  שלי חמישה דברים Favorite – 2012 Edition 

  I go through an annual exercise of picking my five favorite things that I own. The reasons can be practical, sentimental, or simply because I like it. In my selection, I try to stay away from selecting things that can be easily replaced, like my phone. The exercise is to find out more about myself, and what are the things that make me unique.

  Since I’m in the process of moving to DC, I now have the least amount of things than I think I ever have. As I went through my house, and looked around, it was hard to find things that I wanted to keep, and were not also easily replaceable. My list, as it stands now, is:

  

  • my espresso machine, a Francis Francis X1
  • my Devil Robot Be@rbrick 400%
  • my concrete boxer
  • my signed Mr Potato Head
  • my Figment toy

  My Figment toy is a new addition, and has just recently come out of retirement. I’ve had it packed away for many years, but it came out, and became one of my favorite things because of a game I play with it. My girlfriend and I hide him in different places, for the other to find.

  My signed Mr Potato Head. It’s on loan from a dear friend. It’s one of the greatest things I have, and it’s signed by the designer, Brett Koth.

  I bought my concrete boxer for my grandfather, and took it from Evansville, IN to his home in Ohio. It rode in the front seat of my convertible, with the seatbelt on. After my grandfather passed, I took it back. It’s been a good dog the entire time. Boxers are great dogs.

  My Devil robot 400% Bearbrick kept burning itself into my brain until I bought it. While in NYC, I saw it at Toy Tokyo, and didn’t buy it. For close to a year I kept thinking of it, until it went on sale. That was all the reason I needed to buy it.

  Coffee. ביטא. My Francis Francis X1 helps me manage my addiction to caffeine, and is stylishly retro while doing it. Still, to this day, it’s one of my favorite machines – and it has a brass boiler.

  Yesterday was the kick-off for the לואיוויל 48 Hour Film Project, and while there, I interviewed a few of the film makers. Swan Coots of team Anti-Villian summed up the weekend, and as I interview others, and asked them the same questions, the workflow for all seem close to the same:

  Kick-off, write, alcohol, write, sleep, קפה, film, alcohol, sleep, קפה, edit.

  The Perfect Macchiatos of Louisville 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  Hi I’m Paul, and I’m a coffee snob. I’m not real proud of it, and I try to hide it, but now I’m blogging about it. There is not many drinks that scream snob more than the macchiato. Those stuck in the Starbuck’s world of coffee don’t even know what a real macchiato is because Starbuck’s has rebranded it to be a fluffy drink full of carmel. That broke my heart, BTW.

   

   

  I went to eight Louisville coffee shops, and ordered a macchiato with a little extra foam, and here’s what I got.

   

  Day’s Coffee / By far the best macchiato in class. They know how to do it right. They keep their cups warmed and their shots are pulled with attention and care. The cup is the right size, and it made we tingle inside when I saw it.

   

  Quill’s / A good and solid choice. This macchiato was delicious. I love the environment, and the meeting room upstairs.

   

  Heine / This macchiato was served in a paper cup, and my though is ‘what’s the point.’ They are so busy, that paper is standard, and this shop is a local Starbuck’s replacement. Don’t get me wrong, it’s wonderful to have such a strong Louisville presence, but steer clear if you want a macchiato.

   

  Java Brewing / They only had single shoot demi cups, so they served my double macchiato in two separate cups. This had class all it’s own; I got to have my cake and eat it, too; at least for one cup.

   

  Sunergos / Their coffee drinks are really good, and this macchiato was no different. It’s not a stand out, but is a solid choice.

   

  Blue Mountain / ‘Now, what’s a macchiato?’ That was the response, and I hate that, because the salad I had with it was one of the best I had in Louisville. It would be super to have a place I could get some of the best food in Louisville, and espresso based drinks. The macchiato was bitter, and the foam was sad looking.

   

  Perkfection / Who can beat Twister in the morning with a macchiato? This Indiana shop is amazingly good, and offers a great lunch. One of my best memories of this shop is when it has a picture of a rooster up behind the counter.

   

  Sanoma / No demi cups for their macchiatos, and that’s sad, but this shop has meeting space and has the “Starbuck’s” look with clean and new storefront build. The staff is very friendly, and the Gelato is great.

   

  Starbuck’s / WTF? A macchiato with carmel? I asked about it, and the part line is that a macchiato has carmel in it, and a ‘espresso’ macchiato is what I wanted. Since it was Thanksgiving Eve, and I wanted a little sugar drink, I ordered a Starbuck’s Macchiato.
