I tried to park outside a building to wait for someone. It's usually calm there. Just so happens, a celebrity was there in a Volkswagen Bug taking up space for two cars. He'd also driven in the wrong way. He smiled as if to say, "I'm so cute and famous I can get away with this." He didn't make room for my car. I've never seen a famous person in that nei...

Have you become violently angry over the subject of tea bags?
Are there no teas sold in your immediate area that you would care to purchase?
Do you know the difference between first and second flush Darjeeling?

Warning: Contains a few swear words
I got in a thing today or maybe the whole day was a thing. There was a cold wind slicing through the city, first from the West and then from the East. I went to get some God-forsaken zombie produce and you can guess how happy I was about that. Up at the crack of 10:00 a.m., into the sunblock and out the door....

Curry powder taken in a certain way can be anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and help break down dietary fats and oils. It can aid coordination and task performance, including driving and martial arts. I discovered this when I tried to take turmeric but it had side effects for me. I realized that most curry powders have turmeric in addition to other spices....

Dealt with misogynist haters on Twitter over my response to an Onion post. Blocking idiots. One of the haters was a "feminist" female. The Onion has taken a turn for the worse in regards to women-hating. Before that I was blocked for the first time that I know of on Twitter, by a tea blogger. At first he was unreasonable about a photo he used that...

I proceed

-- by Luminosity
I proceed. I am led by impulse. I am led by emotions. Sometimes I am led by a craving for baked goods. I have been led by avoidance. Lately I am led by better judgment, by considered opinion, or by God. I fly crooked and circle back. I pull backwards. Sometimes I attack. I feel feelings or I feel the lack. I try to includ...

I've cut my hair.
I went to the bookstore, then to a diner to read a delicious book on conspiracies. It was eleven p.m. on a weekday, but the parking lot was pretty full. It can be like that there. Can't say it's the food or the service.
I only eat a donuts once or twice a year. I wanted a chocolate donut but they didn't have those. I ate a re...

Dude Was Wearing Knee Socks

A sixty year old guy in the bookstore was wearing neon green knee socks. They were a half inch thick, made of some kind of synthetic material, and added a semblance of width to his broomstick-like calves. The socks descended into neon yellow shoes. From the knees up the guy looked like a normal but mousy aging male. His companion looked normal except for...

decaf green tea, decaf black tea and 2 more...

USA Finding Decaffeinated Teas I've written this to help people find decaffeinated black or green tea in the US, preferably in bags. I omitted the least expensive common supermarket brands. If you find brands like that here, it might be that they are English and I wasn't familiar with them. The vast majority of decaffeinated black te...
