If I were a computer ...

Coffee ... before and after:

Batman & Coffee ...

Coffee ...

Sometimes, when I feel this bad in the morning, I wish I could have my black coffee fed to me through an intravenous drip bag.

Coffee and chocolate ...

My problem is I'm an addictive personality. I can't have one coffee. I can't eat one piece of chocolate.

– Guy Pearce.

Dance Dance Dance, by Haruki Murakami ... excerpt

Along the way I stopped into a coffee shop. All around me normal, everyday city types were going about their normal, everyday affairs. Lovers were whispering to each other, businessmen were poring over spread sheets, college kids were planning their next ski trip and discussing the new Police album. We could have been in any city in Japan. Transplant this coffee shop scene to Yokohama or Fukuoka and nothing would seem out of place. In spite of which – or, rather, all the more because - here I was, sitting in this coffee shop, drinking my coffee, feeling a desperate loneliness. I alone was the outsider. I had no place here.

Of course, by the same token, I couldn't really say I belonged to Tokyo and its coffee shops. But I had never felt this loneliness there. I could drink my coffee, read my book, pass the time of day without any special thought, all because I was part of the regular scenery. Here I had no ties to anyone. Fact is, I'd come to reclaim myself.

― Haruki Murakami, [Dance Dance Dance].

That helpless feeling ... [quote]

Do you know how helpless you feel if you have a full cup of coffee in your hand and you start to sneeze?

– Jean Kerr.

Once in a while I treat myself to a bag of these.

I love black coffee and dark chocolate.

Now this … coffee beans … coated in dark chocolate.

Genius!

Pure genius!
