I'm Not a Caffeine Whore Part II

First off, let me just say Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2008 is much better than 2007 because let's face it....2007 sucked for the most part. Anyways here are my resolutions: 1. Go to the gym 3 times a week; 2. Stop drinking so much coffee; 3. Make the right decision on where to go for college; 4. Spend quality time with friends (home, college, and GSW); and 5. Not completely lose contact with people when I graduate. Let's see how many of those I'll actually keep...

So I've decided that my body hates me - I went for a run today and almost died...no really I felt like I was having a stroke...and I figure that that's not a good thing. This is weird because usually I'm a decent endurance jogger so I'm going to blame it on several weeks of not jogging plus not eating plus drinking coffee an hour before I went running. Damn you coffee.

Also I need to stop waking up at 2-3pm, but it's hard because I go to bed at 2 am. Also why does 10 pm to 2 am fly by? Why do these four hours feel so much shorter than all the others? I blame the internet...damn you internet.

Finally here is the quote of the day:
Friend: "If I had a friend like that I'd strangle myself! Thank God she's my enemy." - oh Country Day drama....

I wish everyone the best of luck in 2008 and I hope I'll see all of you soon!

I'm Not a Caffeine Whore...No Really

So as I sit in Caribou (yet again) and do work on my computer (yet again) I wonder if I have finally become addicted to caffeine or if i am merely addicted to the atmosphere of the coffee house, that once chic invention which seemed to promise European (mostly French)-inspired Bohemian coolness, but now can be found everywhere - including on the backwoods of this country - I mean I'm not trying to be an urbane snob, but seriously do our roadways really need coffee houses, or more generally do American drivers really need coffee while trying to navigate their landrovers? I know I don't.

But I digress, yes I love coffee houses, especially the one I'm in, but maybe I should start to invest in other drinks that can be found here, like tea or even water, and no I don't mean the three dollar Fiji or Smart water which I have become so fond of, but like tap water, but then again we're in a drought....so maybe I'll just stick to my skim, two splenda, medium lattes and call it a day.

I'm in a very odd mood for which I blame the rain - I mean when you get so little of it for five months I guess even the smallest drops cause rain-inspired kookiness (by the way, look at the spelling of that word - yeah that's what I'd call kooky)....

Readings at the moment: old issues of The Atlantic and Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise

Expect one or two more posts today - anything to avoid having to go to the gym....

As always, with love a la americain,
