Word to the wise: don't order tea from The Tea Table. I've had bagged teas that taste better than their loose offerings do, which should tell you right off the bat to stay away. Granted, I've had some bagged teas that are delicious (Ahmad's teas come to mind, best bagged tea I've ever had), but loose leaf should be superior. Sadly, it's not the ( Read more... )

Woohoo, third round of monsters are changing in Ryslig, and Lavi's going to be a shade. To be honest, I thought he'd end up as a demon because he's an exorcist, and the mods would go for the obvious ironic choice, or possibly a goblin because he hits some of the personality traits. But nope, shade, which is a pleasant surprise ( Read more... )

If any of you are ever in NYC, you need to go to Babbo. The place is exquisite. A+, would recommend. Big sis just took me there as a slightly-belated birthday lunch. We were going to go to the Bosie Tea Parlor, but the place was crawling with children. Small space + feral hipster spawn = not good times. Also it only had a 'B' rating for cleanliness ( Read more... )

So, considering I'm having a good time at Ryslig and actually feel like RPing again, I went poking around for other panfandoms to join. The results weren't encouraging; it seems nine out of every ten games are fuck-or-die sex games. Most of the games that weren't of that sort are either dying, dead, or have reached endgame and are now closed ( Read more... )

I have three different kind of pumpkin tea on hand right now: Simpson & Vail's Pumpkin Spice, Celestial Seasonings' Sweet Harvest Pumpkin, and Twinings' Pumpkin Spice Chai.

Bring it on, fall. I'm ready for you.

Today when I left to go pick up some groceries I found a note taped to my door. It was on all the doors in the E line, in fact. Turns out somebody in this apartment line has been throwing raw meat out their window ( Read more... )

It's impressed me not only on how pretty it is, but on the community as well ( Read more... )

Final Fantasy 15 actually looks...good.

I haven't wanted to even look at a FF game since the steaming shitsack that was 10. The last one I played and liked was 9. 13 should have won me back, given my love of strong female protagonists in games, but sadly, Lightning was the only good thing in that disaster ( Read more... )

So, the NYC subway system and buses are full of bedbugs! Oh joy! I'll just stay in my apartment forever if that's okay with everybody. There's been at least 21 sightings over the summer. When it first started, the Nuisance was still here, and he made sure to tell me that he'd "accidentally" gotten on one of the lines that was heavily infested. ( Read more... )

Now I can get back to work. That asshole cost me serious time on this book ( Read more... )
