Obligatory Update

Last night, I went out for gyros with Andrya, James, Kendra, Noel and Riley, then we went to see 30 Minutes or Less. I thought the movie would be completely crude and full of tasteless humor, and in some parts, it flirted with those categories, but overall, it was actually pretty funny.

Riley's leaving for college on Thursday, making him my second friend who is abandoning me for Utah. Speaking of which, April is state-side for the next two weeks. April, I know you occasionally look at this blog; we need to hang out.

The gyro place serves Italian sodas. I'm filing that away under "super important information that I can never forget."

Today, my parents left me with express instructions to clean up all of my old stuff that I've been going through. I always have good intentions when I say I'll do things, but today I got distracted.

Yesterday, I watched the series one finale of Sherlock, which is an amazing show; if you haven't seen it yet, you should. It's only three episodes, and the second series isn't starting for a while.

Of course, now that I've finished the show, I've been reading the fanfiction, which has reminded me of the always-known fact that most people put milk in their tea. I personally have never had milk in my tea before. Yesterday, I thought that putting cold milk in one's hot tea sounded disgusting. I mean, tea is a water-based drink; we don't put ice cubes in milk for a reason.

But then I figured that I like milk, and I like tea, and that maybe, just maybe, they might be shippable.

So instead of going through my old stuff, I have spent an hour and a half of my afternoon experimenting with tea. I've even been pouring it out of a tea pot, rather than just taking it directly for the kettle. I've tried Earl Gray tea and Orange Spice tea, forgoing the honey that I usually use as a sweetener.

Although, maybe I should try it. "The land of milk and honey" is considered a good place, after all.

So instead of eating lunch, I had two tea pot-fulls of tea, in the process trying not to finish off our last carton of milk for the week. We should be having more delivered tomorrow, but my parents actually like milk in their cereal (which is most emphatically not shippable).

Milk and tea however, are shippable. What's more, the milk lowers the overall temperature of the tea, making it so I don't have to get out the little square tea-holder things.

The live action version of The Hobbit is coming out in 2012. I really wish I would have remembered this fact at a later date, because now I really can't wait for it to be released.

That reminds me, I have to watch the first two Batman movies again before The Dark Knight Rises comes out.

But, before I do that, I need to watch the season finale of Leverage. I don't want to be the loser who hasn't done that yet.
