Watch this now.

I’ve actually bought something from this company before, but it wasn’t quite this ridiculous.

We are go for chai milkshake.

Highly recommended.

My thing with iced chai is that it seems half-assed. Iced tea is one thing, but iced chai and iced coffee seem weird to me. Piping hot coffee. Piping cold coffee. Which doesn’t belong?

But a chai milkshake is committing to your deviance and embracing your weirdness, you freaky caffeine-seeker. It’s the same reason that I have to respect a certain friend of mine who, when ordering a girly drink, demands a little umbrella for the glass. Commit. Embrace. Freak.

A quick SAT-style analogy:

Iced chai:chai milkshake::McLovin from “Superbad”:Bill from “Freaks and Geeks.”

Be real. Be Bill.

In search of a coffee shop not subject to the comings and goings of CU students — did I mention that my temporary living situation is a combination of awesome and slightly inconvenient? — I’ve wandered down to The Cup, where there is a 1:1 MacBook-to-customer ratio and where the menu includes chai and espresso milkshakes.

I am successfully consuming a 3rd Street Chai shake.

Now, pardon me while I step into the “cell phone booth,” a free-standing, wooden phone booth structure with a door. Why don’t more places have these?

By the way, I’m not going in there to make a call. I’m going in there to await instructions from George Carlin.

Hey sports fans, I’m starving and eager to learn and try something new. I’ve had black bean burgers in restaurants (and at least one frozen one), but I’ve never made my own. Who’s got a good recipe? Leave recipes or links in the comments and I’ll try one out soon!

Inspiration from Grist’s Russ Walker tweeting about a modification to the climate bill.

@ashleybraun recommends these black bean burgers. “Carnivore-approved,” she says.
