No more procrastination

I don't know why I do it to myself. I can see how much coffee is left in the container. I can tell that it's running low. I know how much goes into the coffee maker to make the perfectly brewed two huge cups/three regular size cups of coffee. Yesterday, I knew that there wasn't enough in the container for today's coffee. So, why didn't I get more while I was out yesterday?

Is it because I like to live on the edge and scrape the last coffee grounds out of the cracks of the container in hopes of filling the basket with enough to make that perfect cup? No. It's not like 6 coffee grounds is going to make ANY difference.

Is it because I like to drink weak coffee? Because I don't. I'd rather drink nothing. Weak coffee makes me angry, enraged, offended. Why do I have such a strong reaction to weak coffee? I think I might need to explore this, perhaps with a therapist.

Maybe it's the lord's way of telling me not to drink coffee in the first place. Naaah, you mofos know I don't believe that shit. 

I guess it's because I'm a crazy procrastinator who really wants good, expensive, Ethiopian coffee and hasn't been to the fancy-schmansy coffee shop to get it. I guess today's the day. Because I'd rather HAVE coffee than NOT HAVE any.

We order a Brazilian coffee through ebay (best price). I've never tried any Ethiopian brands but I'd like to. What kind do you buy?

I like to buy Yirgacheffee from a local coffee shop. I got a cup of Ethiopian coffee from them one time, and I don't remember what it was called, but I do remember it was fruity. I've wanted that again for months. Whole Foods also has a decent selection too.

Have you ever been to an Ethiopian restaurant? I'm so sure they're a dime a dozen in UT ;-) . Anyway, they do this really cool coffee ceremony where they roast the beans tableside. It's quite the experience, and it smells amazing!

I'm going to check for some Ethiopian brands next time I'm in Whole Foods. Sounds fabulous.

Salt Lake has some pretty good restaurants and is becoming gradually more diverse. For that matter Park City has some to-die-for restaurants although not sure there is any Ethiopian fare up here. I will definitely check it out though. That coffee ceremony sounds very cool!

I like to drink weak coffee too, it is what it is.
