Second day of gross, cloudy, wet weather. Ugh. Terra stayed home sick. This is the winter of our discontent and all that.

Lifestream for February 2nd, 2010
I have finally decided to friend a bunch of people on facebook. If I friended you today, I miss you or wish I knew you better.
@divised ten lyrical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep who haul stall around the quo, quay, and the quivvy, all at the same time..
The kitty went out last night and still isn’t back. This is bad. Terra will be inconsolable.
Hm, second day in a row someone has knocked on the door and asked to buy Dad’s truck.
Drowning our sorrows in a pressed pot of Tanzanian Peaberry from Milagro in Las Cruces. Bad for espresso, surely will be great pressed.
YAY!!! RT @NurseTerra: MY KITTY CAME HOME :)!!!!!! And VERY hungry. He ate a whole can of food and is now eating his regular food 🙂
THANK GOD!!! RT @NurseTerra: MY KITTY CAME HOME 🙂 http://flic.kr/p/7Akyww
Oops, miscalculation cooking dinner and so distracted I didn’t notice = everyone could only finish half of what was on their plate.
Kitty is really shook up – he keeps looking out the back door, genuinely alarmed, and so far refuses to go outside. So weird and sad. -

Grrr, got three kinds of beans from Milagro in Cruces and all are giving me almost nothing but foam that dissolves quickly. Bad roast?
The beans were all roasted the 26th. Not sure how to properly rest them, if that’s what’s wrong. May have to just use them in the press.
not familiar with the syphon method of making coffee? it’s the mad scientist way ;P here’s Intelligentsia’s: http://bit.ly/8wh4ld
Um, why is Phil Collins singing True Colors?? I think I may need a new radio station, I have to draw the line somewhere 😛
Just opened a new bottle of cumin. Hm. Kinda smells like gold bars after a matter transfer.
Made chicken fajitas, spanish rice, black beans. Now making dessert steamers for everyone 🙂
The dessert steamers I mentioned http://flic.kr/p/7A3Zer Espresso machines (and bar full of flavors) are useful for more than just coffee:) -

Ross in LC has made some very disappointing changes – they apparently have decided to drastically reduce their glassware and coffee stuff.
Ross is the only IRL place we know to get cheap but unique press pots, sometimes with matching cups. But there were none there yesterday 🙁
(see, we have this fantasy of collecting a variety of small, unique press pots for single-serves, rather than using our 32oz Bodum.) -

Just got an excellent cappuccino at Milagro Coffee y Espresso next to university in Las Cruces – possibly best i’ve ever had.
Caveat re: my last tweet, i’ve been to very few cafes in my life. -

Dealing with unprecedented amounts of nonsense. But it will be slumber party night in just a couple hours 🙂
Trivia: I stumbled across my first tweet about slumber party night – May 31, 2008. We had no idea we were starting a tradition that night.
This week’s slumber party night junk food is Fruity Pebbles and the junk food entertainment is Lexx episodes 🙂 weirdo sci-fi rulez! (again) -

LOS ANGELES—George Himmelsbaugh, 32, was informed Tuesday that he was incorrect in enjoying a thing he had been deriving pleasure from for many years. Authorities in the field informed Himmelsbaugh that, although he believes his appreciation of the thing to be a matter of subjective personal taste, any positive feelings or satisfaction taken from this are by definition erroneous. Furthermore, sources reported, Himmelsbaugh does not in fact enjoy the thing, but has merely been convinced that he does by the influence of others who also claim to enjoy the thing but who must be insane or developmentally disabled if they actually do. Himmelsbaugh has responded to the information by endeavoring to enjoy the correct things in the future.
perfect slap in the face to elitist snobs like myself 😛 Man Who Enjoys Thing Informed He Is Wrong | The Onion http://onion.com/7eo6K5
Just gave the "Stockfleth’s move" a first try and pulled an amazing shot! Smooth, thick, sweet. May have been luck. (19g 1.5oz ~27secs)
Too bad i’m just about out of beans or I’d pull three in a row to see what happens. The WDT hasn’t gotten me these results.
@don_rivers I have used a few over the years but once I tried Feedly, I haven’t looked back. It’s web-based (?!).
@don_rivers however, if you want full media, too, look no further than Ziepod. And the paid version is well worth it.
I have just seen my first Lady Gaga video. Um. Amazing cinematography and production design, that much is certain. No further comment. -

@dailydemitasse I agree with the sugar, but I see a proper ratio of milk kinda’ the same as water with scotch – to reveal certain subtleties
@dailydemitasse BUT most every nuance of the coffee is quenched by any higher than say 1:3 — and I prefer no higher than 1:2 or less.
@dailydemitasse oops! Obviously, those ratios were meant for espresso. (Though I do add a bit of cream (not milk) to press coffee.)
finished reading The City of Ember. meh. color-by-numbers, adding nothing to the genre. makes me want to re-read Bova’s Exiles trilogy.

.@dailydemitasse I got a no-name mokka pot and gave up quickly as the results were dismal. Maybe your success will get me to try again.
@don_rivers um, dayim! that’s bizarre.
RT @don_rivers: YIKES! A double-A battery just spontaneously exploded in my room! It really freaking was loud! It was in a toy of my son’s.

Listening to The City of Ember – knew a title and that’s it. Didn’t know it is a kids’ book. But, it’s interesting enough so far. (Ch6of20)
Posted @jesusfreakgeek 2008 I mean.
Ok, there is a decent chance that this is the best chicken green chile stew (caldillo?) i’ve ever made 🙂
