My friend Mark recently wrote a very trippy post on his blog; something to do with Starbucks, apparently. It almost defies explanation, but I thought I’d give it a go.
Starbucks
I detect a tale of woe coming.
Pressure…
What?
Too much…
Is it?
Yes, it is, what with Starbucks’ outlandish sizes and high prices. Very stressful.
What IS?
That depends on what the definition of “is” is.
FOCUS [x7?]
Trying.
Hang in there, mate.
God?
Starbucks makes one cry out to God for help. We’ve all been there, Mark. We’ve all been there. We feel your pain.
Two eyes . . . two tears
breathe
Ah, good. The panic subsides. Starbucks will not claim another victim!
reach out.
The twelfth step.

I think he’s completely lost his mind by this point.

Join us for the next instalment on Mark’s epic quest to find good coffee. Or to throw Starbucks into the fires of Mount Doom. Or something.

The LAST thing we need is people supporting Gloria Jean’s… after all, Hillsongs have got that covered without all of us!

Hillsong and every second other church as well, it seems. I went to one recently and they had a semi-cafe setup with Gloria Jeans coffee, but in proper mugs at least.

YES, the mug thing drives me NUTS! If I go to a cafe and I’m going to sit in the cafe and drink my coffee I want a ceramic mug. If I wanted to drink awful coffee out of a paper cup I’d go to McCafe.
