Oops!

Sorry about not updating. I've been so busy lately, and not even time to draw sketches! I will probably continue to be busy until July 20 or so.

Oh well, here's a little tidbit on my day yesterday.

Yesterday as I was leaving my house at 6 AM to go to work, I turned around at the last second to grab a granola bar and proceeded to smash my left ring finger with the door. A few seconds later, I lost my hearing and gained a ringing in my ears instead, I felt dizzy and sick to my stomach, and was literally gasping for air. Someone said when I mentioned this to them that it must have been bad enough to send me into shock. If I weren't sitting down I definitely would have passed out. Thankfully my boyfriend was there and he helped me call work to say "I'm going to be late, I just need to stop feeling faint." All over a goddamn finger!

So I went back in and got my freaking granola bar and some juice and some water and peanut butter on bread. After about 20 minutes I felt good as new and went into work late. ( Boo, this is the second time I've been late ;3; )

Now then... Yesterday was the Boilermaker (I'm not sure if other countries know about it, probably not- It's the most famous run/walk race in NY). As soon as I got there, I was working on a nonstop rush that lasted five and a half hours with no breathing break inbetween. At some point I was working deli so I tried to make myself two breakfast wraps and pay for them later. I dropped them as I was pulling them out of the oven. It was the only food I dropped that day. Later on I made more, but that was after another two hours of rush. Plus my bandaid on my finger kept falling off and I kept having to go get another one (I think I'm going to have to replace some bandaids there. I've gone through all but a few of them with this injury and another I had.)

There's another big reason as to why it was so busy besides the fact that we were swarmed with customers. One of my coworkers called in sick. He had the 4:30 AM shift and we really needed him today. I try not to spite him too much even though I know it's just because he wanted to sleep in; I very highly doubt he felt as awful as I did (for twenty minutes). xD

However, the tips were quite nice since most of the people were from out of town. C:

Afterwards I went to the mall and had a great time with my buddies. I bought unmentionables! 8D

So I Lied

So I lied and decided to write another post. In all reality to, it's not my fault, it's this guy's.

On Arrival

Why hello.

WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE? D8< ? Ah, that's why. Well, welcome. Since my sister started the blog, welcoming you is pointless. She serves the coffee, I do not. I just entertain people.

I am the GREAT RATTLECAT T MANDELBROTT. Your new MASTER!

I live to entertain you.

Speaking of entertaining, I have a radio :D. It airs every Friday, for those interested, I'll have links and whatnot to it shortly, which normally means, in two weeks.

Since this is a 'sketchblog' of sorts, I should probably, you know, throw some art in.


There. Now you have art. This is just a lil dabble of Raichu, my favorite Poke'mon. I was testing textures and attempting my hand at lineart (you can clearly see I failed). So yes. I'm working on a few images, since Sugar Caine decided to pose for my sketchbook this morning.

So yes...I'll...leave you to my sister. She actually knows how to talk to people :D

Welcome to Coffee Break!

This is a blog meant for journal writing, art posting, and a webcomic between myself and my sister Rattlecat. Obviously, this being the first entry, I'm not entirely certain of the future plan of this blog, but hopefully it'll be an enjoyable experience for myself, my sister and any readers we might end up with.

First off, an introduction. My name is Chaz, your resident zombie host, and I hate coffee. However, I adore working in a coffee shop. This blog is supposed to give off the same sort of easy-going atmosphere, complete with a venus fly-trap in the corner.

... Yes, you read that right.

It was my sister's idea. With any coffee shop comes flies and sucky customers, so we needed a fly trap to get one or both of those groups. What's your name, little guy?



... "Sugar Caine"... Those initials are SC. For Sucky Customers. Which you will eat.

I like it!

Rattles and myself will be keeping up this blog, so watch this space for more updates and adventures.
