i have to say, i'm in love with the new iced tea trend. no longer is there just "iced tea", but there is iced green tea, iced black tea, iced white tea...different brands, different flavors...it's amazing. earl grey in a bottle? haven't tried it yet, but bring it on!
of course, it's kind of obnoxious that tea drinking has become the cool thing to do. where were you years ago, when the coffee trend was in full swing? i don't know about you, but i was sitting here with my twinings earl grey. but i guess i can't really complain, considering that if it weren't for the interest of the masses, i'd be stuck gagging down lipton brisk in a can.
so poseurs, thank you. i guess.
in other news, this weekend i had my first ever cockroach situation. as in, i saw my first cockroach ever, aside from the giant south american ones they have under glass at the liberty science center. this bugger was real. and big and brown, and crawling out of my bathroom towards my bedroom.
of course, i did what any other tough girl would do. i jumped up on the living room chair and screamed and screamed and my roommate screamed and our visiting friend screamed. i almost cried. i honestly almost vomited. finally the roommate killed it and cleaned it up. she was a little less scared, as she had seen them before. not me! i can deal with mice. they don't bother me. rats? not as good, but still ok. but roaches? no. they have been added to the list of my deathly fears. right along with tornadoes, bees, and bears.
we ran out for bagels and ate them in the park. i then came back and put six combat discs around the apartment--our apartment is small, so it may have been a bit overkill, but i don't care. then i wore my galoshes.
by that evening i had calmed down a bit and was actually able to touch things in my apartment again, like, the couch. still in the galoshes, though. it's been about 56 hours since that encounter, and i haven't seen another one. hopefully there are NO MORE where that guy came from!
