When I go to the Waves coffee place at Broadway and Spruce, I always get the same thing: Large, extra-hot, dark mocha, with a slice of banana loaf. Today a particular Japanese counter person took my order -- which the entire staff knows, she repeated it back as "llama loaf" -- Has she always done that? Ahhh! that is sooo cute, or maybe I should say sooo kawaii. How many times can I afford to go back for another slice, and how many times can I get her to confirm the order before she gets suspicious?

A description of the weather thus far, today, here in beautiful, Vancouver, British Columbia, makes a better word cloud than sentence.

Here weather should be spelled "whether," as in whether or not it will rain. Well, we've had lots of rain, in a wide variety of styles, and we've had chilly, cool, warm, overcast, hot, and sunny, and we've had it all mixed together -- what they call a real unsettled day. It seems to be settling down now, to be a calm, late Spring evening.
