« Ring, Ring, Ring... | Main | The Redcoats Are Coming! The Redcoats Are Coming! » November 2, 2004Killer HeadacheI love coffee. I love the way it smells, the way it tastes, the way it makes me feel. My usual drink is an iced quad venti vanilla espresso - four shots, over ice, with vanilla. The drink evolved over the years. Originally (circa 1994), it was a Tall Latte, but it grew in to a Grande, and then a Venti. Vanilla became a staple sometime in the mid-90s, and the thing went nonfat shortly thereafter. I was working crazy hours at Pacific Rim Network, needed the kick. I was consuming two or three of these things a day. For the record, one Venti Vanilla Nonfat Latte has about 400 calories. Which explains why I went from jeans with a 32" waist to 36" around that same time. Hence: need for a low-cal, high-caffeine bev. And now I'm off 'em. At least for this month. Mary and I are taking part in something her sister does every year, called "No in November." Basically, you pick a vice and kill it for 30 days. I picked caffeine, sugar and aspartame. Why? Well, I'm kind of addicted to the caffeine. Sugar makes my energy all wonky. And aspartame is really something I shouldn't be ingesting, anyway. But God, my head is killing me.
