Which Friends Character Are You?

You are part Ross. You're intelligent and adored by your parents. However, your lack of social skills causes you to talk too much and try too hard. While your friends pick on you for your nerdiness, they better watch our for your rage.
You are part Chandler. You're funny and that's why people like to have you around. You're also a great friend, and when someone you care about is in trouble, they know to come to you for some level-headed advice followed by some sharp sarcasm.

So the current status:
Dunkin Donuts Medium Ice Coffee: $2.29 (but if you have a coupon it is $1.09)
Au Bon Pain TWO Medium Ice Coffees: $3.19

Both better or equal to Starbucks...you do the math!

Which Disney Princess Are You?

You are Pocahontas. You defy convention and sometimes do what is considered taboo. Unfortunately, others do not always appreciate your differences, so it's good that you are so strong-willed. You are loyal and you believe in fate. Your true love will find you one day.

I feel the need to announce: My boycott of Starbucks
This morning I got very upset to hear that Starbucks has raised their prices. I mean, I was already paying too much for coffee, but this is just silliness.
Every morning I get a grande ice coffee in a venti cup so there is room for milk and such. I usually ask for less ice too, because if you have ever noticed they the coffee to ice ratio is a sad sad story. Every morning it is $2.55. This already annoyed me because I ordered the same thing in Stamford, CT and it was $2.35 there. I assume that is such for the rest of the country but being that we are in NYC they like to hike up the prices for all us hardworking people. But alas, this morning the barista said it was $3.03 and I answered, isn't it $2.55 and he said they raised the prices yesterday. Why don't they tell us loyal folks these things, what if I only came with $2.55???? I have actually done that before. Anyways I think $3.03 for an ice coffee is ABSURD and I have to say that sadly, I will not be getting such coffee at starbucks again soon.

Which Springfield Resident Are You?

You are Apu. On the outside you are kind and a hard worker, but you lead a deceptively simple life. Though your cleverness might be underappreciated, you never miss an opportunity to sneak ahead in life.

I will talk about the weekend soon in the blog...but first, I think I am losing some patience for the stupidity of other people, you assume to a certain extent that people can be logical (which is funny I should say that because I am not the most logical but anyways..) here is one thing that has happened of late.

I ordered sneakers on Nike.com and I put a separate shipping and billing address. They left me a message on Friday to verify the address and that someone did not get a hold of my credit cards and charge something to it. So I called back today and the woman told me, oh, we went ahead and shipped it because we figured since no one called us back that the address was okay. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of calling me in the first place????

More stupid things have happened but I dunno if I should publish them so if you are curious, just ask!
