So, one of these scammers called our office today, asking for our machine's serial number. When I asked where they were calling from, they immediately hung up. -

I don't understand why people are so obsessed with saying "WHAT IS AIR??" right now when they find something funny.
I like getting into new phases with new and/or seasonal vegetables. Recently:
- brussels sprouts
- fresh artichokes
- butternut squash -
Tea/Chinese pedantry
Despite what you may have heard to the contrary, Pu'Er (aka Pu-Erh, although the H is superfluous [in Pinyin it is just Er so I don't know who added it] and adds no information regarding pronunciation) is not pronounced Poo-Air, but rather Poo-Ar (like the letter R) in Chinese ( Read more... ) -
Major tea success
I joined 750 Words, because I haven't been writing private journal entries for a year or two now and it's good for my brain for me to do so. It emails me reminders every day (the site, not my brain).
Adam and I visited The Chinese Tea Shop on Columbia and Pender on Saturday afternoon. It was super awesome. I learned how to make Gongfu Cha, tasted ( Read more... ) -

I'll post it on Tumblr, or if it's really really short I'll tweet it. I have way more "followers" over here on my LJ, although a lot of them are probably inactive, but unless something needs to be ( Read more... ) -
Adam update
Adam went to the doctor. He has a hematoma (internal bleeding) in his leg, which sounds really terrible, but it's actually good that he didn't tear anything, because then he'd have to have surgery. The doc said he will need to lay in bed for about a week, and then do lots and lots of physio (you Americans call it physical therapy). He doesn't have ( Read more... ) -

Adam was hit by a car last night. He is okay in that nothing was broken, but he's still quite injured and is probably going to the hospital today (definitely not going to work). The driver ran a red light, like just wasn't paying attention at all, and if Adam had been one second further ahead, he might have died. Luckily he had many witnesses, and ( Read more... )
