Hasta La Creative!

Yawwwwwwwnnn. Starbucks closed up shop for a few hours last night to “re-educate” its employees. I didn’t take it so well. Could’ve used a grande with extra foam around 6 p.m. Went to Dunkin’ and forgot to order a latte to get their 99-cent anti-Starbucks price. Odd how the mind wanders. The large with three sugars gave me enough pep to begin research on this post. I walked past the nearest Starbucks and peered inside. A half-dozen baristas were nibbling scones. Maybe they were playing one of the mix CDs they sell. Sounded like Al Green. My attention was dragging, so I didn’t bother sticking around. Napped at my desk. Began writing this item, but was too tired for complete sentences or coherent analysis. Thursday and Friday, McDonald’s is giving away a McSkillet Burrito with each drink purchase. The last time I had a McSkillet, I hallucinated I was Ralph Nader and stood in rush-hour traffic begging commuters to vote for me and drive safely. Or maybe I acted that way after downing three grandes in less than an hour. So hard to focus. Can’t keep my eyes open. Think I’ll turn in early.
