Lung Ching Dragonwell. This is a tea that never fails to satisfy.

John Connor's dead. Didn't you know, coming from the future 'n all?

Astra - just realised you changed your avatar! Can we rely on nothing being constant in this life?

Rosé Bubbly in my glass. Celebrating the fact that my BH has just got offered a paid job, after volunteering for a year.

Congrats to your BH!

Regarding Astra's avatar - I agree. This will take some getting used to.

In my cup - CS Tension Tamer tea.

Cuppa #7

A new Assam.
Assam Superb Tea from Fortnum and Mason.
It is the first cup, but I think it is better than their previous Assam blen - Assam Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe Tea.

Many reasons for wearing a more appropriate skin.

Age. I am not as vigorous as I used to be, so I don't have the energy to bang the keyboard 24/7 nowdays.
Dog corresponds with my character in many ways

Sometimes wolf squeezes in but only briefly.
I decided to listen to my brother's advice and Stitchy was there too. It might be dumb to adhere to the rules set by myself regardless of the circumstances. The rule was that once chosen avatar is the one forever. However, I change...and so is my forum skin

astra · 12-14-2011, 05:31 PM

My my.
I don't recognise myself. It will take time

I showed her two candidates and she said that both are very much A. Only the other one was too cute. I like to think that I am bit more manly than that

Anyway, the last cuppa for today. Keemun. Off to bed to read

CRussel · 12-14-2011, 05:35 PM

I admit, I hardly recognize you either! Will take some getting used to. But a bit of change is good.

Local, organic apple juice.

I like the book hound, but I suspect there are a few people banging their heads against their keyboards in confusion.

Major Dickasons in the cup, mixed nuts in the snack bowl.

The other one was different, but always gave me a headache watching that person bang their head all the time.

Last of my morning coffee and thinking about getting ready to work. Maybe, I'll have a chocolate biscotti while I think about it some more.

Nice new Avatar Astra, I'm thinking of changing mine too.

Earl Grey in my cup.

I humbly offer these Terminator models as possible upgrades:

CRussel · 12-14-2011, 08:06 PM

No, no. A picture of the Stig instead...

Meanwhile, rain and 1 degree. Definitely time for Lapsang Souchong.

Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a rollercoaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey

Everyday it's a-gettin' faster
Everyone said, "Go ahead and ask her"
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey

Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may
Do you ever long for true love from me

( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SmIv5BBDys )

Good morning, everyone! Love is in the air!

Big mug of Twining's 'Prince of Wales' tea in my cup, fresh French bread and a thick slab of cheese, a few slices of dry salami, and some olives for breakfast, and a great beginning of a new day!

More than just a 'storage area,' there were humans out in the runs playing with the dogs. These places also did overnight boarding as well, and compared with Japan, were really cheap. If we want to leave Feliciy overnight here, it costs almost $100 a night. In Vermont it was about $20 a night! Day care was just $10. I thought this was a really nice idea for dogs! And for couches and slippers too...

There can be no life without change. The stages of life are; birth, growth (change,) stagnation (no change,) death. Note what follows the 'no change' part... As a Taoist, we say 'you can not step into the same river twice.' The river flows and changes. All life is change. If we stop changing, we stagnate.

I like the new avatar. And Dreams... I like your new avatar too! very Zen! But what will Terminator choose?

I was thinking about Terminator. And Kindle Kitten... Specifically about Vancouver Island... it's 'name' and the images that evokes to those who don't really know... Before I began expanding my boundaries, there were two places that excited my imagination. Saginaw, Michigan and Vancouver Island.

In my mind, both were fur trading posts complete with walls of sharpened logs, Indians camped outside the walls, and buck-skinned trappers with fur-ladened mules entering the fort... Canoes pulled up on the banks of Vancouver Island... That's what I saw in the old movies, and I had no reason to change those impressions... until I began riding motorcycles around the country. Bummer... Saginaw is a factory town, with smokestacks belching out smog blotting out the sun for miles around, and Vancouver Island is BIG! I mean really really BIG! With modern cities and sky scrappers, buses and pizza places. I didn't see a singer fur trapper or his mule! Reality is a bitch.

I'm gonna have another mug of tea and hit the road!
