In Which I Heart Starbucks, John Cusack, and Dylan Moran

I have mentioned before that I do a good deal of my work from Starbucks while I am here in Swansea.  I have talked about how I feel at home in Starbucks, even though they make you pay for internet access.  I have also, in another post, talked about my somewhat strange crush on Dylan Moran.

What I haven't mentioned is that Dylan Moran works at the Starbucks here in Swansea.

Well, the Starbucks-ified version of Dylan Moran works here, anyway.  I have a feeling that the real Dylan Moran would survive exactly one shift working at Starbucks, maybe not even that.  He'd probably think it was completely out of order for me to ask him for a cup of coffee, then grab a cup for himself, spike it with Whiskey, and bugger off.

Whereas the Starbucks-ified Dylan Moran nicely asks me if I would like whip on my mocha, calls me "beb" with a cute Welsh accent, and continues about his work.  To top it all off, he even wears a cool, black "coffee masters" apron instead of a lame green one.

There are probably several of you out there who feel a need to point out that I am in fact here in Wales for two monts because I am visiting my boyfriend, and I probably shouldn't be pining after baristas while in such company.  Don't worry.  Ashley knows about my crush.  He has even seen the guy, and thiks he looks much more like John Cusack than Dylan Moran.  (Apparently, long-ish black hair and a similar mount isn't enough of a comparision of him).  It's a higher complement to compare him to John Cusack to be sure, but an inaccurate assesment, in my view.  

You see, I think Ashley looks like John Cusack, and Starbucks-ified guy looks like Dylan Moran.

No contest, really.
