How is it possible?
Fifty Starbucks within a mile of me, and not one is open at 8pm. They all close at 6pm!!! Unbelievable. It's pretty funny to see eight coffee houses on the same block in this city, yet I can't get a java chip frappuccino at 8pm.
Anyone see the penultimate Apprentice? There's no drama left. Kendra dominated. I had a feeling from the very beginning that a college grad would win. Does wonders for my ego, too, to know that a degree matters. There is a certain social maturity apparent among the book smarts that seems to be missing from the street smarts. That's a pretty broad generalization to make, but that's what this whole exercise was about, right? Maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see.
Ah, last night in the Emerald City. It's been beautiful and dry my entire stay. Very deceiving, like the city is trying to trick me into thinking it's a viable place to live some day. I had a great time wandering the city (even if I couldn't get a freakin' blended coffee). It definitely helped having someone to hang out with. Jeff and I went to a sushi house tonight, and I broadened his horizons, introducing him to the wonders of toro, sake (the salmon, not the drink...c'mon, he's underage!), hamachi, etc.
But now I'm ready to head back home, sleep in my own bed, enjoy the height and firmness of my pillow, and kick Andrew and Hubert's ass in tennis, hearts, Mario Party...pretty much everything except wood-working. They definitely have me there.

Yes - it is quite irritating that some Starbucks close so early. I've conducted a survey of Starbucks in the Palo Alto area and have only found 2 that stay open past 8:30. Do they think that people don't want coffee late in the evening? That's when I need it the most!
mcdonalds in the hospital is open from 4am - 3 am...there's that window when coffee is unavailable.
Then start your own Starbucks!
You see, you see? I see things as they are and I say, 'no!' Uh, wait,
you see things as they are not and you s- Wait, uh, you see things, do you see things as they are? What do you say when you see things?
If I see things as they are, I would ask 'why' or 'why not?'
i dont even want to begin to understand drewyays comment.
kendra definitely seemed to have more class than the other girl, but i couldnt tell if the producers were skewing it... i guess we'll find out next week!
He doesn't know O'Brien. If he knew O'Brien he wouldn't have the sign!
If anything, the producers would want to skew things to make it seem really even, so that there is a lot of suspense. As it is, it's pretty clear that Kendra is going to win. I don't think Tana gave the producers much to work with, unfortunately.
let's play tennis tomorrow night... i'll be ready after slacking during bay to breakers
