To start this of, I am going to talk about
Coffee -
This time of the year brings a very special coffee to us from Starbucks. The “Christmas Blend” from Starbucks is very delicious and is only sold during the Christmas season. I suggest you go out and try it. I was lucky enough to get an 8oz bag of beans from a co-worker as a thank you gift. (Posted 11/23/2006)
My latest craze is making my own Mochas before I leave in the morning. I bought my own cups & lids, Ghirardelli chocolate sauce and Starbucks Espresso. I have saved a buttload of money.

Music – My music taste is fairly complex, yet it is not. I feel that I have a wide range of tastes from Yanni to Korn, Garth Brooks to Linkin Park and The Beetles to Led Zeppelin to The Eagles. And my all time favorite of course – Depeche Mode! If you are looking for some really good rock, that is hard & raw, then you have to check out Numic. I worked with John, the drummer, at Excite@Home and he turned me onto the band back in 99/00. They have two albums that I am aware of “Recrudescent Feed” & the latest one “One Above the Heretics”.
Linkin Park(Original LP, not the stuff with JayZ. LP has a new album coming out in about 20 days) Numic, Death Cab for Cutie, Joshua Radin, and Paulson are the latest bands that I am listening to at the moment, just to name a few.
