Drink Koffee?

See? I'm back even sooner than I thought. I am about to run out and get some coffee this morning, but I have four and a half (the number keeps going up as I write this - I started at 2!) things to relate about it first.

1a) Glen and I were in New Haven on Friday. There is a very cute little coffee shop called Koffee? that we were in (twice), and they had Vanilla Buttercream flavored coffee that day. Very tasty.

1b) Glen claims that coffee flavored with a shot of syrup after brewing and coffee flavored while in the bean state should taste the same. I disagree with him, and think that coffee flavored with syrup tastes much more sugary. (Hence, I prefer the flavored-while-still-in-bean-state varieties.) Thoughts?

2) Eric put the entirety of his American Express cashback on my Starbucks card yesterday. I think I'm now funded for coffee through the end of the year!!

3) Apparently, there's a magnet out there which shows a woman trapped in the 50s drinking a cup of coffee with the caption, "Drink coffee. Do stupid things faster and with more energy." Heh. Sounds about right.

4) The placebo effect. Generally, I go get coffee, drink a few mouthfuls of it, and then the rest of it sits in the cup on my desk the remainder of the day. Yet, somehow, I usually still manage to think I'm caffeinated. Someone suggested to me that that's how decaf works, but I think if I knew it was decaf, I would be just as sleepy after the entire cup of it than before! ("We've secretly replaced Jen's usual coffee with this cup of decaf. Let's see if she notices!")
