Cinnamon Asshole

  • October 14th, 2004

I was forced to scout out a Starbucks this morning due to my coffeemaker’s demise.  I’d heard that the Pumpkin Spice Lattes were back for the season and I love pumpkin anything.  I do not love this.  It tastes like gym socks.  At best, it tastes like gym socks soaked in pumpkin-flavored milk.  I had trouble detecting actual coffee.  How many damn squirts of syrup do they put in those cups before they make a latte?  Damn!  I might as well have been drinking straight from the syrup bottle like a hamster.

Not that hamsters drink from syrup bottles.  I have no idea what I’m talking about.

In other news, thank you thank you goes out to Whitters for the awesome dishtowels she sent as a housewarming gift and to Joooolie, who totally outdid herself with a set of gorgeous stemware that she etched herself with little stars.  She knows stars are my favorite shape, but in some cosmic twist of fate, I actually broke 4 of my wine glasses in the move; how did you know?  Beautiful!  Thank you both so much!

Next Stop: Oprah! Moxie Client on Dr. Phil!

We were super excited earlier this month when our client, Patricia of MotherinLawHell.com, told us that she was going to be on Dr. Phil’s show.  Woo!  That’s amazing to start.  But when we found out her website was going to be displayed on Dr. Phil’s “big screen” we were even more excited. National television? Syndicated even? Yes, please.

Last Friday the episode aired and I made sure to record it for posterity. Full disclosure: I don’t watch Dr. Phil often (ok, ever), but I was more than happy to watch it that day! And according to Patricia, the Dr. Phil staff “LOVE the design!” and think “it’s so FUN!”.  Yay! We’re thrilled to hear that since we pride ourselves on bold and happy designs. We do fun. Come and knock on our door, Dr. Phil’s staff. Anytime! smile

Yelp Goodness

Island Style Cafe (4/5) on Yelp

I had breakfast here with Lyn P., who recommended it and really, really enjoyed it. The place is really unassuming and since I rarely venture into Tierrasanta, I'd never have known it was there…
