Javier writes to ask why I drink yellow coffee. The answer is that the light sucks first thing in the morning and I spend little time balancing white and stuff before I am caffeinated. There is the whole, dude, why do you put cream in your coffee? Because I prefer cafe au laits or cafe con leches and the Coffee Geeks have said that that is not heresy. 1440.
The coffee really looks better and tastes yummy. I pledge to, from henceforth, feel really bad if the shots come out yellow. Thanks Javier. Please send in a Guest Cup. Previous Guest Cups may be found here. 1441.
Coffee Cup 1442

What films are there to look forward to? 49 Up, has it really been another 7 years? Eragon, never read the books but flying dragons look fun. Anything by Zhang Yimou, whom Deacon passes and wonders who he is? Smoking Aces, because John Woo does not make movies anymore. Still trying to get to Prestige and D, but really, not that hard. 1442.

I am reading this quote, “none of us is as smart as all of us.” And I think, yeah but not all of us are registered to vote and actually vote. And then I think, I have met some of you, and there must be some fricking smart people out there to bump up the curve. And then I wonder, if they just meant the sum of smartness, cause if it was a curve then at least half of us would be above of the median. And then I think, well, unless N is an odd number, then it would be less than half. 1443.
