So I'm getting the hang of lapsang souchong.  It's kinda like drinking a woodfire.  Which isn't half as bad as if sounds.

It's funny, though.  I like things like black licorice, and I'm acquiring the taste for lapsang souchong, but I can't stand alcohol or coffee.  They're just too bitter.

The high today was 25F.   It hasn't got that warm in ages ( Read more... )

FYI: Lapsang Souchong is weird.  It tastes better than it smells, but... yeah.  (It was for sale cheap and I thought I'd give it a whirl.)

My alarm clock is broken.  It just went "Pbbth!" this afternoon.  ::is sad ( Read more... )

Anybody else find the artistry of crop circles gorgeous?  I'm looking at some examples on telegraph.co.uk, and they're amazing.  All the swoops and circles and rings and patterns... there's one they've got that's actually a phoenix.  I love it.  Giant field art ( Read more... )

Guys, I'm on my deck, with my laptop, in the sunlight, drinking tea.  Next to a strawberry pot.  In what way is that not awesome ( Read more... )

I'm in rather a sour mood, but I think this may be because I'm suddenly busy.  A download changeover at work kinda crashed and burned yesterday, and I've had something to do every night this week except tonight.  Hmm.  I don't want to rethink my schedule, but this may take some consideration ( Read more... )

My collection of choral work recordings is getting bigger.  Z handed out practice CDs for our upcoming concert, and included were "Wake Up Ollie Brown", "Worthy To Be Praised", "Ani Ma'amin", and "Praise God's Holy Name."

Still really want to find "The Awakening".  In SATB, please. Argh ( Read more... )

Busy day today.  Had a haircut and a wedding, and then I cleaned the kitchen.  The wedding, which was for my supervisor, was pretty much the antithesis of Rachel and Elliot's wedding two weeks ago.  (I like the word "antithesis."  It's fun to say.)  Which is to say, it was at a country club, and all fancy, with a full lunch and waiters going round ( Read more... )

So I'm tagging old LJ entries, and I come across a poem I wrote about tea back in January, 2004, and barahirion commented with a classic Who quote about tea.  I loved the quote at the time, but naturally had no idea I'd someday be a full-fledged raving Whovian four years on.  (Not to mention that this was a year before the New Who debuted ( Read more... )
