Went to the coffee shop today. Got my breakfast there, coffee was really good but was served a little too hot. I walked out at first to try and sit somewhere and eat, then come back for some beans, but it was so hot I had to run back anyway. Not that there was anywhere to sit, which is honestly something that I never really thought about until I needed to sit somewhere. At least it gave me an excuse to walk back in and get the beans and chat a little with the owners.

I bought the same roast that was in the cup (their Uganda coffee, they listed what they brewed up for the day in the shop) and made some. I messed up the brewing a bit (cut the bloom phase way too short, meaning there was still a lot of gas in the grounds by the end), but it still came out pretty good. I am kind of worried that the coffee won't really be something I want every day though; it's very deep and dark and rich. But it is pretty good.

That was basically the only thing I've done today, besides play some Arknights and make another EDH deck. Making decks for Commander is just an impulse I have a hard time fighting even though I don't like the format. I should probably work a little more on my Korean tonight.

Also, in case I've never said it on this blog; for those that don't play MtG, EDH and Commander are the same format. It was originally called Elder Dragon Highlander, because your only options for your commander were the Elder Dragon cycle from Legends. It's still called that very often even though it hasn't been part of the rules for the format for, I would guess, almost its entire existence.
