Gasp. I Like a Kelly Clarkson Song. And, Is That A Grande Or Venti ?

Howdy, fine readers and GENTLE readers:


Much to my disbelief, I really like a Kelly Clarkson song. I am waiting for the alarm to subside.
As I just
discovered,
it is called Mr. Know It All.

I can't help emitting a subtle "Yeah! YOU GO GIRL," When she states, "That's Why I'm Leaving You Lonely, Lonely."
THEN I say, "Yeah! SING IT, KELLY!!" until whoever is around me stops staring at me.

Perhaps I Am Becoming Anti Starbucks

I visited a Starbucks store today.
I have not been there in a while... (In fact, Starbucks is not what it was in its heyday of 1997 or 1998.)

Ha ha. The picture is not really from Starbucks.

I paid $4.60 for a medium drink. Pretty high for a silly little "iced coffee."

So I will just address the store directly. Starbucks: you seem to be the last "refuge" for people who want desperately to look cool while on a laptop.

Also, a bunch of people were chatting in separate intimate conversations.
I could not tell if they were ACTUALLY doing something important, or if they each were lucky enough to have the glow of looking cool.

As I zig zagged through the outdoor tables, not making eye contact on purpose (I wasn't one of them!), I found myself thinking, "am I now Anti Starbucks?" I am not sure.
But, at least I know how to say "grande" and "venti."

Coldplay has a new album. Please buy, or expect future reprimands.
Goodbye,

Alice
