Caffeine

A transcript of my recent interaction with the woman behind the counter at the place where I get coffee:

Me: You're not getting decaf anytime soon, are you?
Her: Well we have decaf espresso that we can make into an Americano for you.
Me: Maybe next time. I just don't like to get so wired.
Her: What, you don't like the shakes?
Me: No, not really.
Her: You're the only one.


By the way, a woman gave birth in the lobby of my office building today. And I finished 100% of my crossword puzzle.

Man, I'm in a groove today. This comes from Andrew Sullivan:

Good Mark Twain Quote

I empathize with him:

"What is the chief end of man?--to get rich. In what way?--dishonestly if we can; honestly if we must."

Kate Winslet explains why she decided to do The Reader. So true, so true.

Japanese Finance Minister Drunk at G-7

Apparently Hoichi Nakagawa had about 10 too many drinks before taking the stage at the recent G-7 summit. According to the NYTimes, he ended up resigning. But really, can you blame the guy?

For the younger crowd out there...

Steve-O's out!

There are few who can appreciate the amazingness of this line from an MSNBC article:

"Former "Jackass" star Steve-O is celebrating his release from a California mental institution, where he spent four months recovering from drug abuse last year, by appearing on the eighth season of "Dancing With the Stars."

More Winter? Dang...

Punxatawney Phil saw his shadow, I'm afraid. Six more weeks of winter. And on such a nice day, too.

THIS is What's Wrong With New York:

The poor trophy wives who married Wall Street bankers are having troubles of their own, according to the New York Times. About 30 of the poor gals have started meeting regularly, and they even have their own blog:

'In addition to meeting once or twice weekly for brunch or drinks at a bar or restaurant, the group has a blog, billed as “free from the scrutiny of feminists,” that invites women to join “if your monthly Bergdorf’s allowance has been halved and bottle service has all but disappeared from your life.”'

Their lives sound so tragic. It always amazes me that people like this exist. But there are lots of them, and their population density is high in these parts. Lucky me.

Coffee Prevents Dementia??

So says at least one study:

"After controlling for numerous socioeconomic and health factors, including high cholesterol and high blood pressure, the scientists found that the subjects who had reported drinking three to five cups of coffee daily were 65 percent less likely to have developed dementia, compared with those who drank two cups or less. People who drank more than five cups a day also were at reduced risk of dementia, the researchers said, but there were not enough people in this group to draw statistically significant conclusions."

The study makes no mention of the social repurcussions: legions of red-eyed coffee maniacs swamping local Starbucks' and roaming the streets late at night in search of their next caffeine fix.
