My boy did a search by its Japenese name キシリクリスタル to see if it showed up anywhere other than the manufacturer website, but it didn't, which is sad.
Remember that coffee shop I wrote about before? The one that has coffee that was digested and pooped out? So, I went there yesterday when the boy took the day off to hang out with me and we went to Santa Monica. I have only one word to describe the coffee shop: P R E T E N T I O U S.
You can read the boy's review here, but I'm going to repost the text here just because I find it so terribly amusing and mostly true (there was like one other laptop type there, I swear!):
My review of the Funnel Mill coffee shop in Asshole, CA
Gentle reader, I beg you to imagine a scale. A scale charting how cool a given person is!
At the uttermost bottom sits the Lord of all Frat Boys, Trev's new beer-bong in hand. This creature is a one. Now imagine a man transcending the opaline heights of this order. Imagine Steve Jobs. He is a ten.
Where do you fit in this hierarchy? Before answering, consider your honest answers to the following questions:
* Would you consider yourself a writer?
* Do you own a spankin' laptop computer?
* Does the prospect of meditating near a waterfall soothe your nerves, recently frayed from difficulty convincing your co-workers of the benefits of switching to Python?
* Is fruit improved by completing a full passage through a jungle-rat's digestive and excretory systems?
* Can you read Chinese?
* Do you like to look at Chinese characters anyway?
* Is this awesome?
* Would you prefer to peruse a crumbling, leather-bound menu-tome over something so pedestrian as a wall menu?
If, after carefully considering the answers to these questions, you still consider yourself to be an eight or higher, have I got the coffee shop for you!
It is called Funnel Mill, and if you like it I hate you.
Is there anyone on an iPhone who is able to view the mobile version of Vox on their phone? Because the Vox knowledge base tells me that it should route me automatically, but I have not once been able to view it as a mobile version and the full version that I see on my phone does not allow me to comment.
I think that Vox does not play well with Safari sometimes. :(
Made for me by the balloon guy at the Japanla party at Rise @ the Highlands in Hollywood. :)
This is what happens when your mom steals your comfortable little kitten heel shoes and your sister lends you her shoes. :P Hobbling!
Thinking about going to the Funnel Mill Rare Coffee & Tea soon! Well, at least whilst I am still on break because, man oh man, will it get busy soon enough. The ambiance sounds lovely and I've never had coffee made with a Syphon maker! Also? I am intrigued by this Kopi Luwa "poop" coffee from Indonesia! If you are so inclined, you really ought to read/watch the other reviews. :) Not sure if I am intrigued enough to hand over $65 for a cup, let alone $500 for a pound of it, but you bet I'll be watching to see if anyone buys a cup!
Another event I am looking forward to because I am silly:
If you are in the LA area, you should come! :D
