i found this tacked to the community board at our local starbucks while waiting an interminably long time for my drink (which is a double slight, because not only did i give in to the machine, but i also have to stand there for ten minutes and think about how i did). i took the strip down to "admire" it, and then promptly slipped it into my pocket. can you blame me? seriously, look at this kid (click the photo for a closer view). i can't even think of the word for this, but "fucking bad-ass" is close. also: "pretty cute."when i brought it home and showed steak, he made me promise i'd take it back. what if it belonged to one of the kids that comes there with their parents, and they put it up so they could feel like a rockstar whenever they went to starbucks? first of all, i countered, nobody should feel like anything more than a douche-bag in starbucks. but then again, who am i to rain on this kid's parade? so i scanned it as a compromise.
just to know that this little man is wandering around my neighborhood somewhere is enough to put a smile on my face. thanks, little man.

Please do not slander the almighty Starbucks. Grande decaf mocha soy for me (YUM YUM), and Sammy gets a "Strawberries and Creme frappuccino" - although she just calls it "Starbucks juice"
starbucks juice! okay, i guess that's pretty cute.
Damn girl, you are funny. Why do I always forget you're a writer? (I blame Tony, because he's a gloryhound and because I don't like to blame myself for anything.) If only you could rationalize how spending money at Starbucks is also somehow sticking it to the man... That would really help me out.
P.S. Congrats on making it official!
P.S.S. "Steak and Eggs" is brilliant, though kind of gross if you think about the metaphor too deeply. Which I did. And now I'll never eat steak and eggs again. So thanks.
