Different Tastes ...

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Due to a horrible gelatinous blob of cat on my lap a few days ago, I was unable to flee as I usually do when Mom and my sister turn the DVR to their favorite shows, Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice. This did not go well:

ME: So, this show consists entirely of unlikeable people making the worst possible decisions at any given moment?

MY SISTER: Isn’t it great?

ME: … Remind me again why you didn’t like Cloverfield?

MY SISTER: The camera was too shaky.

ME: Fair enough.

MY SISTER: Not to mention Cloverfield distinctly lacks Taye Diggs taking off his shirt, something this show delivers with great regularity.

ME: Well, as long as you have a good reason.


Just for that I made them watch the Jack Frost MST. If I get stuck watching incompetent doctors whining about how it turns out getting pregnant by their best friend’s husband or whatever was a bad idea, IMAGINE, it’s only fair that they get stuck watching some meat-haired Russian chase feathers and get turned into a bear by a guy in a mushroom hat. Though that logic might just be the head cold talking.

I am definitely bringing Jack Frost with me when I head to the farmstead for Christmas.

No matter how many times I see it, I STILL don't get Father Mushroom's lesson.

("I thought Jerry Garcia was Father Mushroom ... ?")

It's easy: Picking up stick = redemption. :D

Peet's tea?

[padparadscha.livejournal.com]

Indeed! Pride of the Port is one of my favorite for quite a while.

I was surprised when I first tried Peet's because I like it so much--for a chain, it's damn good!

Now if only they'd open up a franchise here in SLC ...

Try the Holiday Breakfast Blend!

EDIT: Oh durr you already have.

The head cold, it speaks the truth!

I happen to be drinking Peet's tea right now, a friend mailed me a whole box of it, isn't it awesome? ^.^

[padparadscha.livejournal.com]

Peet's is the most delicious! Your friend is awesome.

I am loving their Holiday Blend, but I am not so sure how I feel about Winter Solstice. I do love their Earl Grey and Yin Hao Jasmine, though, and of courese Pride of the Port is the best thing ever.

Also, the Lung Ching Dragonwell green? It is described as "buttery." I figured it was like with wine, where it's an abstractish analogy, but no, this tea actually TASTES LIKE BUTTER. It's the weirdest thing.

Winter Solstice is ok. I don't like it often, so if I get a tin it ends up lasting well into spring (which means I don't get a tin).

Ohh, I haven't tried those yet, but you're making me want to try them. So far my favorites are the hibiscus and Xiao's blend kinds.

Grey's Anatomy was the first ever series where none of the main protagonists were enjoyable.

I spent most of teh first two seasons hoping for more airtime for Baily and Joe

While I can definitely see the appeal in shirtless Taye Diggs, showing them Jack Frost does seem like the sort of turnabout that is fair play. (We showed that to my dad over my summer break, wondering if it might have made slightly more sense to a guy who had actually experienced the Soviet bloc. Turns out it didn't.)
