blergh. need better tea.

Waking up at five in the morning and not being able to get back to sleep: bad.

Having a real cup of tea at 6:15 after giving up on sleeping: very good.

Using the extra forty-five minutes to get some writing done: pretty decent.

Coming to work and being unpleasantly confronted with how awful the tea here actually is: extraordinarily bad.

I mean, seriously. I'm brewing a large mug of tea with a single teabag and using water that's not quite boiling. (I do microwave it after running it into the cup, but that doesn't help enough.) I knew that it wasn't very good tea to start with. But compared with the strong cup of keemun hao-ya a I made this morning . . .

LUCY: This is awful! It tastes like you put a brown crayon in some hot water!
LINUS: You're right. I'm sorry. I'll go add another crayon.

Unrelated to tea ... were Moira or Jonathan interested in the tickets?

[jazzfish]

I don't know if I have a valid email for you or not (is @vt.edu still good?) but Jonathan has expressed interest in picking up the spare tickets. Email me and I'll put you two in touch. Or you can just go straight to him, that works too.

@vt is still good. I don't know if I have a valid e-mail for you, either. And I definitely don't have one for Jonathan.

I will try the one on your profile.
