There's a Starbucks or Tully's on every block here. Every morning, 90% of the people I walk by are holding a red Starbucks cup, hurrying to their respective workplace. I guess coffee is their battery pack. They need it to get going in the morning.

Now I'm not an avid coffee drinker, but working downtown, I almost feel like I NEED a red Starbucks cup in my hand to fit in too. I felt kind of groggy this morning so I went to the cafe upstairs and bought a cup. Doesn't taste as good as people make it look.

And it makes me think, how much money would they save if they bought coffee and creamer from safeway, stashed it at their desk, and made themselves a cup every morning. But I guess the fact that you pay that much for Starbucks makes it taste that much better? I don't get it.

To move on to a completely unrelated topic, what's the deal with thread count on sheets? (I was browsing randomly online) Supposedly, the higher the thread count, the better and softer the sheets. First of all, you lie on top of it. It's so thin, it's not like it provides any cushioning. The whole point of a sheet is to cover your matress. That's all. And secondly, unless you sleep naked, I don't see how softer makes any difference.

Yay. It's Friday! Can't wait till tonight!!!
