that heading up there? yep, that's me. i started feeling the beginning of a headache around 11AM. i think that's my body's way of saying, "hello? where's the caffine? yooooouuuuuuuwwwwwwhhhhhhooooo!" i think it has to do with me upgrading my morning drink from a chai to a caramel macchiato. mucho caffineo, compared to the chai.

so after an early lunch for anita's bday, i made my usual stop at starbucks. everyone seems to know me at starbucks, and the usual morning shift was still there around 1230PM. i try not to be too critical with them, since i see them almost every morning, but sometimes, i just want to say, 'hey, can you stop chit-chatting and prepare these drinks?' there's a line of like 7 people at the register and about 5 waiting for their drinks to be made...gets kind of annoying at times, but what can i do, right? i tried switching starbucks, but this one is pretty convenient and on my way to the office.

so now i'm enjoying my tall, soy, no foam, chai...and no more headache! woohoo!

some other random event - i was walking to the L yesterday, coming up to the monroe/dearborn intersection. i hear ambulance sirens, and try to decipher where it's coming from. then i hear the cop working the intersection traffic yell out , 'YO GET OUT OF THE WAY!' he wasn't yelling at me, but to a few people who decided to dodge across the street before the ambulance got there. the fact that he yelled that wasn't surprising; it was the way he yelled. he sounded panicked. now if you're a cop, shouldn't you show a calm demeanor? i mean, if you don't...who will?

ahhhh, this chai is heaven.
