Today was a good day…

A while ago I posted about how BLD on Beverly had “killer French press coffee” and I wasn’t fuckin’ lying man. Their coffee is so good I finally asked em what they make it in and bought my own off Amazon.com. I’ve already had about ten cups so far today since I busted this chrome bad-boy out of it’s box this afternoon and I see no signs of slowing down… this could be an all-nighter folks. I’m so high on French Roast I feel like I’m on stage with the fucking Eagles playing “Victim Of Love”. I never dug The Eagles as a kid cuz I was into shitty punk rock and you couldn’t like both, but the older I get the more I’m feelin’ their records… even if they did rip Gram Parsons off. Besides, after seeing that “Fallen Angel” dvd, as much as I love Gram’s songs the dude was a straight up trust-funded POSER anyhow. Homeboy took limos to The Troubadour while the rest of The Bryds loaded in. Anyways, sorry about the tangent (I told you I was loaded) and back to the French Press… If you’re a fan of beans and water, pick yourself up one of these bad boys ASAP right here. It really doesn’t get any better than this…

Another thing that was killer about today… I heard that The Jesus & Mary Chain are practicing right now somewhere in Los Angeles and after they play their first show in 9 years @ Coachella, they are going to start making another record. Sweet fuckin’ tits is all I gotta say about that.

If William Reid happens to be reading this… give me my fucking Ipod back bro, I know you stole it. Long story…

Frieling rules. I love mine, even if it takes longer to preheat than a Bodum.

Commenters, if your Bodum breaks you can get a replacement carafe at Sur La Table for $12. Though I just might have to get the stainless one next time, budget allowing.

First of all, thanks for the secondary buzz this morning just from reading your post! Secondly, after my laughing stopped, I had to search YouTube for this:

Off to boil some water and make coffee in my EvaSolo:

What’s a great press without great coffee? You’ve heard the term “fresh-roasted coffee”, how about “last Saturday!”

I found that Victor’s Liquor & Delicatessen (cnr Bronson & Franklin) roasts coffee most Saturdays in the roaster that’s in the liquor store. My favorite is “Brazil Bourbon.” Aromatherapy just grinding the beans!

(no, I _don’t_ work there, just love fresh roasted coffee!)

Nobody calling themselves “The Dude” is ever allowed to like the fucking Eagles. That is seriously wack.
Travis

Yer right… fuck. Ok, I hate the Eagles again. Sorry.

Today was a good day…
