i hate bad coffee. like, really hate it. it ruins my day. there are many aspects that can contribute to a bad cup of joe, including: the way it was brewed, too much coffee grounds, too little coffee grounds, the beans themselves, and the way that you choose to doctor it up. since i have been dogsitting in avalon - and the place that im staying at only has INSTANT coffee...bleh, i've been cruising down to the local watering hole for my caffeine fix - Avalon Coffee. Their beans are great. Truly delicious and roasted to perfection. The other day I had a hankering for some cafe over ice, so I strolled down and got two shots of espresso over ice...then added some milk myself. it hit the spot. this morning i arrived at 6:45, 15 minutes before they opened. i was outside, getting antsy as i waited for them to open. in my delirium i poured myself a cup of drip coffee...which i later noticed i could SEE through because the brew was so weak. i had brought casey, the younger of the two dogs im watching, along for the ride...and she looked at me with confused eyes as we cruised home. she couldn't understand the dialogoue i was having, out loud...with myself, about what a big f*ing mistake i made. how could i have gotten drip?? WHY didn't i order an americano? jesus cailin -- way to blow it. poor casey, she'll just never understand coffee.....
SO, coffee aside, ive been having some fun lately. oz left, we cried. adam left, we celebrated. ha. joke. totally kidding. its kinda sad not having him around...talking bout dirty legs and rippin' loud-wall-shaking farts. he has this charm and charisma that is surprsiing and endearing. anyways, we still have pat. wonderful, adventurous, happy pat. her and i are competeing in a flounder fishing tournament today, which i am VERY excited about! afterwards we'll come back to casey and sadies house, swim in the pool, play with the dogs, and then ill be heading to mildreds. lets hope tonight is better than last night...when i walked with 70 bucks.
damnit, i really wish i had a good cup of coffee right now.....

still a bit foggy from lack of coffee, i met mom, pat and jan at jans boat in strathmere. we piled on with our fishing gear, hoagies and beer. in the first drift pat, PAT who caught her first flounder only the day before, pulls up a huge 20 inch keeper flounder...one that will DEFINITELY win her a trophy in the contest that we are in {The Strathmere Fishing Club Flounder Tournament}. On Dad's boat, all fish go into a cooler. In Jan's boat, all fish go into a bug bag and are hung over the side of the boat. Well, long story short - the bug bag wasn't tied on that tight, and don't ya know it - we turn around and BOOM...the bag is gone. No fish. Poor Pat. We DID find a minnie bucket though, chuck full o'minnies - someone must have not tied it tight enough.... All in all, we didn't catch anymore keeper flounders, but we did have a hell of a time. Things really got fun once the first beer was cracked open.
Lara Pappas, whom I met while in Costa Rica 2 years ago - now lives in LA - is en route to my house now. actually, she'll be arriving within the hour. Yep, thats right. i got rid of two in exchange for a new one. now its just lara and pat! haha. i think we may go pick blueberries tomorrow before pat has to leave @ 1pm :( :(
thats all for now. heading to work at mildreds in 2 hours. wish me luck.
