"like a child" by jars of clay
the brew dujour:
Fair Trade Wicked Winter Blend- This is a rich blend that is meant to be enjoyed slowly. It works well on its own or with food (especially chocolate). I really wish I could get it in beans, it would be perfect in the french press.

"tomorrow still come" by will dailey
the brew dujour:
Special Reserve Colombian Flor de Cauca- These beans have an amazing aroma of chocolate, black cherries and a hint of amaretto. Brewed, this is an incredibly smooth Columbian blend. It's perfectly roasted and balanced. I highly recommend it.

"your body is a wonderland" by sam dearmond
the brew dujour:
fair trade organic espresso blend- a shot of espresso has a lot more going for it than a kick of caffeine. something about the rich, bold flavor warms you from the inside like a snifter of brandy. this blend balances that great espresso flavor with the drinkability of a delicious cup of joe.

A Week Sans Butter & Coffee...

Monday, February 02, 2009

my apologies for the weak week of posts that just past. myself, as well as my computer, came down with a bug. all is well now, thanks for asking.

i would like to thank novartis for blessing the world not only with theraflu, but also excedrin migraine; and the darling folks at lofthouse for fisherman's friend cough drops. and big ups to the bear family at celestial seasonings for brewing such delicious sleepytime tea. and to the lovely fellows at trend micro for zapping my computer related bugs. and last but not least, thank you ipod for the peaceful playlist that helped me get to sleep every night.

"long road to forgiveness" by jason mraz & brett dennen
the brew dujour:
fair trade golden french toast- this coffee is an integral part of four of the best things in life: lazy sunday mornings, jason mraz on my ipod, breakfast in bed and a ginormous mug of coffee... so perfect together. all the perfection of french toast, in the convenient vessel of a mug; the rich butter with hints of egg finishing with maple syrup.

"i saw the light" by todd rundgren
the brew dujour:
fair trade organic ethiopian yirgacheffe- "coffee can be traced back to as early as the ninth century, when it appeared in the highlands of ethiopia. according to legend, ethiopian shepherds were the first to observe the influence of the caffeine in coffee beans when their goats appeared to "dance" and to have an increased level of energy after consuming wild coffee berries. from ethiopia, coffee spread to egypt and yemen. it was in arabia that coffee beans were first roasted and brewed, similar to how it is done today."

these beans are a tribute to the humble beginning of the brew that i love so much. the sweet flavor of chocolate dipped orange rind lingers with each sip, and the slightly smoky roast balances the sweetness perfectly. rare perfection that can only be found at the source.

Monday, January 19, 2009

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it does not make sense.
4. Tag someone else
NO CHEATING!

How do you feel today? now that we found love - heavy d and the fat boys (i don't know about that)

What’s your outlook on life? help me - nick carter (i concur with this selection)

What does your family think of you? harvest moon - neil young (i doubt my family sees me this way, perhaps 'loser' by beck would be a better choice)

What do your friends think of you? the boy's gone - jason mraz (there is definite symbolism here)

What do strangers think of you? sweet caroline - angelo venuto (i got nothing...)

What do your exes think of you? cold as ice - foreigner (serious LOL)

How’s your love life? barbie girl - aqua (i can't get past my embarrassment of actually having this song in my itunes library)

How will your love life be in the future? beautiful people - the black eyed peas feat. macy gray (i hope so)

Will you get married? is there a ghost - band of horses (i can't find a correlation here, FAIL)

Are you good at school? angels - robbie williams (again, FAIL)

Will you be successful? 6th avenue heartache - the wallflowers feat. the counting crows (again, the truth comes out)

What song should they play on your birthday? high - james blunt (maybe back in the day, but unfortunately, no more)

What song should they play at your graduation? waiting for you - chromeo (sure, i guess i can see it)

The Soundtrack of your life? nine in the afternoon - panic at the disco (me feeling like nine o'clock is the middle of the afternoon has always been a problem)

You and your best friends are? cocaine habit - old crow medicine show (negative)

Happy times: wonder - freddy jones band (good call itunes, good call)

Sad times: floatin' - charlie wilson feat. will.i.am and justin timberlake (not a sad time at all, and i don't do 'breakup songs' which is where this song would most likely fit)

Every day: only human - jason mraz (check)

For tomorrow: house of the rising sun - led zeppelin (apropos of inauguration)

For you: a puro dolor - son by four (the best part about this is the fact that this is the spanglish version of the song, and my friend mike and i know ALL the words)

What does next year have in store for me? sleeping to dream - jason mraz (i appreciate sleep, and this song, very much)

What do I say when life gets too hard? billy - james blunt (there is a much deeper meaning of this song to me that i could never explain to anyone, just understand that this is probably the EPIC WIN of this whole meme)

What song will I dance to at my wedding? oh timbaland - timbaland (i seriously doubt that, unless eve wants to marry me)

What do you want as your career? jimi thing - dave matthews band (if i recall correctly, 'jimi thing' is about smoking a fat joint, which would make this the fourth drug reference in this post)

Your favorite saying? story of a girl - nine days (definitely not)

How will I die? naked and famous - the presidents of the united states of america (i promise you i didn't fake this, i will die naked and famous if i have any say in the situation)

my dearest spleeness, TAG, you're it.

"god is in the people" by melissa etheridge
the brew dujour:
fair trade island coconut- I stash Island Coconut in my freezer and only take it out for rare occasions. This morning's rare occasion was that it was snowing like a bastard outside. I would appreciate a warm beach and some rays of sun, and this flavor takes you straight to the tropics. As if I really need to say it- I wish it was available all year long.

"arthur's theme" by christopher cross
the brew dujour:
fair trade wild mountain blueberry- i had a real hankering for blueberry coffee today. normally the fruity flavor makes me think of summer, but it is way too cold for a mere steamy cup of blueberry goodness to make the transport on its own. that being said, i drink my coffee with milk & sugar, but i happened to have picked up a bottle of coconut creme coffeemate at the store the other day (yum). a splash of coconut in my blueberry java was just the boost i needed to feel like i was basking in the rays of the summer sun... but wait, it's still cold outside. really cold.

I Feel Like I'm Goin' Nowhere Fast...

Monday, January 12, 2009

and so, i must have listened to this song 100 times today...

Can you feel the room spinning?
Can you feel what's happening?
Walls are caving, colors change.
The red you're wearing turns to grey.

Oceans rise and oceans subside.
The seasons give up and so have I.

Holding you is holding you back from what you could be, what you could have.
Run away, run away before it's too late.
Run away before it's too late.
Run away, run away before it's too late.
Run away before it's too late.
You never what you're gonna find out there.
No, you never know until you look.


Memories as sweet as these,
You cannot take them, they belong to me.

Don't you worry, worry about me.
Don't make this harder than it has to be.

Run away, run away before it's too late to run away.
Run away before it's too late.
Run away, run away before it's too late.
Run away before it's too late.
You never know what you're gonna find out there,
No you never know until you look.
Run away before it's too late.
Run away...

Run away before it's too late to run away.
Run away before it's too late.
Run away before it's too late to run away.
I want you to stay.
You never know what you're gonna find out there.
No you never know until you look.

Actual Words That Came Out Of My Girlfriend's Mouth Last Night:


i can't stand it. i hate music!"

there is no context to be had. we stopped at a rest stop on the way back from d.c. and as soon as i put the car in park, she dramatically smashed her hand on the volume knob and turned it off. and to make it worse, as if it could be, i was listening to jason mraz. g.n.f.

i must mention, as a side note to your morning coffee, that bread's greatest hits was the very first cd that i ever owned.


"everything i own" by bread
the brew dujour:
fair trade wicked winter blend- a brew drunk in honor of the ridiculous amounts of snow that mother nature has dumped upon our northern regions. why not enjoy the cold with a toasty, chocolaty cup of caffeinated goodness? wicked winter is the way to go. (even if you're stuck in non-snow covered regions like myself.)

"you give me something" by james morrison
the brew dujour:
harvard blend- a lovely young chap send me a sack of this blend over the holidays, and although it's a very light roast, it has that generic coffee flavor that's very comforting. nothing too bold or too uptight, a tad acidic, a tad robust, and generally very delcious.
