Bwah, erika! That last bit cracked me up.

And I completely agree with you: That case seemed like bullshit from the get-go. It was a vendetta, plain and simple. I've missed some episodes, and boy did I miss House. The twist at the end of tonight's was so good.

ROOIBOS!

I only put milk/cream in some of the black teas. Cheerfully in chai, of course. For mental medicine sweet milky orange pekoe (the cheapy sort is best) cannot be beaten. Never in herbal or green or white teas. Seems off to me.

One of the most disgusting tea-related drinks I've ever had was the Coffee Bean green tea iced latte. God, I like iced tea lattes and I like green tea, but that was teh nast.

Never lemon, and these days rarely honey. I don't sweeten much, period, and never if I'm not putting in (heavy whipping, as is my wont) cream.

Shit. I totally thought I was up to picking up my prescription. No, I was just misled by a moment's ease during that phone convo.

Yeah, Aileann, while it is true that the probable cause involving drug cases can involve some fancy footwork, because police don't usually see behavior that conforms to the strictest legal definition, Tritter is the Savion Glover of law enforcement. House could probably sue for malicious prosecution. And, bastard or not, acclaimed life-saving doctor? He'd probably win.

Hmm. reading tru all that made me realizes that although I generally take my tea plain... I generally will do tea whichever way it comes.

Kat, should you decide in favor of pink, Manic Panic, despite the name, is nice and wholesome and pretty thoroughly fetus-benign. Or, if you go non-pink, I used Tints of Nature to kill the gray all through my pregnancy.

Sure to be a very late cross-post, as it took me 25 minutes to type this. Matilda's been weeping every time I set her down today, and I just now had to soothe her out of another meltdown. Fortunately for her, when she's being held she is cooing and snuzzly and utterly adorable.

Heh, did I ever tell the story about my sis getting hit on while driving - and not by someone in the car?

Newp! I swear, getting weird commentary from paused-alongside-cars is my single greatest argument about quitting the nic, somedays.

I totally get the rationale and logistics and all that reality, but I really like Kat's pink streaks. So there. I can't do pink, or really any other shade but blonde with my current box o'dye, so I envy it.

Aaaand y'all have completely made me NOT want tea.

t not really here, just checking email for a confirmation

I have some pomegranate white tea that is not making me happy at all. Should I try the Roobios? I love saying it, roobios!

yep. the dark is the natural color. I could also just cut all of the pink out, but I've been enjoying wearing my hair in a braid. That will happen, I'm sure, in June or so.

Braids and such are fun to be able to do. I just called to bump my next hair cut back another three weeks. Now I know where "too short" is with this style. I can't clip it in a faux twist. Horrow!

And I will miss the pink if you cut it out. Though given my geography, I can keep the pink in my mental Kat picture and we could both be happy.

JZ! thanks. I'd love to stay pink and am sure Special Effects is probably fine. I just don't want to deal with the bleaching of all the new growth to make it be so.

Is that the TJ's? It's kinda sour, but I still have it every now and again. It will eventually get used up.

I heartily recommend the rooibos. Almost like black tea, but not exactly. I never pause to think that it's caffeine free.

I will miss Kat's pink too, and lack your geographical invulnerability.

Okay, I gotta go make me tea.

Woot! I've almost cleared off the bed and made it well past my bedtime goal! now I have one more basket of clothing to sort, fold and store and I have a verifiable new wardrobe! So exciting. Thank you, burrell!
