uhhhhh...


HALLO.

This is one of those posts you post when you really have nothing at all to say for yourself but are a bit too wired on Espresso Truffle and finishing most of an application and are too squirrelly to settle down and read or write what should be read or written and it's total utter spam and there's no redeeming value to it, but dammit, you need an excuse to compulsively check gmail and hear the happy little 'chime' thing so please please please reply to this post with randomness so I can have an excuse not to read St. Augustine.

THANK YOU.

THIIIIIIIIIIIS (http://www.starbucks.com/retail/nutrition_beverage_detail.asp?selProducts={3143B045-04F9-4CD5-A506-B6C0BE86F6F9}).

One of these (grande) keeps me vibrating the rest of the day. If I drink it before I teach, my gestures become McKay-like in their expansiveness and enthusiasm!

I love the very start of a caffine high - you fell like anything's possible.

I guess it's like what runners feel when the adrenaline kicks in... To which I say, why bother running when it takes far less time and effort to make coffee? :D

Happy Sheppard randomness for you! *points at icon*

(Also, I'm at work and being run off my feet and my god I need an excuse to compulsively check my email because smart people say smart things in my emails from LJ, and it's all just dumb people saying dumb things here at work.)

NNNNNNNNNNF JOE. Um, I could possibly lick his neck for the rest of the day.

Granted, this is not an especially intelligent thing to say *racks brain for something smart-and-intellectual-sounding* I got nothing :(

I find sometimes I have a longing for that little chime too. Espresso Truffle sounds delectable. And there should always be time to pop in and say hi! So, uhm, Hi and good luck with the not reading. ;)

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2008-11-24 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It is good good gooooood stuff!

And the not-reading is going very well so far! :D

Oh my God, ESPRESSO TRUFFLLLLLLLE

SO GOOD

It's like crack in a cup. I am only allowed to have like one a week, or I will drink them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. NOM NOM NOM

Yes! Yes, that's EXACTLY IT. Ever since [livejournal.com profile] dogeared told me about it, I have been drinking away money I should be saving and ridiculously overcaffeinating myself, BUT I CAN'T STOP.

Once again, I'm beyond bummed that we don't have Starbucks here. The Espresso Truffle thingie sounds delicious.


Hi, aesc, hi!!

I am not really a Starbucks junkie (I can make my own espresso just fine, om nom), but this is my overpriced kryptonite! *flaps*

Helloooooooo, copy-paste.

not copy-paste. Random paste of oooh, my computer has been hibernating and I have no idea what's in the buffer.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH WORSE...

John Sheppard catches a Pegasus cold the third week of Earth December and wanders dazedly around Atlantis for days, clutching a box of tissues, holding an Athosian quilt around his shoulders, and wearing these.

Rodney doesn't have the heart to send John back to his quarters when he shows up one afternoon looking miserable, even though the germs are doubtless staging an attack on Rodney's immune system as he tucks John against his side.

Aha! This is one of the reasons I adore you. You have provided me with the perfect opportunity to comment on how happy the Leo McGarry icon I keep seeing next to your name makes me. Is that LJ being weird, or is it your new default (with the happy!Rodney keyword)?

(LJ keeps randomly switching up one of my Sam icons with a CJ icon. Apparently LJ likes The West Wing?)

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2008-11-25 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I think it is LJ being weird??? For some reason, LJ keeps switching from Rodney to him at random intervals :D

Was never a fan of the West Wing, actually

Ah, randomness. My favorite subject! Isn't it amazing that the first week with snow, lots and lots of fluffy , pretty snow is also the week I get the first throat infection of the season and just want to curl up in bed and disappear.

It is amazingly unfortunate :( :( :( *sends you soothing tea and soothing Rodneys to keep you warm and company*

Um.

I am not allowed to have coffee. Or caffeine. Excepting for medicinal purposes. So I have not been able to relate to this feeling for a very long time.

But. Um. It is 10:20 (pm) and I just finished work for good tonight*

Random SGA Association for the day: Listing to Death Cab for Cutie's 'What Sarah Said' and hearing the line 'Love is watching someone die' and thinking of John and Rodney in 'The Shrine'

Seriously. How are there only FOUR episodes left? *baffles*

Also: *chime*

*In all defense for how horrific that might seem, I start work at 10 and finish at 6. Today, I worked through lunch, finished at 6, went to the doctor, came home, and started again at 9:20. So really. Only, like, an hour and a half longer than my day ought to have been

I read "espresso truffle" and thought you were wired from a piece of chocolate and was a little concerned and also interested in the chocolate.

Rodney has found that the right combination of caffeinated chocolate leads to robots. It's true.

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2008-11-25 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
From what I understand, there is actually an espresso truffle candy... And the coffee is that in liquid form :D :D :D

Robots! ♥

It's most unfair, you know, that there's no Starbucks in this corner of the world.
Nevertheless, this post is made of win, partly because of my mental picture of John wearing those bunny slippers.
*falls out of chair laughing*

Those are the best slippers EVER :D
