Extra! Extra! Sado is forgetful!

I hope, my darlings,

that you will all readily forgive me for my horrid forgetfulness, especially as:

1. You have no idea what the forgetfulness issue is even about, as I don't think I have mentioned it before AND
2. I will make up for it immediately.

What I forgot was, that, while E. was here to rescue me re: the photos of my bookshelf I had promised, I also asked her to take a bunch of pics of me with some of my tea and with my Kitty Of Doom, Typhus. (We tried to take a good picture of Typhus on his own as well, but he was extremely jumpy for no apparent reason).

So here they are:


(nobody ever admits it, but you can see the murder in his eyes, can't you? I know it.)

I got him off the internet (which is a cautionary tale for all of you - murder kitties are online, sweet kitties are in the pound or with friends), as it were, in an ad, when I just moved out and got my own place. I was turning eighteen in a few weeks, and being alone scared the shit out of me, which is why I opted for a cat as a pet. The cat is had in mind was:

1. Female
2. Small
3. Sweet and/or lazy

Typhus, on the other hand, is:

1. Male. Well, not anymore. I had him neutered - not that it calmed him down in the least.
2. Well, okay, he's not huge, so that's fine.
3. Neither of those. To be fair, he did calm down a bit lately. But I swear I could use him as a watchdog. I'd be totally safe.


Hey, remember how I said in my "about me" bit that everything dies in my hands.
I wasn't kidding:


(these are my dead orchids.
I mean, how little water do these even need? And they still die on me :( )

And no, I am not an alcoholic. It's madeira wine, which I used once to make tomato-meatballs. They failed.


(in conclusion: I like tea. A lot.)

Though I have to be fair and say I never drink the Camomille. That's The Boy's. I don't think he drinks it now anymore, either, though. Odd.
Am going through a vanilla-heavy period right now (vanilla lip balm, vanilla body butter, vanilla tea, a blog named after vanilla tea,...), but my Twinings Vanilla Black Tea isn't shown here since I keep those in my special Tea Box, which is cute and made of wood and which I love love love... but forgot to take a picture of.

And on that happy note, I leave you.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for my Feelgood pt. 2!
