My apolgies to anyone who got those odd twitters – I was forwarding old msgs relating to something I like’d on FB & accidentally twittered.

What a long day already – TGISPN! For now, I think it’s time to make an iced latte 🙂

Man, how the world has changed. A pinky swear just doesn’t mean what it used to. -

Posted @jesusfreakgeek Thank you, sir..
Yup, it’s getting warmer – today is the first morning our first coffee was an iced drink. Meh, my milk steaming has been in a slump anyway.

Podcasts, housework. Wish my PSP had bluetooth – I could use my phone earpiece – hate headphone wires. (yeah, I know the PSP Go has it.)
about that ‘Wesley and pizza bites’ pic(s) from sept’08 http://bit.ly/9SuFeZ and then http://bit.ly/9xeYNg
I always thought doing dishes was the most uncomfortable thing I did to my back – but i’m recently convinced giving wesley a bath is.

@DianeOTurner with the right equipment, supplies, and know-how http://bit.ly/aRKmxl that’s how mine come out 🙂
@DianeOTurner hmm, I never really thought about it before… It’s just my hobby/passion/obsession. We’ll have to have you over one day 🙂
@DianeOTurner I’ve often said I want someone to trade with – teach me all they know about cooking, I teach them all I know about coffee 🙂
@DianeOTurner Italian’s good. Tell ya’ what, let’s see when we can have you by for coffee – maybe friday afternoon? But, that’s in pencil 😛
Ok, two people have now twittered about having a caramel macchiato, so I think I must now make one. Or two? 😛
How the heck is it 830 already??? Been up since 5 and nothing is done yet. This time change takes some getting used to.
Classical music on the bar stereo, stew beef browning, chopping vegetables, Wesley eating his breakfast, kitty sleeping on the couch…
A shipment of kreteks showing up at the door two days earlier than expected is definitely a day-brightener 🙂
@RageWritter that’s one of the best things about a full espresso bar at home – full control. can focus on great coffee, less sugary stuff 🙂
RT @RageWritter: RT @johncmayer: Whenever they say it can’t be done, remind them that they make a jellybean that tastes exactly like popcorn
.@RageWritter But I love both – the traditional stuff I make at home AND Starbuck’s dessert-y drinks. Just totally different cuisines 🙂
(My last twitter is, of course, heresy to most serious coffee enthusiasts. I guess I’m not that snobby yet – I love ALL coffee 😛 )
If I want a pure cappuccino experience, I craft it at my bar at home — and if I want a pure Frappuccino experience, I go to Starbucks 🙂
Kitty just stole one of Wesley’s baby carrots. Um, and he’s actually eating it. He ate broccoli the other day.(?!) Weird cat.
@homebarista when I first started I relied heavily on (iirc) hometheaterforum.com and avsforum.com (and ht for dummies book was a huge help)
@kirkcrawford WOW!! That was huge! Your twitter hit my phone, I read it and thought I didn’t hear anyth–BOOM!!
@homebarista caveat: that was many years ago, those sites may suck now. BUT, I still watch avsforum for PS3 info and it’s still great stuff.
A fairly reliable formula could probably be devised with which one could estimate how many coffees I’ve had by how often I twitter 😛

NPR just said today is the 25th anniversary of the first .com domain name.
Got really bold/dumb and opened my Gaggia to investigate a leak I heard. Fixed it and went ahead and risked OPV mod – one turn. We’ll see.
Well, some say one turn of the Gaggia OPV should be about 2 bars pressure difference but so far, I don’t see a drastic difference. Hmm…
I have no gauge, but this machine is clearly adjusted for those espresso pod things – shots are often very bubbly, which wrecks the crema.
I’ll give it a couple days and, if not satisfied, i’ll turn it down more. Hey, i’ve learned tamp, grind, etc. by in-cup results only.
@Arsnof Oh, that really sucks. I sincerely empathize. -

We’re considering spending the whole day with Final Fantasy XIII. hmmm…
A day as gorgeous as this makes it rather disappointing that the only nearby disc golf courses are up in the still-snowy mountains. -

Work friend of Terra’s coming home with her in a bit to sample our espresso bar 🙂 Yay! I get to pretend i’m a real barista again 😛
TGISPN! 🙂
Nurses and kids in our sitting room http://flic.kr/p/7KiL6J
Six kids here. None older than 4. The only nice thing about so many is that it’s more like crowd control than babysitting.
At Pizza Mill, never been in here – they have a whole bunch of old movie mini-posters. Wonder if it’s true film love or cheap decorations.
Pizza Mill also has tombstones lining the wall above the counter with names of every pizza/sub place in town that has closed down. Clever.
Tonight’s slumber party movie: 1976’s Logan’s Run. -

Real energy/motivation issues for days now. Haven’t even felt like frothing milk for lattes, making americanos instead – THAT’S lazy 😛
Was there really a huge vacuum left in pop music that necessitated the return of Bon Jovi??? -

There is an oft-stated misconception that if a user never clicks on ads, then blocking them won’t hurt a site financially. This is wrong. Most sites, at least sites the size of ours, are paid on a per view basis. If you have an ad blocker running, and you load 10 pages on the site, you consume resources from us (bandwidth being only one of them), but provide us with no revenue.
Gonna start a stew this morn so I don’t have to cook dinner tonight – Final Fantasy XIII comes out today, that is our plan for this eve 🙂
Cooking a big pot of chicken green chile stew, listening to the new full-length episode (YAY!!) of The Hollywood Saloon.
mmkay, that experimental little bit of cumin I added to the chicken green chile stew may have been a mistake.
We have Final Fantasy XIII in our hands! 🙂 um, time to find out if it’s any good or not 😛
FF13 uses save points??? HELLO?! This is the 21st century, people! WHY do so many games STILL not let you save anywhere/time??
And no return of the victory fanfare after battles 🙁 But, btw, we are cautiously optimistic about the battle system itself so far.
