I am surprised. McDonald's iced coffee is pretty good. Of course I've been hearing that that is the case, but I believe it now.

It's awesome, because SBux is so snobby they can't even do that. They can't make a good and simple iced black coffee with milk and sugar. And if you want to make it right, you'd have to do it yourself at the counter, and sometimes they don't have sugar syrup, so you'd have to use crunchy sugar that doesn't melt. Why can't a major coffee shop chain even make simple things like a lemon iced tea? Believe me, I've asked.

I looove this pen. It's an Itoya O'netts Paperskater. I used to have two, but eventually I lost them and they don't sell 'em anymore. At Hillcrest Stationers yesterday, I found again! I couldn't believe I finally found a replacement.

What's so good about it? It's an all aluminum barrel. Ink writes pretty smooth, not the best, but writes well until you drop the pen a couple of times. But refills are easy to find. It's very simple but elegant. The barrel is a satin shimmery blue. It has a good weight. It's very solid. The grip has good texture. It's a very good pen. It was about 19 bucks--a bit more than what I paid for previously, but it was such a rare find. The burgundy version was pretty too, but I had to have the blue one again.

Yea yea, it's just a pen. Psh, you just don't understand....
