It’s late, I’m tired, and Steepster’s server sucks right now but my tea queue is building to an almost scary point and I wont have much time to log stuff tomorrow because my best friend ever Robyn gets back into town for the new semester! She was gone all summer (because the lame-o lives in Regina, and is just going to school here in Saskatoon) but now school is starting again, and tomorrow is move in day!
I’m gonna go over later in the afternoon after she’s got all her stuff into the new dorm (this year she gets an apartment style dorm instead of the dinky ‘little cubby’ she had last year) and we’ll order pizza while I help her unpack! I’m so excited! Not that all you wonderful Steepsterites aren’t great, but in person friends are fantastic too.
So even though I’m tired I’m dedicating the next hour to as many tea notes as possible (so pardon the likely excessive typos) – starting with this one, which was a cold brew.
And, it was actually a pretty good cold brew. Like the hot cup, the raspberry was super fresh and super present – but somewhat unlike the hot cup, this cold brew definitely had more of a confectionery buttery pastry taste and frosting vibe to it. It wasn’t just raspberries; it truly was a raspberry poptart. And a refreshing, low cal’ one at that.
Also interestingly, the day I drank this tea I wore my “Cross Word” T-Shirt to work, which I haven’t done before. I really don’t think of this shirt as anything special; it just has a pattern over the whole thing that makes it look like a crossword before anyone has filled in any of the questions. Apparently the seniors at my mall got a real kick out of it though; at least four times in the day I had groups of seniors commenting on my crossword shirt and “how fun” it’d be to fill it out. I also had one senior, with an obvious lack of personal boundaries, reach over the counter at till and directly touch my shirt/me as he “wrote down some funny words” (as he put it).
Creepy, and uncalled for.
That is creepy and uncomfortable and just WRONG.
You should write “don’t touch my boobs” on it.
PS. Marzipan, I DID look at that latte mug for you. While it’s fucking HUGE it looks to be pretty sturdy/solid and all the little pumpkin decals on it look firmly on there/in place. It’s very cute :)
