Trying to Keep an Open Mind

I've been trying to keep an open mind about the new Krispy Kreme that just opened up in Dupont. A couple people have told me that the doughnuts, just after being hot glazed, aren't that bad. While still not all that excited I do feel I have to try the doughnuts before I totally blast them forever (however, I still have major objections to this store even existing or being referred to as a normal Krispy Kreme. What's wrong with calling stores like this, or the displays in the grocery store, "Krispy Kreme Express" or something to denote a difference from your classic store? I feel that these stores and grocery store displays are hurting the Krispy Kreme image in the long run).

So last night, while in Dupont, I hoped to end the evening on a doughnut note. The "hot doughnuts now" red light wasn't on, which made me even less excited, but I was still going to give it a whirl because someone else was buying. So I got up to the counter to order my doughnut:
Me: Can I get a hot glazed doughnut?
KK Guy: umh...
Me:: Oh, sorry, (thinking he was flustered by the "hot" specification) just a regular glazed is fine.
KK Guy: We don't even have any regular glazed left. We're all out.
Me: ::sound of me dying inside::

How can a real Krispy Kreme store run out of doughnuts? Couldn't you just bake some more? Oh, that's right, they don't bake them on the premises so running out is pretty easy.

This store is a travisty, a sham and a mockery. ::wait for it:: It's a travishamockery.

Core is a Classic

  
I've been spending some time rediscovering some of my favorite rock albums; the stuff that made me a music fan in the first place. I've decided that I don't care what anyone else says: Core by the Stone Temple Pilots is a classic album.
