caffeinating.
i am happy, i am high...i think i am addicted to coffee. this city loves it coffee and takes it very seriously. i've cultivated an appreciation for coffee ever since coming here, trying out different types of coffee and of course the different coffee houses/cafes. so far i'm really impressed with the quality they've got. apart from starbucks, i've tried tully's, peet's, bean and bagel, vivace and bulldog news. my favourites so far would be peet's peppermint mocha, bean and bagel's latte, and starbucks white chocolate mocha. yum yum yum. everyday after school i look forward to getting coffee...making a pit stop at a coffee joint en route to the apartment.
anyway...i could get into a lengthy discussion about coffee but i must be disciplined and start on my readings. :p
it was a really lovely saturday. gorgeous blue skies and sunny weather, the smile inducing sort. 5 degrees outside so it's not too cold. off to the farmer's market in the university district, it's an outdoor market where vendors set up stalls in tents selling fresh produce and groceries from around washington. we ended up buying spiced apple cider and pink salmon fillet.
stopped by cafe on the ave...had a delish lemon bar and a brownie. met a fellow singaporean there so we had a nice long chat. laid back ambience and chillout music. my kinda place.
then to bulldog news for the essential latte. i need to stay awake to finish nietzsche, re-read foucault and althusser.
its gonna get philsophical.
