merely talk

I had a lovely afternoon yesterday, hanging out with Evi, window shopping along Broadway. It was lovely. I bought some more fair trade, organic tea. It's a bit more pricey, but it's loose and tastes so much better than the stuff from Safeway. And it's also nice knowing that the people who picked and dried the tea are still alive, and are paid well. It takes some of the guilt out of drinking it.

Work was fine. It was only one short shift, so I had no problems there. After work, I brought my CD wallet up from my car. As the weather changes, so do my musical tastes. I needed to rotate out the fast, peppy summer music, for some more subdued, contemplative fall music. So now my CD wallet is full of Sarah McLachlan, Pete Yorn, Rufus Wainwright, The Stills, and David Grey. With a bit of U2 and Live thrown in for fun. As well as the Chillout Mix I got from Janice the other day (thanks Janice, it's really awesome).

I had a few people over after work. We ended up watching the old Disney Robin Hood. You know the one with the foxes, and bears and stuff. You get so much more out of that movie once you know how to read, I tell ya. Did you know that Friar Tuck is supposed to be a badger? I didn't! How about that the sheriff of Nottingham is a wolf? I always thought he was a weird looking bear. Very cool.

It was a fun night, I got to make tea for people. Which I love doing. And I used my new-ish tea set.It's so pretty and modern looking and I adore it so. Everyone was deadly tired, but I still had fun, and I hope others did too.

My mom came back this morning. She's flying out to Ontario tomorrow really early, so she's spending the night with me. At my request she brought me her copy of the BBC's Pride and Prejudice. So I have 6 wonderful hours of damn sexy Mr.Darcy to look forward to. I can't wait. In fact I think I'll be putting tape one in right now.

I love days off!
