My eyes pop open around 7:30am. I know I have to get up since I work at 10:00 today. I like to have a good two hours before work. You know to look at SG before I leave it for the day.
I stumble in the kitchen. I see the expresso machine is already on and ready to go.
Back in the early 70's, on the day Starbucks opened across from the Pike Place Market here in Seattle my dad happened to be there. He bought a Cermina coffee maker. Which is much like the Barista one's Starbucks makes now.
We have been using it every morning ever since. I have been making my own coffee on it for a few months now. My dad got the bright idea to put a new rubber seal up in the part where the coffee press is so it has a better fit. Well in doing this it makes it fucking hard for you to get the basket up in there.
So I am going along my merry way making my coffee. I put the basket of grinded coffee up in the gasket press. I press up. Coffee is coming out as it should. Then I go to press it down and the whole coffee basket/handle thingy flys out. Coffee goes everywhere
In was a mix of coffee and coffee grinds. I notice it also got all over my forearm. I burned myself! Ouch it hurts 
So this is my morning thus far. I was pissed. I hope this is the only slip of the day. The kids have their first day of summer today and I can't handle more things like this going wrong or I will see grey hairs soon.
Damn coffee machine.

I'm entertaining the idea of mixing real likenesses with animal bodies to create some twisted hybrids. Kind of along the lines of Mark Ryden. Can you picture a big, sad-eyed Quinne kitten?
