tough to be a gangsta with chapped lips

brief foot update: it is healing, though still swollen and a little sore.  I no longer walk with a limp now, so that is good.

seen on MARTA this morning:

A guy doing his best gangsta look: hair braided back, baggy shirt, baggy shorts, earphones blaring something loud, indifferent sneer on his face…

…all completely ruined when he reached into his pocket, pulled out a small pot of lip balm, dipped his middle finger in, and carefully applied it on his lips.

Our breakroom has a coffee/tea machine that uses small individual pouches of coffee grounds or tea leaves to brew up each cup.  There are many coffee choices: columbian, house blend, sumatra, kona blend, hazelnut and decaf.

I was waiting behind my office-mate, D, while she brewed her coffee.  “What kind did you pick?” I asked.

“kama sutra.”

“…what???”

“SUMATRA!  I meant sumatra!!!”

“so how was YOUR night????”
