ita,

don't shop at Teavana. I can guarantee you that for the black and green and white teas, I can find a better tasting alternative for you that will likely be cheaper.

I lost my shit in Teavana earlier this week when I got a seriously pushy salesperson. I wrote a note to corporate and yelped that store into negative. I was only in there because I needed to go to the apple store and passed by the place on my way.

I should have fucking known better.

Upton hasn't been importing from Japan this year, because of both real and imagined fears of radiation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The way you people talk about Teavana, I literally walk on the other side of the mall hallway to avoid it. And I don't even drink tea!

People on Twitter are comparing the performance at Meydan to Olympics Opening Ceremonies. Maybe this is Dubai's bid to do a Games: see we can do the cheesie Opening ceremonies -that's the important thing, right?

My cat just came and sat on the yarn I'm trying to wind/de-tangle.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just took a shower, and any minute now I am going to get dressed and leave the house!

It's been a while since that happened.

Dubai is going to be so fucked when the oil runs out.

It's true. I hope that they have plans. But they're certainly living large now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Teavana has the pushiest salespeople I've encountered in a while. It makes staying on task an effort, but for what I have, definitely worth it. In fact, I went a brewed a larger pot of the Jasmine tea to last the through the morning

I can guarantee you that for the black and green and white teas, I can find a better tasting alternative for you that will likely be cheaper.

Where? Right now, what I'm partial to in Teavana I've compared to Upton, and preferred what I got. Oolong chai, jasmine green, and rooibos hibiscus.I think I may try curling up in front of the TV with the pot of tea being kept warm for an hour...and then after that I can reheat it on demand. Fastest kettle I've ever owned.

Later today there will be a trip to the art store, and the grocery store. I need paper, and I need ice cream. Also, beef and rest.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have been to the rink and had a good hour-long skate. I'm now at work and hope to get out of here in an hour or two. Tonight, going to see some sort of motion picture entertainment.
