Right before Christmas, a new McCoffee was installed in an empty storefront on the ground floor of my (temp) office building. It's on the map over there with all the other locations on lower Manhattan. (Man, I thought for sure there were more than that.)
Anyway, no worries, I still get my medium coffee, cream, no sugar I'm-sweet-enough-already-thank-you, from Raf's coffee cart every morning. But occasionally I purchase some sort of McCoffee blended beverage or espresso drink or snack downstairs. Today I picked up a Toffee Nut Bar, and a young hipster woman behind me ordered one of those irritatingly "healthy" forms of a McCoffee. And I wondered, "Hm, I wonder why people who order those kinds of drinks always order them with the same inflections and accents?" (i.e., "Yaah, can I haave a soyyy laaate, pleese.") And it's never a question. It's posed as a statement. A statement of their hipsterness for drinking McCoffee with soy instead of that god awful milk, and they are so better than you for doing it.
Well, I use half-and-half. Sometimes I even wanna drink it straight. So, there, you hipsters, take that. Yaah.

Is there any chance of seeing a picture of Amy wearing a red scarf?
Maybe. Look, I'm busy being a hata' against the entire city of New York. Hold your horses!
I live in a town that is chock-full of self-important hipsters-they're so obnoxious! p.s. I order sooyyyy milk in my coffee; but that's because I'm lactose intolerant :).
