I adore my hygienist. She does an excellent job cleaning my teeth, she's really nice, she keeps me entertained, and she remembers to mix up unflavored pumice for polishing my teeth. As of today, I know a bit about her sister, because this ended up being the topic of conversation. Said sister is a Buffy fan. :) Of the two dentists (I think they're married, but they have different surnames), I prefer the woman, because I trust her a bit more. But they're both very nice. My teeth feel clean and shiny, now.

I hated Starbucks already, just 'cause it's Starbucks, but now there's one in particular that I hate even more. (Unless this is a company-wide policy that I just hadn't encountered yet, in which case I think I may actually end up boycotting Starbucks altogether.) Anyway, at this particular Starbucks in Westwood Village, you can't plug in your laptop. You're allowed to use your laptop, of course, and it's even a T-mobile "hotspot." Not that any other sort of wireless works, though, apparently, and that just sucks. But to not be able to simply plug your computer into a power outlet? That's mean. They actually covered up all the wallplates. I discovered a jack in the floor that I was using, and one of the employees came up and told me I wasn't allowed to plug in my computer. I ask you.

That's a really stupid policy. Are they afraid people will jack up their electricity usage costs or something? Starbucks really isn't that great. I like their Tazos and their Chocolate Malts, but that's it.

Their caramel apple ciders are lovely, too, but their coffee sucks. And yeah, isn't that just the stupidest thing you've ever heard?
