You know

...it would be pretty cool if I could change the font to Viner Hand ITC, but I am still unsure as yet how to do much here, and a full belly isn't really going to be helping me divine that right now as I just want to post and then go back to my book. 

I am currently on the 3rd book in the Legacy of the Force series. One of the things that I have noticed about star wars books is that however unclear the trials are that the characters are facing, for the reader it is always clear cut. We always know what is going on with both sides, or at least have some inkling of it, and so while we may get more upset when reading about a certain situation that the characters are in(hey, I get serious about my Star Wars) we always see the plain fight of good vs. evil. (and wow, simon and garfunkel's "Wednesday morning at 3 am" is great!) We don't see the point that I was trying to make, because the music changed to Harry Connick jr. and I just lost my train of thought, which shouldn't surprise anyone who knows me. 

So for a complete change of topic, if you want to read a blog about coffee from one of the industries most proficient professionals, James Hoffman won the World Barista Championship in 2008, and is a student of coffee, and actually is among quite a few of the upper class baristas who have come to measure their coffee making supplies down to temperature and weight! It is rather impressive to read his blog, and I wish that I could spend as much time delving into the depths of coffee as he does... 
Bis Dann!
PS. Ooh! Loreena Mckennitt's "Skellig!"

Oh yeah

So I will be keeping my timestamps on the blog based from Berlin. One of the things about me that I really like German culture. Don't ask me anything about it, but I think that the language is just cool, and I want to someday become fluent and go visit the place!

Well, here I go!

So I apologize for those of you who have previously followed me on livejournal, but I changed the password and subsequently forgot what it was, so now I am starting one that is connected to my email address! I have no idea what I am going to write about, but I hope to keep things random and interesting. Sometimes I will rant, but isn't that part of what blogging is about? Giving yourself a voice because you feel that you have a voice that should be heard. So here goes!
