Tea party

I have fallen in love again with jasmine tea, and I am glad I had the foresight to bring back so much of it from China (though at this point I'm wishing I would have brought back more). What is so great about it is that its flavor is so light. It takes away the chemical taste of city water without adding much of its own flavor. In short: it makes ( Read more... )

OK, so my friends and I invented a variation on Risk called Nuclear Risk. It's basically the same, except you use cards to blow up territories. Really fun.

Actually it might be better. I've been reading a lot lately about how China uses tons of pesticides on its tea and that drinking Chinese tea can be a lot like poisoning yourself. Nonetheless, it still tastes pretty good and I hate to throw it out. My remedy: pour hot water over the leaves to rinse them off before using them for tea. I'm probably just tricking myself into feeling better and still slowly bringing about my death.

I think I'm going to stay in Greg Page for the rest of the year. That way I won't lose my deposit and I won't have to bother moving my stuff again (moving is one of my least favorite things to do). It would be nice to actually have roommates I like, but I'm really not up to dragging my couch down those stairs again anytime soon.

Also, I will be around most all the weekend (studying for finals), so when you some around, give me a ring.
