My boyfriend has informed me that a coffee cup on a coffee cup must somehow affect the universe, but I’ll take my chances… It announces a warning - that if the cup is empty, you should not attempt to contact the owner unless you have coffee. Clicky clicky click on the picture for more info.

A Christian organization calling itself “The Resistance” has released the following press release:

Starbucks has recently introduced a new version of their logo which features a topless mermaid with her legs spread, which has caused outrage from a nation wide Christian media watchdog organization. The Resistance, with has over 3000 members nationwide, is boycotting Starbucks across the country saying their new logo is inappropriate.

The Starbucks logo has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute, explains Mark Dice, founder of the group. Need I say more? It’s extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves, Slutbucks.

I kind of like her, guess I’m going to hell

I am pretty sure that every regular employee at our local Starbucks knows my regular drink and Brian’s by heart and most know our names. We might be addicts, even though we only go on weekends usually. Though, I’m kind of evil, I through them for a loop at times and *gasp* dare to order something different where as Brian can pretty much only drink a venti latte with 2 sweet and lows or he might die.

I’m also thinking of redoing the coffee cup logo for this very page as I really did rush it and when my mommy person isn’t busy someday teaching her how to use her log in so she can post some coffee recipes… hmm…

See it’s not just for drinking.  That’s right, it’s a watercolour too!  I’m not so sure that my boyfriend would appreciate me using coffee as paint.  He’s wants to move across the street from a coffeehouse but is afraid that if we do, he’d go bankrupt.  Can you imagine how thrilled he’d be if I tempted him with the smell of coffee in the house 24/7 and then announced “Sorry I’m using that for a painting, don’t drink it”.

Anyway, if the video appealed to you and you’d like to own some coffee art of your own then wander on over to  Angel and Andy’s website: http://www.justcoffeeart.com.  Of course if you’re on a budget  they sell prints too - coffee aroma on those not included.

But wait, what’s that?  You’re an art snob?  If you’re going to own a print it’s going to be of a classic, perhaps the Mona Lisa.  Well then  coffee-art.com might have the solution.  Site owner Karen, also uses coffee in her art, but  has reproduced some of the most identifable pieces of art and so yes, you can buy a print of the Mona Lisa, sorry, Mona Latte.

Alternatively you can always just run down to your nearest dollar store, find some cheap coffee (I wouldn’t waste the good stuff on this), and create your own masterpiece!
