i. I have bought a coffee grinder. It gives me an excuse to put even more coffee into my espresso maker (four shots of espresso, except stronger!), so am now slightly woozy from coffee. Wheeeeeee. *makes woozy head motions*

ii. Apparently, summer has arrived. Those of you not living in the UK might not realise that this isn't, in fact, a yearly occurrence (winter, on the other hand, does happen every year, but with summer it's more like every two or three years). Nevertheless, at the moment we have 25 ÂșC and sunshine, which means many half naked people wondering around. I may have been one of them this morning, even, since nice weather means that I can wear shorts and show off my tattoo. I very much like showing off my tattoo. This probably means that I'll have bare legs for the next three or four months.

iii. Met [livejournal.com profile] airinshaw today, who was lovely as ever. We are going to see Cobra Starship on Tuesday, which should be exciting, although I'm not sure if I can keep from giggling when Gabe does the cobra fangs. Then again, in this fandom mockery is love as can be proved by the very existence of Ryan Ross.

iv. Apparently there's a UK slash conference every October? [livejournal.com profile] connotations, and I'm astonished that I didn't know about this - did anyone know about this? Does anyone want to go? Sounds like fun. *ponders*

Hello friendslist,

I need your help! I accidentally bought a bag of coffee beans instead of ground coffee (these things can happen whilst wondering around in an undercaffeinated daze), and now I wonder if grinding my own beans (that sounds filthy somehow. Um. Maybe I'm just a pervert.) would actually be a good idea. Do any of you practice this habit? Would you recommend it? How does it contribute to your coffee experience? What brands of coffee grinders would you suggest? Any advice would be much appreciated.

One thing about bandom fic, especially My Chem fic, is that they drink a lot of coffee. They talk about coffee. There are many scenes of Gerard talking to his coffee, or merely fondling it in a inappropriate way. Usually I rather enjoy these scenes - often they make me get up and make some coffee myself.

But when I'm stuck at work, unable to leave the office to get some coffee and starting to feel the lack-of-caffeine headache I get every morning, then, it's not fun.

And don't get me started on the Ianto fic.
