ACCENTS

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “Oh, she’s going to talk about how she loves the Irish accent” and so on and so forth. Well, nope. Okay, well in all fairness the Irish accent has been fun to get to hear everyday.  This post, however, is about one of my favorite places in Dublin to hangout-my coffee shop called Accents. It isn’t a grab your coffee and go type of place. Here you order your coffee, find a seat and they bring your coffee to you. It also isn’t served in one of those cheap 110% recyclable cups either. They serve it to you in a REAL coffee cup. It’s wonderful. And since I am remotely on the subject, I must mention their hot chocolate. They don’t use any of that cheap powder....no, they serve you a cup of steaming hot milk with chocolate morsels for you to stir in. So, as I was saying, this coffee shop is a come and stay type of place. All the seating is leather chairs and beanbags.  “Chill” is a good word to describe it. My roommate Geneva and I both love this place and can easily pass an hour or two here doing homework, reading, or blogging! (I am sitting in Accents right now as I write this ironically enough.) Tonight is free live music night! I so wish I could just pick this place up and plop it down in Elgin, IL. Of course, then I would probably be in studio less and spend all my money on coffee...

So I know this post was short and sweet and completely non-philosophical but I just wanted to share a small and wonderful part of my life here with all you faithful readers.

Cheers!
