KIROtv: A man armed with what appeared to be a grenade was shot at the new federal courthouse in Seattle during the noon hour on Monday, police said.

Rumor has it that they denied him a latte at Torrefazione or something. OK, maybe not, but they’re still reporting in the details. Besides, more than a couple of times, the reporters have jumped to the wrong conclusions – a number of times, the story is “A” on Monday morning and quietly modified to “B” by Tuesday morning. I guess I’m allowed to speculate on my own, if I want to.

Completely off topic, I’ve recently discovered the Matcha latte at selected Starbucks stands and all Seattle’s Best Coffee… tastes just like bubble tea when poured over ice – none of the local Starbucks stores have it, though, which is really pissing me off… SBC’s aren’t as numerous and the campus shops are closed on the weekends… especially because only Starbucks makes fraps and I want a Green Tea Frap; it’s a regular item in Japan.

That mermaid had better get to steppin’ and update her menu!
