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!
I’ll Take a Small. No, Not a Tall. Just a Small.

A very entertaining video posted on YouTube by katz20two talking about “the three sizes for unnamed coffee shop: tall, grande, venti.”

Comedian Tom Mabe Phone Pranks at Heine Bros.
Monday, October 26th, 2009I don’t remember what I was searching for on Saturday, but the Google search results included Heine Brothers’ page on Twitter and their latest entry caught my eye; it read “Have you seen this video yet??? Filmed at the HBC, right here in Louisville!!! http://bit.ly/1HSyqR.” Me being the curious type, I had to follow the link; this brought up a video with the caption, “Tom Mabe: Eavesdropping. Tom Mabe has awkward phone conversations in public.” I had no idea who Tom Mabe was, but I watched anyways. It didn’t take long to realize this was filmed at the Longest Avenue Heine Brothers. After doing a little research, I discovered he is a famous comedian from right here in Louisville and I had seen some of his skits before. After more searching, I figured out this video clip was taken from Episode 7 (part 1 online) of his Mabe in America TV series on CMT. You never know what you’ll get with a cup of coffee.

Quote: "I Like Coffee So Much That I Have Tea…"
Saturday, October 24th, 2009“I like coffee so much that I have tea for breakfast: The first cup of the day in particular is so good that I’m afraid I won’t be able to properly appreciate it when I am half-asleep. Therefore, I celebrate it two hours later when I am fully conscious.”
-Christoph Niemann, Abstract City Blog – New York Times
I came across this quote yesterday on Christoph Niemann’s Abstract City Blog, posted on the New York Times’ web site. Many people use coffee to help wake them up, but it appears Neimann looks at the all-important morning coffee in a different light, and I’m with him. Coffee doesn’t wake me up, or keep me awake for that matter; I drink it because I love the taste of coffee.
Although the date posted on his blog is from back in December, 2008, this was pretty creative and entertaining. As I began looking through his other entries on Abstract City Blog, I found out I like not just his coffee stuff, but his other work too. This led to a Google search, which quickly resulted in me discovering his personal web site, http://www.ChristophNiemann.com/. So after you get done checking out his coffee page, go visit his personal site. It’s worth the time.
