Will These CP3 Make @gquiks487 Quicker?

, , , , ,

Will these Jordan CP3.VIII AE make @gquiks487 faster than he already is?

Found these Chris Paul signature kicks line at Ross, and @gquiks487 was looking for this Multicolor Rainbow colorway. Pretty comfortable shoe for guards although it has an awkward name. For the record, CP3 is for Chris Paul who wears the number 3. This is CP’s eighth (VIII) signature shoe under the Jordan label, and the AE? I think that stands for Artisan Edition which are special colorways made for th playoffs.

Q and His Supermoons

, , , , ,

Give the game ball to Quincy “Q” Smith as the Warriors of UH held off the Matadors of CSUN in the final minute. An off-balanced game saw Sai Tummala’s triple put the Warriors back up. As the Matadors defensive pressure mounted, the ball ended up in the hands of freshman Sheriff Drammeh.

Oh the drama! Sheriff made a good move to get to the basket as time was ticking down. But the youngster didn’t go up with authority and left the weak-hand layup short.

But there was Q, flying down the lane, slamming home the miss with the Supermoon Under Armours flashing for the cameras. I can’t identify these neon green kicks from Under Armour. I’m guessing the older Curry One Low??

Hawaii’s not looking to good headed to Irvine for a rematch. Fleming isn’t back to his old self, Valdes is sick, and to me, it looked like Roderick Bobbitt was fatigued or sick himself.

Starbucks Smoked Butterscotch Latte First Taste

, ,

starbucks-smoked-butterscotch-latteBrach’s and bacon is what came to mind after sipping the new Starbucks Smoked Butterscotch Latte. The scent is unmistakably butterscotch, instantly reminding me of small kid time sucking on those bulk Brach’s Butterscotch disks from the market. Then the depth of the smokiness follows and for some reason, I thought of bacon. There’s a sort of savory/salty/bacon-y tinge that follows the sip which elevates this drink. And it’s not overly sweet either, just a nice balance of flavors. Seriously, I think I found my new favorite drink while it’s still on the menu.

From Molten to Smoked

, , , ,

Valentine’s Day is done and so are Starbucks molten chocolate themed drinks. But in its place is a smoked drink in the form of a Smoked Butterscotch Latte. Smoked butterscotch? I have no idea, but I’ll have to find out.

Along with the Smoked Butterscotch Latte is a very green Citrus Green Tea Latte. Tea and a latte? I’ll probably pass, but that green color is appealing in an unusual sort of way.

I’m hoping the smoked butterscotch is more original than the molten chocolate. Even when cold, the Molten Chocolate Latte ultimately tasted like a very deep mocha.

Time to Get Versed in the Harry Potter Universe?

, , ,

Although the official opening for Universal Studios Hollywood’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter doesn’t open until April 7, 2016, “technical rehearsals” are underway. These soft openings are unannounced and somewhat random, likely to open and close whenever. But the point being, you can actually experience Hogwarts in California now (if you’re lucky).

Never interested in the Harry Potter series previously, I may just have to dig into a book (or two) to get versed with Harry and his pals.

Dear Employee

, , ,

did-you-knowWhen I ask that the stamps of two separate loyalty cards be combined, I don’t mean add one set of stamps to the other card and give me back BOTH cards. I mean I’m grateful that 14 stamps were transferred to complete one card, and I still have those 14 stamps on a second card, but that’s not how it works. I guess we’ll call it even since you didn’t add stamps for my $4 drink transaction.
