"Damn fine coffee"

I haven’t found a job or a new hobby yet but that’s okay since I decided I should focus studying for the LSATs more seriously. I’ve been staying up late studying and have been drinking a lot of coffee to compensate. During one of these late night sessions, I stumbled upon this hilarious old commercial for Japanese canned coffee featuring the Twin Peaks cast.

4AM can take you to some weird places.


I ended up ordering a case of Georgia coffee. I’ve had it before when I went to Japan, it’s alright. But I paid about $3 a can when it cost $1 a can in vending machines there. I’ve had a problem with impulse purchases for a while now. Just last night I bought an electric lighter even though I quit smoking cigarettes. I wonder why I have such a fascination with collecting junk. One of my favorite hobbies is going through my closet and looking at all the random stuff I bought and threw in there years ago. Nice junk is pretty to look at, I guess. People say that money is better spent on experiences than items. I agree, even if I buy a lot of junk, I rarely make expensive purchases. I would say though that items themselves can be mementos of experiences. Even junk can have its uses. When that coffee eventually makes its way over the ocean, I’ll sip on it remembering about how I was so bored with studying that I started looking up commercials.
