On my way home from LSA tonight (Thursday), I stopped at the 'Bucks at Barnes & Noble. I sold it to Sam as getting some caffeine for the late night I'm going to have preparing stuff for work. But really, I wanted to try the Matcha Latte, which is not sold at the stand alone 'Bucks (3 of them) near my office.
Walking in to B&N, I spotted a familar person in the magazine section. This time, it was Daniel Dae Kim. Hanging out incognito - white tshirt, loose jeans, slippers (flip-flops) - but there's no hiding a hottie. I guess it makes sense that when a show with such a large cast is taping on the island, you're bound to run into some of the actors. It's just funny to me that I've seen two of them in the past two weeks.
Oh, and the Matcha Latte is tasty. Though I'm embarassed to say I was high maintenance girl and had a second one made for me after I realized that I'd received a regular one rather than the non-fat I'd requested. It's not a weight thing - my ears get clogged when I drink regular cow's milk. I felt compelled to share that last tidbit with the counterperson (and the customer who was in line - she thought it was funny).
As an aside, Stef rules Google when it comes to Matcha Lattes.
Okay, time to get cracking.

Second, I am SO jealous. It's bad enough that you're in an island paradise, but the fact that you get to hobknob with stars from my favorite show? That's too much.
You are too cool for me.

Based on my discussion with an employee at the stand alone 'Bucks, and someone else's experience in another city, I suspect that the Matcha Latte is available nationwide, but only at the B&N locations.
