Coffee

Every morning I drink two cups of coffee: one with milk and sugar, and one black and bitter.

I traded in this Crate&Barrel "Sushi for Two" set I got at Christmas for a French press coffee maker. I've always kinda wanted a French press. It seems like the purest way to make coffee. No filters, no machines with uncleanable internal parts. Just boiling water, stainless steel, glass, and fresh ground coffee beans. Awesome.

So, every day I make coffee. I haven't got it down perfect just yet. I always end up with a cup and a half or so. So I make the first cup with milk and sugar, enjoy it, and then pour the remainder for my second cup so as not to waste it. And now it's kind of become a tradition.

I didn't used to be able to drink black coffee, but now I enjoy it.

Things are always changing.

Three Movie Reviews

Hot Fuzz. It ruled. Go see it. I'm not gonna prattle on about the details. Either we have similar taste or we don't.

Also, My Super Exgirlfriend got a bad rep from somewhere, but I watched it anyway, and it was hilarious with only a few totally cheesy moments.

I also had some of my cousins over to watch Idiocrasy again. I love that movie. Thank you again, Andrea, for getting it for me. Mike Judge is awesome.

And in other movie news, I was thinking about expanding my DVD collection, and I thought, "Dude, I need Big Trouble in Little China! It's a classic!" And then a few days after thinking this, I was in I Love Video (my favorite movie rental/store in Austin) and I saw it for sale! Totally got it. Totally gonna have a Big Trouble in Little China movie night complete with takeout Chinese food.

By the by, the billboard out front of I Love Video had this fantastic quote today:

"A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer. -Mitch Hedburg"

Hehe.
