sometimes being a coffee snob feels so good. making yourself a pourover at home instead of spending money at a cafe can be so special, something about taking the extra time and being meticulous with it feels really grounding

After a long year of mindlessly drinking pre-ground french press or instant (shame me) coffee, it felt like a tiring morning task to get me through the day. Recently my friend convinced me to put more love into making my morning cup of coffee. That means hand grinding and measuring my beans to make sure that I can make a consistently tasty cup every single time. It all started with this JavaPresse hand grinder for the beans, and an Aeropress coffee maker brewed using the inverted method for consistency. The difference in smell and taste is remarkable, and I don't think I'll ever settle for less. Sure it takes more time and effort, but it has become a healthy and refreshing self care routine to kick the day.

then making it every day for the next year. this is the best way to become dependent on caffeine with the added benefit of knowing how to make your own coffee. it's not nearly the same as drinking an energy drink or preworkout, but there's an artisanal quality to it that makes life worth living.

i mostly played ds games as a kid but for some reason this pc game that i used to play at my parents’ enormous iMac G3 comes to mind. it’s a point and click adventure game where you’re a little anthropomorphic detective fish with a sidekick named luther (nothing funnier to a seven-year-old than a fish named luther). i think the one i played was freddi fish and the case of the haunted schoolhouse, which was juuuust creepy enough to interest me while still being age appropriate

so many fond childhood memories here, begging to get cookies after day camp at the cathedral of st. john the divine <3 highly recommend going here for a hamantash or a slice of black forest cake and a cup of coffee to write/read/people watch. it gets crazy busy on weekends though
