so how many adjectives do you take in your coffee? the issue at hand: whether schmoofy lattes are rendered socially acceptable when they are seasonal. is it somehow OK to order a nonfat decaf pumpkin spice latte because of it's association with autumn and halloween? clearly, ordering a soy halfcaf sugar free vanilla double latte is just annoying. for the sake of argument we're leaving out the fact that all things pumpkin flavored are cool by virtue of their urban hippiness.
speaking of urban hippies. the campus is crawling with very cute, slightly shaggy grad students these days. they only seem to surface at this time of year, messenger bags slung over shoulders, grey t-shirts, fleece vests. not birkenstocks, exactly- something less smelly. you picture them pouring over t.s. elliot or noam chomsky or something in the little coffee shops (more grungy and cool than the pumpkin latte places). oh right. we don't have any of those... the coffee shops i mean. but we do have the urban hippies- at least in october.
