in my life the last few months but I’m still uncertain about the recent pourover trend.

I’m not thinking pourover is just a fad – just not as interesting to me as siphon and press. My vacpot and I are still in a honeymoon phase.

I have unquestionably learned the truth of "If you don’t understand manual brew methods, how can you possibly understand automatic methods?"

Yes, full immersion is the b…..Oh my, is that really the time?? Nevermind, gotta take off my barista apron and put on my housewife apron!

Pardon my incoherence – I was up all night, rending my clothes and shaving my head after I heard the Blade Runner news.

Sweet! RT @FreedomSmokeUSA: Happy Friday! Get 30% off all juices with the code "30juice" OR 15% off all hardware with the code "15hardware."

Building a franchise around Blade Runner is like building an amusement park around The Smithsonian.

Yeah, it warrants a blog post… http://bit.ly/eoINbo Why I am so against a Blade Runner franchise – Christopher’s Lives (v5.4)

Twitter is my sonic boom seismograph. I hear a boom, then my phone tweets as locals I follow mention it. That last was big – a 5 tweet’er.

WHAT???!!! RT @streamingsoon: Nintendo 3DS: [snip] Netflix streamer. http://engt.co/dKKKSx

Sigh… Last chance for Alamogordo to see the space shuttle docked with the space station (only naked eye required) http://bit.ly/dWOTmH

We got these 2-cup presses before xmas but I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever used one alone. Usually weekend breakfast thing.

How’s everybody’s baja broadband doing? Ours just went out. #alamogordo

Well, internet just came back – guess it was a hiccup.

YESSSS!! Netflix InstaWatch just added a ton of episodes of Sesame Street. New stuff for Wesley’s afternoon edumacational viewing time 🙂

Btw, whoa! Sesame Street has changed. We’ve been watching the podcast for three years but I haven’t seen the show itself in decades.

watching Once – my first time, Terra has been in love with it lately – so far, I am beginning to feel the same.

Btw, I was fascinated by the article in this month’s Barista magazine (pg. 22) about coffee social culture in Bosnia.

@KirkCrawford Mazel tov! 🙂 I remember that day. Life hasn’t been the same since 😛

Once is the rare kind of movie that makes me want to go buy the soundtrack cd and albums by the musicians who star in it and wrote the music

Btw, a ‘see also’ list for Once would start with Lost in Translation and August Rush.

And, Once is yet another proof that a tiny budget and even people working for free can do what the big studios waste billions and fail to do

Getting an ice blended mocha sorta’ thing at the Hasting’s coffee shop. Coffee snob doesn’t mean never enjoying "junk food coffee" again 😉

Besides, they have all those weird artificial ingredients I don’t stock at home that make blended iced coffee drinks so delectable 🙂

Wesley, go do the dishes! No, he can’t do it yet. I’m just rehearsing the line – fantasizing about the day I’ll finally get to use it.

Terra has a girlfriend over. I’m making coffee drinks for them, so I’m smiling 🙂
