My Starbucks has a couch now!

First things first. My favorite Starbucks - the one I consider my "home base" - has a couch now.

They swapped the couch for one of the comfy chairs with another Starbucks. I tried it out tonight. It was grand, grand, grand.

Of course, it looks kind of odd to have three plush purple comfy chairs and one black leather couch - but who's counting.

I tested it out - because I do a lot of work on my couch at home with my laptop and a small table. Unfortunately, I never could find the right position, based mostly on the fact that the end tables are just too low, so I'd wind up sitting hunched over and trying to type.

Also, the end tables are small, so with a 15-inch computer, a wireless mouse and a cup of coffee all competing for space - I was always worried I was going to spill a venti coffee onto my keyboard. Since I've killed two laptops, two BlackBerries and one iPhone, I've got good reason to be concerned ....

So, probably back to the tables for me - although I'll definitely use the couch on those occasions when I want to read. It makes a nice change.
