The trouble with books is that you begin to think that, like the events in the story, your own life is also a beautifully crafted rollercoaster, jam packed with symbolism and allegory. That barista who keeps looking at the clock- is she a reminder of death? That coin you found on the street- a symbol of your lost heritage? Pretty soon, you start thinking that you are the star in some existentialist novel and you get really self-centered and start your own blog.In other news, today I went to Starbucks and I didn't understand the whole "take your drink when they call it out" system (I'm a foreigner) and instead of my medium Americano, I ended up with someone else's fancy latte with about an inch and a half of caramel at the bottom.

Haha. I related to this post although there's no way I would go near anything with caramel in it. I did, however, have my first iced mocha of the season yesterday at fair trade.
Loved your video on Sweden! Very entertaining!
Yeah, the caramel was certainly a bad idea, but I felt guilty to for stealing like a 4 dollar drink, and I wanted to destroy the evidence ASAP.
Congrats on the first summer day at Fair Trade! How exciting! I miss Madison now...
And one more thing about FT: All of their tables do the "lopsided tip back and forth" thing. Did you know that? Every single one.
I was not aware of that. Now I want to run around testing all of the tables...
Well, things may have improved since back in my day...
