Awwwwww....

Yay for coffee though? :)

Miss ya!

[midknightwriter]

SBUX 10min from my house. Failing all else, yay to that.

It's called a red-eye.
Coffee with two shots is a black-eye.

And because there are people who order it, our manager named a triple shot with coffee a purple-eye. Personally, I think he should have stuck to something with one syllable, but it's infrequent enough that no one really cares.

I'm sure you'll have a gaggle of pals in no time with that winning personality of yours.

So I can order these at Starbucks then?

[privare]

You can!
Except for the 'purple-eye' because Dwayne made it up.

To tell you the truth though, a grande coffee at SBUX has 550 mg of caffeine. Compare that with the wimpy 35mg in a shot of espresso and I wonder what you're paying for. (55¢ per extra shot)
A grande americano has only 105 mg of caffeine.
As an additional comparison, NoDoz maximum strength is only slightly more, at 200mg.

Caffeine aside, they're still pretty tasty, which is why I like 'em.

And apparently, they're called the "High-test" out here. Geez. Everything revolves around oil & gas.

Heh. Better than topping it up with the purple Kool-Aid.

[privare]

Touché.

I had a dream last night where you were back here for some party. I asked why you came from Calgary to St. Kitts just for a party and you said it was because your friends were down here.
How strange is that dream now?

Where are you planning on visiting around Calgary for weekend trips?

[midknightwriter]

Only strange because I lack the time & resources to come down.

I'm doing a comprehensive exploration of downtown this weekend. Beyond that, no idea.
