I drink straight black iced tea. No foo-foo sugar or anything. If I had the time I would brew more often (I used to brew my own) but I've switched to TeJava. Delicious stuff. I buy whole boxes of that stuff.
And of course, a lot of crushed ice.

TeJava? Sounds kinds like pseudo coffee LOL "Java = Coffee"  I usually drink black tea - but there are occasions where I like to drink Green or Mint tea - but only when just drinking - for having a snack - or dinner - I am all about basic black. |

Nah TeJava is straight up black iced tea. Yeah I don't know why java is in the name. If i'm sick I drink peppermint tea (hot), prefferably Refreshe from Starbucks.  |

I love Starbucks. [Former barista/shift supervisor]
Awesome company to work for. Great health benefits for only 20 hours a week. I'll probably go back after I graduate.

Barista = some guy who makes coffee - no skills needed |

there's a whole lot of skill in what I did. Sure, pouring coffee is simple. That's only a fraction of the job, usually for people in a hurry in the morning. I can work the bar like a champ. That's where the skill is found.

Officialben, I hope you made good Caramel Macchiatos...they're tasty 99% of the time, but I hate when they put too much milk in it, and not enough espresso. And one time, I got one without any espresso....MILK AND CARAMEL SYRUP. I was not happy. But I digress... |

I can NOT wait until The Last Stand!, but I'm a bit disappointed. Wasn't Gambit supposed to be in it? Not that Archangel isn't awesome, I was just hoping to see who they would cast.

I'm probably gonna go see it. I really liked the second one, though the director ditched xmen 3 to direct superman returns. Hopefully it will be just as good.

And one time, I got one without any espresso....MILK AND CARAMEL SYRUP. I was not happy. But I digress... What do you take me for? I haven't worked there in over a year, but I could go back today and make everything just as perfect as I did when I was there. For example: There is no caramel syrup in a caramel macchiato. The only syrup in that drink is actually vanilla. the only caramel you taste is the caramel sauce the put on the top. If you were to get a gande caramel macchiato, this is the way it is made: Steam milk to 160 degrees. Three pumps of vanilla syrup. Milk three quarters of the way up, then top it off with a heaping dollup of foam. Pull two shots, pour over foam, and caramel sauce on top. Seven up and down, seven left and right, and two circles. Voila. |

I'm sure you could still make a great macchiato officialben...I just wish that everyone could And also, I meant caramel sauce, I just never knew that's what it is called. I was thinking syrup, as in chocolate syrup (same consistency anyway). Now I'm having a Starbucks craving |

Gotcha. Yeah good fact to know when ordering at starbucks. There is a difference between caramel sauce and syrup. They'll both clog your arteries, though!

Alright everybody let's talk about The Last Stand! I just saw a midnight screening...I really liked the movie. It had some cheesy moments, but the special fx more than made up for that. Perfect summer movie, go see it |

I felt is was good as well, about equal to the second one, I was dissapointed at the loss to some of the characters and hope they were right on the mtv 2 special and that the 4th script is written, because if this is the end to the series, I would have to say I was dissapointed
