Well, my girlfriend will be happy to hear that. We're running out of counter space and I'm too much of a gadget junkie. I'll probably just get a cheap-o hand-held grinder, and if I ever drop the hammer on an espresso machine, I'll upgrade the grinder as well. Thanks!
freshly roasted, good prices, delicious.

I use mine every morning and afternoon as well. I often use a normal grinder just do it coarser but if you really like ground beans you can just request a french press grind and any shop will grind it correctly. As others said unless you get into the espresso world and can throw down the $300 for a nice grinder just stick to the good 'ol cheapie. Speaking of Espresso that's my gift this year eventually. I'll use some money I got for christmas and I'm getting a Rancilio Silvia and the Rocky. I can't wait!!!

peabodypride theres one thing I think we can both agree on, American Apparel for the win. idk if you are into any bands on saddle-creek (bright eyes, rilo kiley, cursive etc) but almost all their shirts are American Apparel and they're like 12$ each. I got a Bright Eyes and a Neva Dinova shirt for like 20$
Also got this:
Nitto track drops (duno if they are B-123's or not)
Action single speed crank set

I like most bands on Saddle Creek, especially Rilo Kiley. Most companies use AA shirts because they fit well for fat and skinny people alike and they last a long time. It's a luxury clothe for sure (now DC makes knock-off AA hoodies, and lots of places sell plain colored shirts), but you pay for the cut and the good life.
Well if you go to the mall, every company is selling knock-off AA stuff anyway (Pac Sun comes to mind, Zoomies, and so forth.) So it's kinda mainstream now.
Love it. I chose it over the eee series because of the trackpad buttons and the build quality, also because of the 10" screen. I would have preferred a HP mini because of the near-full size keyboard, but I could only find it with a (very slow) solid state drive. The build quality is great and the keyboard isn't terrible. The trackpad isn't Synaptec (the good brand) anymore, but you can replace it. The 3-cell battery only lasts 2 hours but you can buy a 6 cell one. I bring it to school in my bag daily and sometimes it falls off my bed, so it's fairly durable.
Hate UO.

facemask with integrated hoodie, robe, slippers (everything I asked for).
Bike related and on it's way are Brooks Proofide for the b-17 I gifted myself, planet bike hardcore fenders, and some new brake pads.
Because I'm an ass who had to learn the hard way about over torquing parts, a new brake lever will soon be purchased as well, though that's another gift to myself.
