star bucks: the next generation

this is how it always goes: you learn a new word (like "percipient"), and suddenly everyone's using it; you discover an actor you'd never heard of before (e.g. Jessica Chastain) and, out of nowhere, she's in every new release (and gets to kiss Brad Pitt); you hear some interesting new tidbit of trivia (it's a little-known fact that...) only to realize, shortly thereafter, that everyone already knew that and didn't you hear so-and-so saying that last week? and where have you been all this time?

yep: the world's conspiring against you. and you'll never know why it's choosing to do it in this particular (aka inconsequential) way.

anyway, it's according to this logic that, having witnessed the first arrival of Generation Z to the coffee shop only a week ago, i of course now hear a gaggle of barely-twenty-year-olds galumph into the café. the lead girl -- in sheer wide-eyed wonderment -- shouts out to her friends: hey, guys! it smells like coffee in here! wow. very percipient.

and now back to translating...
