maybe I'll run into an ex & have to grab a stranger to be my pretend boyfriend

An episode in the tragedy of my life: I was happily washing my coffee pot (because I'm weird and like doing the dishes) and then it just...broke. In my hands. While I was rinsing it out. Apparently the glass just got tired of retaining its coffee pot shape and gave up on life. Who knew that happened?! Coffee pots shouldn't be allowed to have

Have you tried Gevalia? You can get a free coffee maker + something else with its new deals.

[meiface]

IT'S FUNNY YOU SAY THAT because they're the coffee I currently have! I had no idea they were offering coffee makers though. I should look into that.

[kasugai_gummie]

I think their most recent live offer is: http://gevalia.com/welcomeback

I haven't used it yet (even though I want that steel scoop omgeeeerd) since I've cut back on coffee and subsist primarily on tea nowadays. Wouldn't know what to do with an extra coffee machine anyway. |D;;

[meiface]

Honestly I really should just look into a replacement carafe for my machine... I have managed to cut back to just one cup a day! But I can't go without it, hah.

Your birthday is tomorrow, right? In case I forgot to tell you, I love you and happy birthday! ♥ We don't talk much these days, but I still think of you, and you are still one of the best people I know. I miss and adore you! ^-^

[meiface]

The 24th! I guess that is tomorrow for you, yes!

alsdkf oh Maiii, thank you so much. ♥ It is the same for me! I really need to suck less at life and send out catch-up emails to people or something, especially since everyone is migrating off LJ. Or maybe give in and Tumblr. Do you Tumble? ;) I hope you're doing well though!

[hoyah]

I do kind of tumble, but not much. >< I am mostly on Twitter, lol.

The coffee pot was just too sad to continue living. Clearly, Mei, you should have taken it to coffee pot therapy before its inevitable breakdown.

I was never much of a coffee drinker but now that I've started working professionally, I don't know what to do on my coffee breaks other than, you know, pop down to the coffee shop on the first floor of the library and get coffee. /o\ It really is part of the work culture.

Your cooking sounds delicious, and peach crisp omg.

[meiface]

BUT I WAS SO GOOD TO IT WHY WAS IT SAD? :(( Now I just feel terrible.

Coffee is such an acquired taste/habit - and then the caffeine addiction sinks its claws into you and then the aroma of fresh coffee is like heaven. On the bright side, new research is proving coffee in moderate amounts has health benefits!

Ugh spending your day around books and with a coffee shop on the first floor. I AM SO ENVIOUS.

That is indeed strange! And probably there is some form of connection available on Craiglist, I assume mostly because there is all kinds of connection available on Craiglist, but I am no expert. I'll probably just...buy a replacement carafe if I can find one. Or get a new coffeemaker altogether, idk!

They are pretty simple! They are just pork chops marinated with soy sauce and a splash of vinegar and wine, seasoned with garlic (ginger optional), salt, pepper, cumin and sugar. Baked or fried works, though I currently have no operational oven so everything on the stove!

YELLOW SQUASH AND ZUCCHINI OM NOM NOM. foods of my childhood.

also re: Caffeine - soda for the weekends? it has a shitton of caffeine and is cheap!

[meiface]

DELICIOUS FOODS.

Tragically, soda never seems to do anything for me in terms of caffeine and all the sugar makes my mouth feel gross. D: I am just bad at drinking things.
