I’ve Been Stabbed. I’ll Take a Coffee, Please.

Free Dunkin’ Doughnuts Sample Has Arrived
Monday, December 21st, 2009At the beginning of November I posted about free Dunkin’ Doughnuts coffee samples. I ordered mine when I wrote that post and it came in the mail today. It took a little while to get here, but it’s free so I’m not complaining. This was an even better surprise because I had forgotten all about it. Maybe I’ll try it on Wednesday, my last day of work until after Christmas. Or, I’m sure it would be good tomorrow morning, too. When I first saw this, it appeared to be a temporary promotion, but now it looks like it’s an ongoing thing; free samples are still available.
Seven New Coffee Plants Now Documented
Monday, December 21st, 2009Read the full BBC News article, “‘Bumper year’ for botanical finds.” Posted 00:06 GMT 12/22/09.
The article goes on to talk about the “Seven wild coffee species also feature on the list of new species, most of which were discovered in the mountains of northern Madagascar.” I wonder if they taste any good. The BBC has a picture showing Coffea ambongensis and Coffea boinensis, “whose ‘beans’ are more than twice the size of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica).”
It’s Monday Again
Monday, December 21st, 2009
It’s Monday again. At least it’s a short week for most people! Although this weekend did fly by, I don’t really mind Mondays that much at my new job; it doesn’t hurt I only work 3 days this week since I’m off Christmas and Christmas Eve. For those that strongly dislike Mondays though, just think, at least you didn’t clean off the wrong car like the guy in the video above. Or if you did clean off the wrong car, at least you know you aren’t alone!
