Damn right it is. It has Peter O'Toole in it!

You like? It's the Flatiron building, of course, here in the city.

Yours had lots of cool colors. Well, excepting the random bloody guy. But I laughed at the poutine sign.

You aspire to be a dramatically lit neurosurgeon?

[zippyknowsbest]

It was the only one they had for 'doctor' that I liked. Apparently Flickr doesn't distinguish between MDs and the other kinds.

(Unrelated to my mosaic, but the picture itself was really neat-- it was taken in Vietnam, and the power was out I think because of an earthquake, so they hooked up the operating light to a truck's diesel engine so that the doctor could keep working on the critically wounded, or something like that.)

You did not just use the word "neat."

And on top of all that, there was time to take a picture. Remarkable.

My childlike enthusiasm for the neat things in the world doesn't manifest too often any more. I stand by my word choices when it does.

Everyone's got a camera these days.

I like tea.

Do you have a favourite tea?

[zippyknowsbest]

Tea's marvelous.

My favorite is a chamomile and cardamom blend-- so wonderful in cold weather, warm and naturally sweet, with a hint of spice. Close in the running is a delicious mango-vanilla. You?

Well... I like Christmas Tree at this time of year!

I love spicy teas in general. Like a super-hot chai. And I like a green tea with something like lemon myrtle to take away the bitter taste.

Can you make tea, Zippy?

[zippyknowsbest]

Oooh, the green tea with the lemon sounds good. Have you tried Egyptian licorice? It's got that spice you might like in it.

...how do you mean, make it? I brew mine loose-leaf for the most part, and the chamomile and cardamom I blend together myself with some other herbs, but I don't, you know, grow the tea bushes myself and dry the leaves or anything. That'd be kind of hard to do from my apartment.

Plus I have a serious black thumb.
