I am a person preoccupied with options... and dirt.

I hope it's not contagious...
My coffee maker is sick. It threw up grinds and half brewed coffee all over the stove. I forced it to show up for work though, by pouring it through a second filter into my cup. I don't recommend it.
sounds like you need a vinegar cleaning! I forget the formula but its a bunch of vinegar and some water to dilute and you brew it through. Then make sure you brew water through a few times to not have vinegar tasting coffee.
Investigate the Bodum French Press if your CM is still ailing. Available at any Bed Bath & Beyond, too (cheers to the 20% coupons that never expire). Works with course ground coffee or loose leaf tea. Just pour very hot water over your substance of choice and steep then press. Instantly filtered and no sediment.
A: The Dirty Ballerina is a collection of words, drawings and meanderings that fell out of my head and onto a page. (In the real life paper version there will be things that fell out of other people's heads sometimes.)
Who is the dirty ballerina?
A: Me.
Why do you get to be THE dirty ballerina? What makes you so special?
A: Because I said so and because that's me in the tutu.
Do you even do ballet?
A: The last time I did ballet was when that picture was taken 22 years ago.
*I'm going to stop here before it gets ugly and say that everyone has a little dirty ballerina inside of them. The next time you pour coffee down the front of your fancy outfit or trip and fall in the mud stop for a minute and look at yourself. Are you laughing? There she is...
Thirty in Thirty
As an assignment to myself and to push myself to learn about deadlines I am writing a blog everyday for thirty days. The only requirement I have is that I cannot blog about blogging. Most of it may be crap but I'm doing it anyway, so there.
Just Remember
My grandma always says, never let the truth get in the way of a good story. I always say, the truth is better than anything you can make up. I also tend to listen to my grandma as she's pretty smart. So, if you pop up, or think you pop up in anything I write you might be right, but then again, you might be wrong. All memory is fiction essentially, right?

Hmm, I swear I'd heard from some one that there is a place called STARBUCKS...
Thank you, DB.
