David Archuleta just broke my heart.

Actually the money sucking head honchos at American Idol broke my heart. Little Archie was going to do a $1 concert/q&a type event at the E center on friday before he heads back to L.A. to start rehearsals for the tour and although there was a verbal agreement that it was ok.. apparently today they changed their minds and said no, he is not allowed to make any public appearances in any city until after the AI tour has passed through that city - so they had to cancel it.

I was beyond excited about this, especially since I probably won't be able to go see him on the AI tour this summer.. Why did they have to mess with me like this!?

Beans & Brews

Beans & Brews needs to change their name to Beans & We dont care what you really asked for when you ordered because we are just going to make the sickest fucking coffee drink ever and you are going to pay for it and not realize how gross it is until you are halfway home but by then you will be so angry and annoyed you won't even want to bother coming back to yell at us.

Seriously though, I have TRIED B&Bs. I really have. I would much rather support a local chain of businesses rather than starbucks, but when Starbucks has at least a tiny bit of consistency and their coffee dosn't make me want to vomit like yours its really hard to give you my money.

I know its possible for your beans to make delicious coffee. I worked at a coffee shop on 3rd South when I was 17, and was trained by a higher-up from Beans and Brews. We bought our beans and a lot of equipment from them and they also trained us on how to make the perfect shot of espresso, and my shots of espresso were some of the best many people had ever had. I know that your guidelines and way of doing things can produce a delicious coffee beverage.. so why have I never, not even once received a decent one!?

It leads me to the only other conclusion I can think of. You only hire the most inept, rude, know nothing about coffee or working in a coffee shop people you can find, and do not train them at all.

Being clever is overrated.

I hate you all. I just spent the last 20 minutes trying to come up with a clever name for this blog and EVERYTHING was taken. Some haven't been updated for years, some were never updated, and one was some little girl's that type LiKe ThiZ! Its pretty inconsiderate to use my clever little name and then make a mockery of the english alphabet.

So, I decided on this. You get cookies if you know the reference.
