bittersweet news. starbucks has opened their first store here in louisville. true, we enjoyed starbucks coffee in their cafes in barnes and noble, but this is the first stand alone store. let me tell you…i love them frappucinos. i really do. but after talking to the girl at the counter about how many starbucks thereare in chicago, she looked at me and said "it'll be that way here, too, by september." i said "oh really?" and her reply was "that's the plan." at that point she actually made a little wink like expression…like she was letting me in on the plan for world domination. i'm kinda scared about this. what does this mean for some of the smaller coffeehouses in my neighborhood? will starbucks invade the highlands (my neighborhood) with guns a'blazin'? truly something to think about…

adam updated kempa.com with a few interesting links. okay…not a few. one. one interesting link. and then a link he stole from his site he linked to.

us|against|them has some interesting links. including one to dan from sunny day making fun of nate mendel and the foo fighters. as a side note, i just noticed that us|against|them is hosted by hypermart. i'm not really gonna comment on that at this time. but i will comment on the fact that mark over there has some good taste in 70's hanna barbera icons. i'm very pissed off that i couldn't find a good god damn hong kong fuey site to link to…

i think i'll just shut the fuck up for now.
