8:51p | Work So, I have been remiss. Until Wednsday there is a "friends and family" sale for my work (Sur la Table). There is an online code. I don't know if it requires my name to use. If you are interested, let me know. I'll be at work (Embarcadero and El Camino Real) from 0900-1400 tomorrow, and (if you get word to me before I leave, or call the shop) I can probably be persuaded to stay. |

10:09p | Girl vs. Wall Posting before words, but also before I get too smashed on Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron to type. I sent six problems a total of eight times tonight, which I'm pretty sure is a new record. This is the third time in a row that I've climbed a lot in a shorter period of time. I think I sank some points into strength and endurance when I wasn't paying attention. Now I have puny T-rex arms. Current Mood:  accomplishedCurrent Music: Dragon Age |

10:31p | UK press apparently drunk as lairds again This delicious piece of metamedia should inspire us all to make sure we stay awake and sober on the job. It also reminds me of the last item in this older piece from The Weekly Dig's always-excellent Media Farm. |

10:31p | Hey guys! I think the last time I posted was around a year ago sharing a painting I did that was inspire by Reid. Well! A couple of weeks ago I received an email from a very awesome Hugo Reynolds asking if it was okay that he designed a shirt using that painting:  !!!!!!! At the moment I think only three were made and he was nice enough to send one to me. I figured I'd share it with y'all, clever right!? :D |

9:59p | Okay, that* was terrifying. ...and awesome. ETA: Ha! I fell in with a couple of folks during/after the basic safety class and they were all, "Climb with us tonight! Join our Google group for additional future climbing!" So I did, and glanced at a recent thread, and it turns out that I have apparently accidentally happened upon the very same group with which ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} abyssinia4077 's friend--who had agreed to let me tag along on Thursday--climbs. The world is teeny-tiny. If this further turns out to be the same group as the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} davis_square climbers, I will laugh and laugh and laugh.* Climbing. On a proper wall. For the first time since...2005? |

9:54p | Tea, the casual social drink! This was one of those afternoons/evenings where I was an Awesome Freelancer. This is what we call those days where, if I was this productive and sharp and motivated and clever all the time, I'd actually be able to go freelance and not starve and it'd be fun and not just stressful. I get about four weeks' worth of those days in any given calendar year. So I will just share with you that today I finished another mini-project for the Great OWW Home Reno (a self-directed site-updating production by Yours Truly), shovelled non-insignificant amounts of workshop support mail, dispatched a whole bunch of Ideomancer second reads to their various dooms, managed to get back in touch with two authors I'd lost touch with about their stories, wrote a book review for the December issue, tidied my apartment a bit, and blocked out my schedule for this week, since I appear to actually have a social calendar going this month. There are five actionable e-mails left in my inbox, and two of them are easy. Mwaha. The other thing I have to do tonight is this post. A while back, a gentleman from Golden Moon Tea dropped me an e-mail asking if he could have a link on the website (yes, sadly neglected right now; I'll get to it, I promise). I don't make a habit of linking things on the personal website that I don't actually, well, like and use; longtime denizens of here will probably have picked up that I am not really hot on advertising in general and prefer to have it blocked from my life whenever possible, never mind not being huge on being a conduit for it. Also, having been a bookseller for four years and change, I'm...in some ways a touch sensitive about my credibility when it comes to taste and recommendations: when your taste in something is being used as a barometer, positively or negatively, for people to decide which books they're going to buy, you get really hardcore about giving honest, unbiased evaluations of things and not recommending something unless you mean it, so as to not lose that customer's trust. I told the nice gentleman this, and he offered to mail me some samples. Okay, thought I, mulling over whether this constituted selling out or not, and when they arrived, I brought them to work to share with ginny_t, who is among other things my Dayjob Partner in Fancy Tea Snobbery. We drank the tea over the past few weeks and Had Opinions on the matter.Therefore, this is my tea review. Sugar Caramel Oolong This was okay -- not too sweet, not too tannic -- but really, really, really light. ginny_t noted she is not an oolong drinker habitually for just this reason; I have it sometimes, but also tend to prefer something stronger. I'm a Russian Caravan kind of girl. This is really light. So, kind of struck out on grounds of personal taste.Honey Pear black tea Okay, now this one was really awesome. Gutsy and sweet and sort of smooth, the way things involving honey are, and smelled and tasted distinctly like real pears. The balance was really good -- not too sweet -- and all elements were in there as advertised. I would have this one again. Nom. Coconut Pouchong I was feeling a little sicky the day I had this one, which may have spoiled my objectivity on the matter. What I do recall here was that the predominant taste was young coconut: if you've ever had coconut water or juice, it had that same strong, sharp mid-tongue kind of flavour. This decidedly did not taste like fake coconut, but it tasted a lot like coconut and in some ways not enough like tea? I do like nice long pouchong leaves though. Pretty! Nepalese Afternoon Tea Advertised with "notes of honey, lotus, and fragrant sandalwood." While obviously a good-quality black tea, it didn't really strike me as fancy or awesome among black teas. It was there. It was there nicely enough, but mostly it was just there. Tippy Earl Grey This, though, was nice. There is a certain degree to which earl grey is earl grey is earl grey, but you can tell the good stuff from the mediocre stuff very easily, and it's to do with the balance of bergamot flavour to black tea ballsiness to other. This one apparently has lavender in it, and you can spot it there both in the nose and when you taste it. It really added something, and it was subtly different enough to make the whole thing interesting without taking this out of the subgenre of earl grey. Bergamot was light and not cloying and tasted oddly fresh. I'd possibly go back for seconds on this if I had to get specifically earl grey (not my favourite, although I'll drink it). I split this one with a different coworker; ginny_t doesn't like earl grey and Other Coworker needed tea badly that morning, and knows my desk is where it lives. He gave good report.So, general verdict? 1) I'll probably buy some of that Honey Pear sometime. 2) I probably won't actually link this tea place on my website, since I can only vouch for one unqualified win here out of five; otherwise, while it was good-quality stuff, I wasn't head over heels. That's maybe not enough to place an ongoing recommendation on the wider internets. 3) I find myself not opposed to people sending me free tea. I suspect it's not hurting my popularity at the office either. This has been your first and hopefully not only Tea Review. Good night and good luck.

5:28p | Hi everyone! Name: Ragna Age: 28 Location: Southern California Favorite TV Show: Eureka and Castle are basically my fun shows. For more serious shows, it's NCIS: Los Angeles and Criminal Minds. Other Shows Watched: NCIS, CSI: NY, CSI, Bones, Supernatural (though I'm a season behind at the moment) and Dollhouse (need to play catch-up on Thursday and watch all of this season). I also have started Merlin and Warehouse 13 and I do plan on finishing them before 2010 (and that is including the new Merlin episodes airing in the UK right now). Favorite Quote: Don't really have one. Favorite Color: Blue, just about any shade, but particuarly cornflower blue. If I was a criminal, I'd be... A cat burglar like Selina Kyle. |
