Starbucks are actually offices for aliens that are plotting to take over our planet, that's why they have to be everywhere.
That's my theory, because I think the coffee sucks, and I can't see any other reason for them being every where.

i think i have to agree with your theory, there is no other reason for it. its funny when i first got into the apartment i saw an ikea catelog sitting on the end table. i thought of you right away :)

You aren't in the wedding madness filter, so you didn't see that the first thing we actually bought for the wedding was from Ikea.
I do not have a problem.

That's a hell of a thing. It must be amazing to see in person all those images we've seen over and over again in pictures and movies.

The Starbucks kills me.

I was enraged when I saw a new Starbucks right across the street from the famous Sacher hotel in Vienna. What a way to cheapen a wonderful area :(
