I always wanted to just come to Starbucks and be like one of those people that are hanging around on their laptops, sipping on coffee. Well, here I am, but instead of coffee, I'm sipping on some iced green tea (obviously). And now I'm one of the many people trying to feel like they're in a metropolis-style cafe in this small, primarily lower-middle class town. It's not all that bad though.
On the other hand, I feel like I'm back in Aromas again at the University, trying to do homework and trying to escape the confinements of my apartment. That's a feeling I actually like, when compared to the other one. I miss San Diego a lot; most of all, the people.
It's kind of weird seeing all of these new black labels at this Starbucks. All around the world the popular chain has changed their labels from the usual green-on-black-and-white to a fully black and white circle. The depiction of a queen inside of that circle has changed too. It sparked a little bit of controversy here and there, as depicted below:
Well, if they can't stand to see a woman cover her breasts, they can still find the original, no-breasts label on the plastic cups made for cold drinks, like:
Yes, that is my laptop. A wonderful System76 laptop fully equipped with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, running Compiz Fusion and finally customized with a black motif and a 'manyoshu'-style background.
I just don't see what the fuss is about. If you're that riled up about a woman covering her breasts and you can't bear to look at your hot drink, then just buy a cold one. It's summer, anyway - chill out!
