Sooo.... remember how I said I have a stupid amount of tea? And that, yeah, I'd probably buy more?
Well, I've updated my list of Stores I Am No Longer Allowed To Visit to include a fancy (read: expensive) tea store. I went in there thinking I'd maaaybe check out this one jasmine oolong I like and get a tiny bit of it... and then the cute girl behind the counter started showing me really awesome teas, and all of them were expensive but I wasn't fully processing the prices, and then she was aghast to learn that I'd kept the tea I bought years ago in this paper-plastic little bag and said I should really get some tins, and since they had tins there and I figured I should get tins in general for most of my tea anyway... and then I made the mistake of mentioning I like black tea and she showed me this really good black tea....
I came out of there with 3 teas, 2 tins, and having spent almost $80 >_<; I didn't realize it was going to be that much or I would have gotten way less.
So. That place. I am not allowed to go ever again.
(But I wish I wasn't sick right now because I really want to try these teas *_*)

In other news, UPS can suck it. I wish they wouldn't leave packages just lying around (which USPS doesn't do, thankyouverymuch). One of these really old 1950s books I bought might have been stolen, and as it stands I have no idea where the other two things are that I ordered that I really really really wanted to be able to bring home with me tomorrow-- but I may not be able to if it doesn't show up any time soon.
What I find even more irritating about them just leaving packages on the ground is that they have to drive by the bloody rental office to get to any of the apartment buildings. Could it occur to them to drop a package off at the office so it's not stolen? No, apparently not.
