Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, and relatedly, check out this NES controller-controlled espresso machine!

I thought, Oh, is that what Nespresso is all about? (Note that the website plays music, but it also includes George Clooney, so it may be worth it.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But what about the roasting?

Dries the beans out so they don't go rancid.

Ha! We had a Nepresso machine in our flat in Paris -- we stumbled into their store the second day we were there completely by accident and were very impressed by its swankiness, given that all they sold were espresso pods. (Dark wood, dim lighting, staff all in suits. Pictures of George Clooney everywhere.) But it turned out to be an excellent discovery, as the previous tenants had left behind wussy light-roasted pods, so we were able to pick up some better ones.

I'm just saying, it's a lot of steps to figure out. Hardly anything gets roasted, boiled, and then thrown away.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

NES controller-controlled espresso machine!

I don't know what anything on that link meant.

If you were a seven year old girl or a ten year old girl, do you think you would like these as stocking stuffers?

Lee, that's a dangerous site. So many tempting things: the Seven Deadly Sins Wristbands, "What Would a Pirate Do?" Spin Folder, Jane Austen action figures...

I have spent the last 20 minutes making my cats insane with catnip, brushing and a sheet of irridescent plastic. Only stopped because I cracked my fingers against the table leg so hard I teared up.

I guess I really ought to pay bills, huh?

On the bus they're advertising a coffee machine that tells you the weather. Shrug.

Does it make recommendations based on the weather?

Today, it's damp and in the low 60s. We recommend a smooth french roast...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Would "foggy" be commenting on the weather or just the state of your decaffeinated brain?
