Thanks muchly to Lala for sending some my way! I love root beer, and haven’t had a root beer float in ages (the picture on the pouch makes me want to experience that again sometime) so in order to try to emulate root beer in a cold, frosty mug, I decided to cold steep this.
And it’s truly yummy, like root beer with a stronger black tea background. Kind of wish I saved a bit for a hot cup to compare but this is an excellent alternative to actual root beer.
Speaking of experiences, I went to a movie at the theatre for the first time since 2010. Mockingjay broke my four-year streak. Not as captivating as the first two but I still can’t wait for the next to come out!

you broke it for that? lesigh
Ugh, yeah. I showed my mom the first two on Sunday night and we thought screw it, let’s see the next one in the theatre now. Clearly I don’t get out much.
Do you not like going to the cinema?
I don’t go to the movies much anymore either. Mostly because, the sound is too loud and I have to wear earplugs to make it even bearable. Even then the sound is so loud sometimes it still causes me pain.
Angrboda, I love going to the movies, but I just never had a life whilst going to university. Now that I’m done with it, I have time to go again. :)
I’m sorry the sound systems are too loud for you, yyz. I can see what you mean. I was surprised at how loud it was yesterday.
yeah…we like the movies as a treat, though now that we have the new tv, even harder to justify going since we can be comfy AND control the volume.. i had a headache the last time we went
Oh yeah, hard to justify when you can sit at home and watch a movie on your own time in your own chair on a nice big flatscreen. For free! I recently bought a 39", and got a Shomi subscription, which works well enough for me. But still, it’s nice to see a movie… that’s supposed to be super awesome… in the theatre every once in a while.
We enjoy going but we’re very particular about what to see when there, so we only go maybe once a year or something like that. It has to be a really good film, otherwise I just feel like I’ve wasted my time, far more than I would if I’d watched it at home.
That’s exactly how I feel about it too, Angrboda. I can’t justify spending that kind of money all of the time to see random mediocre films.
We have a comfortable economy in this household, so it’s not really the money for us so much as it’s the time. :) Somehow wasting time seems even worse than wasting money with some things.
