chattanooga charbucks
well, it finally happened. chattanooga has its very own starbucks store, with a drive-thru to boot. i was out running some errands over by the mall, and spotted a couple of the employees hanging up the "now open" sign out front. apparently today was the big day and they had balloons and free samples inside. now, i have to admit, i'm not a big fan of starbucks, as they fall into that whole category of corporate entities that do their best to put mom-n-pops out of business. but, i do have to respect their consistent product, and i admit that when i'm away from greyfriars its just about the only coffee i'll drink. and from what i hear, we're about to get a handful of them here; one on UTC campus, and another in the read house.
...
mmmm.... i got to play with a D70 today over at the wolf camera shop. wow are they nice.
no big weekend plans... i just heard on the radio that the play version of glengarry glen ross is being put on at a local theater, so i might try to catch that tonight. and tomorrow cornerstone is tearing down some buildings for the widows harvest ministry.

What?!, do they hire people to do this or is there an evil comment machine out there running amuck?
andy is being a bum. I've setup massive comment blocking on all the chattablogish domains, and setting it up on loapher would be cake, if andy would take the 2 minutes to do it, or let me do it.
Posted by: JosiahQ at March 28, 2004 10:22 PMokay, okay, mt-blacklist has been installed, and yes, its very cool. not only does it selectively block comment spam, but whenever i get mass-comment-spammed, i can delete them all and rebuild the site in a 2 clicks. so, hopefully less and less spam around here over time.
