Your Local Starbucks Update
Yeah, I always get the skinny on what's goin' on at The 'Bucks (see The Office, Season 1, Episode 6--"Hot Girl"). I walked in today and saw they had just installed ovens, and my brain went, "Hm...ovens...what in the world are they doing now? Making pizza?" but it turns out that in the next few weeks they'll begin serving hot breakfast sandwiches and will be able to heat up your favorite bagel, muffin, or whatever...we'll see how it turns out. I, for one, am always excited to see what the Geniuses at corporate have come up with next--and I mean that in complete and total seriousness. Those guys are truly geniuses. SIDE NOTE: Starbucks is one of the Top Ten Globally Trusted Brands. Yeah, Globally...
Also, for the past few weeks Starbucks has been trying to make their "for here" cups more visible an option for customers. You will notice at the front counter a mug tree with the three sizes. Well, I went to do my devotions this morning at Starbucks, and decided to go ahead and get my grande nonfat Caramel Macchiatto in a"for here" cup. It was awesome. The drink seems much larger due to the fact that the mug is very large--and for people that love their foam and caramel drizzle, it is a win/win. I really, really loved it. Oh yeah, and you get 10 cents off...I love it. I think I'm going now...
Dinner and a movie tonight with the wife. Got a gift card for the restaurant and free movie tix--way awesome.
Going to see Children of Men. Mike hates it, but People and EW love it. We'll see...

Just heard on Star this morning that the Apprentice might be coming to San Diego. Donald Trump Jr. was on the show this morning and he said that he was here scotting locations ect. (not that that has anything to do with "Bucks" but I just thought you might like to know.
^^Nice
You do realize that they charge you tax when you get the drink for here, right?
Oh, and they've been doing the breakfast sandwich thing up in Northern Cal for quite some time now, actually. Although I've never tried one.
^^Nope, no tax. That's Coffee Bean...GEEZ
You know what you are?
You're a Starbucks slut.
As for Children of Men, let me clarify. I never said it wasn't a good movie (which is what the mags would've been grading). I said I didn't like it - in that, I didn't enjoy watching it at all. It just rubbed me the wrong way and I felt uncomfortable and unsettled the whole time, and I also didn't like the supposed heroine of the movie either. Just felt like walking out.
You are.
Yeah, no tax for a "for here" cup, just a cup discount.
But didn't I tell you about the new Warm Sandwiches? They'll basically be like an Egg McMuffin, but 3 times as big and a million times tastier, for about the same price. Good deal. 
Warming was supposed to start this next Tuesday, but since most stores in this area haven't had their Health Department checkups yet, we won't be starting doing them any time soon. Props to your Starbucks if they are!
What's Children of Men? I haven't heard of it, seen previews at the theatre, or seen commercials. We saw the new Jennifer Garner movie, Catch & Release, last night. It made me uncomfortable and I wouldn't recommend it, although my girlfriend loved it.
You are such a Starbucks groupie! I've still yet to go.Not a big coffee fan here. Or sugar fan.
^^Lots of stuff you could try...I haven't heard of Children of Men either...geezzzzzz
Lets set it up!
