"like a child" by jars of clay
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
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.
Superstition [Listen-up]
the awesomest (yes, that is a word) part of this song is the fact that there is no one else playing an instrument off camera. the whole sound that you are hearing is all being played at once by this dude. it's called fingerstyle, and i want to learn it.

"your body is a wonderland" by sam dearmond
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.

Chirp, Chirp, It's Bird Time!
Friday, January 30, 2009
ok, ok, so that's the battle cry for the ball state fighting cardinals, but i've decided that i'm going to root for the west bumblefuck cardinals in the superbowl this year. not that i'll pay attention to the game at all, i'm only watching this year to see more e*trade baby commercials. have i ever mentioned that i wanna swipe that little kid? and while we're on the subject of cardinals, i know in the bird world, in their weight-class, cardinals are pretty tough, but seriously? what the fuck is a cardinal gonna do to a steeler? and what the fuck is a steeler?

"long road to forgiveness" by jason mraz & brett dennen
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
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.

"god is in the people" by melissa etheridge
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.
HEY! Charleston, Mississippi, 1955 Called, They Want Their Civil Rights Back.
Saturday, January 17, 2009
Just one more reason to love the great Morgan Freeman: the actor donated $17,000 to his local high school in Charleston, Mississippi, so that the high school students could finally hold their first integrated prom. (seriously? an integrated prom in 2009? that's so 1955. looks like the south sure is "rising again." i guess they still can't read down in those parts either, or maybe 'apartheid' is just too big of a word. as far as progress goes, maybe the folks in mississippi have some kind of conversion, like cats & dogs do for aging. one human year = fifty mississippian years.)
Freeman's offer, which was first made in 1997, was finally taken up by the school eleven years later, thanks in part to Freeman's participation in a documentary film by Paul Saltzman, who documented Freeman's pitch to the school board, community reactions, and student interviews which showed reactions to the idea of an integrated prom and discussions of the racism that is still present in their town. Not everyone was thrilled with the idea of an integrated dance; several students retaliated by holding a "Whites-Only" prom, which the filmmakers were not invited to cover. (something tells me that the only reason these troglodytes are 'integrating' is because there school can't afford to exist. i doubt $17,000 is being spent on a prom. principal bonus, maybe?)
The documentary, "Prom Night In Mississippi," is premiering this week at Sundance. Freeman, who was outraged ("It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard") that children in his town were still dealing with segregated dances, hopes that the prom, and the film, will break down the separate dance system and the mentality that fuels it. "The kids are not going to want to go backwards," Freeman says, "They've got their toe in the water, and the water's warm." (movie clip, here.)
tuesday can't come fast enough for me.

"arthur's theme" by christopher cross
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.
