Life is like a cup of coffee. It's not enough just to be hot, there has to be some kick to it.
I told my AI to make me a cappuccino and it made me an image of a cappuccino.
We still have a long way to go with AI. Just saying...
I mean, what's the point of having an AI if I have to make my own coffee?
"Relax" they say. "Go to your happy place" they say. "Wait, come back, there's work to be done" they say as I stay in my happy place forever.
Them: "Can you show me happiness in one photo?"
Me: (holds up photo of fresh brewed espresso)
Them: "Well, um... yeah, we can't really argue with that."
It's the morning after the birthday that is always the roughest.
Need.
More.
Coffee.
Without coffee, there is no inspiration.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. ☕ 😆
Finally starting to feel a touch of Fall in the air.
Which means the Christmas sales started about two months ago.
Had a thoroughly enjoyable evening last night and am ever more hopeful for the future of our country this morning.
Ever have one of those days that just feels like it will never end?
We call those "Tuesdays".
Just a single cup
Turns morning conversation
Into adventure.
Coffee is my alarm clock. Honestly, it's about the only thing that can convince me to get out of bed every morning.
Time to rise and shine, happy Coso folks!
Yeah, yeah, I know... chipper morning people can be SO annoying. 😜
Woke up with a bit of a sore throat this morning (which is never a good thing for a radio/TV person). so I'm sticking with ice coffee instead of hot coffee.
I'm back from Dragon Con and trying to figure out how to re-integrate myself into the "real world".
I don't wanna be in the real world. I wanna stay in fantasy land.
I'm supposed to leave for Dragon Con is a few hours. I guess I should start thinking about packing...
...but not before coffee.
A Chinese friend of mine once said, "America smells like coffee."
I'm okay with that. ☕
