Dream Journal
Last night I dreamt my family was making garlic bread and as they were doing so I was stealing piece after piece. Later, I was preparing myself a sandwich only to gorge further on slices of bread. Eventually my mother grew so frustrated that she began lambasting me about my weight, claiming that she was too embarrassed of what her friends would think if they ever saw me. And then I woke up.

time to play coffee snob for a moment...
Seriously Starbucks, I forgot how much I hate your coffee. As if your precious Pike’s Place blend isn’t bitter enough, you seemed to have trained your army of baristas—both in China and the US—to burn the espresso and overheat the milk as to produce a concoction that not only offends my taste buds but manages to eat away at the lining in my stomach.
