you look pretty loooow

wow.
i haven't posted in a while.
and for good reason.
i've been gone - on the road again, i can never wait to get on the road again (luv ya willie).
ashley's here. life, therefor, is amazing and wonderful beyond words.
i've become addicted to coffee - not a cuppa joe coffee, but real, high quality stuff. i'm talkin four shot espresso mixed up with steamed (soy)milk and cinnamon and mocha and all of that great stuff.
the good thing about this is that while in the past couple of weeks it has proved to be quite an expensive addiction, it is now basically entirely free - ashley's quite a great barista (seriously), my dad has an 800 dollar espresso maker (which he received for free from a friend), and ashley has two pounds of espresso bean she got free (and legally). this means i get fresh ground, good espresso (though the maker's starting to age a little, so the espresso doesn't taste top on its own).
now, i am free to indulge in these great tastes simply by saying 'hey ashley, would you make me a drink?'
(or, as it went this evening, "get your barista ass up to the kitchen and make me a drink!")

the foul side of all this is that until i have coffee, i am a slug from the moment i get up in the morning, my eyes hardly stay open on their own, and i get crushing headaches whenever i go a few hours without coffee.
i forgot what caffeine addiction was like - i used to be pretty much this sort of addicted to it a couple of years ago - and now that i'm remembering it kind of sucks.
at least it's a tasty, warm, good way to stroke an addiction, right?

nice fuckin disguise. so hollowwww
