The Best Part Of Waking Up Is Vengeance In Your Cup

     Natural Directions is United Grocers private label brand of organic products (their other, more recognizable brand of foodstuffs, at least in the Western United States, is Western Family, which is equally inexpensive with no regard to eye- catching packaging) and as such has the bland, generic appearance one might expect of budget- priced fare; the front panel is dominated by a white field and features slapped- on clip art, colors dull as safety scissors, uninspired typography, and a logo straight out of a lazy 7th- grade marketing class project. All of which is appropriate because if you're buying ND, you're going for the price point, not the pretty label. Which is exactly why I purchased this bag of coffee. Today, however, I noticed and felt compelled to point out the illustration on this package of Natural Directions French Roast because it is awesome:

      This image has nothing to do with coffee or its consumption, is unusually artful for what amounts to generic packaging, and seems to only tie in to the product because (judging from its posture) the depressed and anxious gargoyle (or emaciated devil rabbit) is glaring at the Eiffel Tower. IT HATES IT SO MUCH! and is waiting for the sun to set because it knows that as soon as the darkness closes in it will become free to unleash its rage upon the unsuspecting populace of Paris with its fiery breath. See, there's a pun here, but I'm not a fan of puns, so I'll let you figure it out.
   
     

I've recently changed my fb privacy settings due to... privacy concerns.
If you are not on my 'friends' list, here's what you may have missed:
- I cooked something. It was quite an event.
- Comic books are a thing I continue to enjoy, especially Batman and Batman related merchandise, although current comics are mostly crap. Bonus: a new album of my Batman merchandise collection.
- I noticed we had some seasonally/ regionally appropriate weather. I may have experienced it, or looked out the window at it, but my opinion of it was proportionate to its perceived affect on my mood. Also, I used 'affect' correctly. This means me a writer.
- That new trailer for that movie was uninspiring, but I'll probably see it eventually because I was going to anyway. Whatever, the book/ comic/ cartoon/ TV series was better.
- I used the 'f' word in response to a friends post, because I'm edgy as fuck.
- I linked to an internet article/ youtube video/ grumpy cat meme about a subject that is relevant to my interests.
- I linked to my own blog entry that is a copy/ paste of the exact same thing I just posted on facebook, as a comment to that post, after liking the post I just wrote. Because mustaches. And beer.

     Some day there is a house. In the basement of this house there is a black clad man, well in his cups, sporting indecisive facial hair and having no concern whatsoever in regard to starting a sentence with a prepositional phrase while working out rudimentary, out- of- key harmonica parts to old Pearl Jam songs and dancing around like a lurching jackass. This morning, however, there is only a nerdy apartment, a ridiculous and editorially offensive run- on sentence, and some pretty bullshit fiddling- around with tense.
