Full of cheesecake, and inspired

flexagonMmmmmm, just got back from an insanely good dinner at Milano's. Suffice it to say that dessert was key lime cheesecake with raspberry topping--it took fortitude but we almost finished it off.
I had the best idea today! Of course, it involved not working at my company (let's call it DSB). I've had this idea before, namely to have a coffeehouse that's not insanely loud all the time, but this time suddenly I had details for it. I have a really cool name for it... and a definite vision. It would involve the obvious coffee and baked goods; it would have decent muffling in the ceilings and walls so that it could have people in it without getting too loud; and of course it would play nice jazz, classical and old rock music. Quietly. It would have a few shelves of random books for people to sit around and read, and a big glass-fronted cabinet of games for people to play. The genius is that I'd also have copies of those games behind the counter, to sell. Probably also a single big bookshelf of books to sell... all my favorites, and eclectic stuff, occasionally used or rare, that could rotate. It would have a couple of computers for people to get 15-minute doses of Internet connectivity, and wireless ethernet so they could bring laptops, and it would have a cat (and free Benadryl behind the counter, of course). Why this place would suddenly seem so real to me just because I have a name for it, I don' t know, but I could seriously see myself doing this when I'm older and tired of the rat race... which I will surely someday become, as I'm already tired of many of the rats. A likes the idea too, and wants to make mixed CDs to play there.
It's taking me a while to get my colors and stuff set right on this journal, but I wasted a few minutes making an icon today. It's slightly offputting but it's the obvious thing, and definitely goes with the color scheme. I like how the fetus seems to just float.
