With more than 600 Starbucks cafes closing, the once ubiquitous coffee stop is now calling me. I don’t set foot in a Starbucks if I can help it. Who would want to be like the crowd and drink what everyone else drinks?

On a similar note, my fellow blogger in crime has made me set a rule for myself. I’m no longer allowed to blog about a) writing, b) the writing industry c) any other writing related things, unless they specifically relate to a topic that I am discussing that is unrelated to writing.

She does this because she loves me.

I’m kind of excited. The world’s opened up with new possibilities — much like tonight. I have a friend flying in for a long layover, and she’ll want to go out. Los Angeles beckons! Where to go? What to do? Who knows?! Who cares?!

 I’ll be back with a post for the weekend.
