I woke up today at 6:30. I actually had breakfast (some organic imitation Pop-Tarts). Now I'm at work and there's no coffee. This has everybody sad.

qotd: Favored method of caffeine delivery, and quantity thereof?

My big project is due today. It's done, but I'm sweeping over it over and over again to make sure I don't miss any typos or stupid stuff like that. At least it's all written. After the due date, there will probably be drinking.

QotD: Coke.

Coffee of the Gorilla kind. Or Illy when at the office. And generally more than I should drink.

QOTD: Coffee, usu. "Organic" French Roast. ±8 cups, by the measurement on the pot.

Addict, though I have taken a year off now & again to prove to myself that I can.

How do you have negative 8 cups?

I'm with Rabid on the French Roast coffee. Freshly brewed and black, about five times a day. He must mean give or take 8 cups, Fluffy.

What Paco said. "give or take" was more work than "option + shift + =" to key in.

Of course now that's all moot, heh. Must be all the coffee. :lol:

Me too, 'cept I try not to go over two cups a day. (I usually end up drinking three though)

Folgers = My Budweiser coffee
Ethiopian = My Heineken

(I don't actually drink much Budweiser or Heineken but you get my point)

It was busy this morning, but its slowing down this afternoon, almost lunch time. I'm a wee bit hungover from the game yesterday but its not really all that bad.

Roll Call: Working, and then practicing with one of the bands. I am trying to stay in songwriting mode for FAWM/RPM. Anyone with good drinking stories, please send 'em along. :)

QotD: Coffee, usually one cup in the morning. Sometimes another one at work if I need it. Also: diet soda* and sugar free Red Bull.

*I have no brand allegiance.

qotd: Caffeine makes me sick, but I like coffee. Energy drinks just mess with my stomach, and caffeine pills are just lame, but if you need them ... who am I to stop you?

I knew what you meant, but I was giving you a hard time. ±8 means exactly either -8 or 8. ~8 means around 8. I am, as always, a huge math nerd.

I actually don't drink a lot of coffee. Maybe 2-3 cups per week. I go through phases.

Wuzzat cute little squiggle before the around 8 called? He's so darlin'!

We bought our new house last Friday. Spent the weekend taking down wallpaper. Why anyone puts up wallpaper is beyond me. Way beyond me. I hate the stuff. It's hard to put up correctly, any flaw is glaringly obvious, when it gets a little old it looks pretty crummy, and it's a mountain of work to take down. I'm not even convinced it's less work than block printing or stenciling by hand.

I drink coffee, black no sugar, nearly constantly. The super-strong Peet's/Starbucks stuff is kind of fun for short sprints, but it gives the beverage a bad name. Home- or office-made is right for the marathon. French press is best, but drip is fine.

Yeah, I love the coffee from my French press, even if I only get <a href="http://beesbuzz.biz/blog/e/2008/01/22-m ... .php">half a cup at a time</a>.

QOTD: Crack cocaine. I just love the smell of eggs and bacon in the morning, with the intoxicating smell of tweak wafting through the air. It brings back those wonderful memories of when I was a little boy, watching Saturday morning cartoon, while Mom and Dad were free basing at the kitchen table. Image

......annnnnnd scene. Image
Kids, stay in school and don't do drugs.

No more than 2 cups of coffee in the morning. Any more than that and I get too productive.

And in the summer, ice coffee reigns supreme. Anyone do the cold-press method? Put grinds in a French press with cold water overnight (~8 hrs). Then just add ice and cream for heaven. Or icecream for that matter...
