My eyes are now officially peeled.

Looking on Amazon, they only have the US Region 1 version, or the complete set of 4 (also Region 1, I've just noticed). What are the others in the series like?

Rooibos, Rooibos, Rooibos.

Only 'Billy Jack' is worth watching. All were made by Tom Laughlin and his wife, but the only one to really make any impact was this one. And as I said, you don't watch it for the acting or the dialog. You watch it for the spirit of the story. 'Strange loner, hero Vietnam Vet studying to become a Native American Medicine Man, aids a group of dysfunctional students at a boarding school, fighting off racism, stereotyping, mob behavior, and the law...' What could be bad?

Just about time for a glass of rum and a good movie...

I haven't watched Billy Jack as an adult, now that I recognize how bad the acting is.

However, I was quite obsessed with it as a teenager when I was in my feathers and beads stage.

(And we played that song endlessly. I recognized it from the first line when you posted the lyrics the other day.)

Coffee : No milk ....

OJ and Skim Milk at breakfast. Pot one of Rooibos Capetown.

I am still annoyed that they won't let me into the three month long weight challenge at work. Winner takes home around $250. Something about being pregnant and unfairly losing a massive amount of weight in a few months.

CRussel · 05-07-2012, 12:47 PM

Morning fresh squeezed OJ is gone, and Peet's Major Dickason's is brewing.

Had a couple of cups of the Puttabong Estate first flush Darjeeling yesterday. It reminds me how very, very different a first flush Darjeeling is from what we usually think of as Darjeeling. This is a light, clean, very refreshing, nominally black tea with a large "nose". It has much of the crispness and clean mouth feel of a good green tea, but none of the grassiness. If you think you don't like Darjeeling, or India Blacks in general, I strongly urge you to give a try to an estate grown first flush. Perfect for relaxing and reading a book with.

Some Ti Kwan Yin before lunch, but now Lion Mountain Keemun.

ProfCrash · 05-07-2012, 05:03 PM

High English Breakfast tea.

Stitchawl · 05-07-2012, 09:02 PM

I was dancin' with my darlin'
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Good morning, all! It's a waltzing sort of morning... 3/4 time... Patti Page seems to fit just right! East India Company's "Assam" tea, scrambled eggs and home-made sausage... (Jimmy Dean, watch out!) then it's off downtown to look for some English language guide books to Japan's north island of Hokkaido.

Hokkaido is Japan's "Last Frontier" and I'm planning on a two-week motorcycle ride around and through it next month. Overall, it's the size of New England + New York, and has more national parks, the highest mountains, and the best seafood in all of Japan. Cold water shellfish and sea urchins right out of the Sea of Okhotsk! Most of Hokkaido is north of Vladivostok, and I'll actually be able to see Russia from several different points!

There is also a good import food shop in the same area as the bookstore, so I'll replenish some of my teas. They sell Ahmad's 'English Breakfast' tea, a very good Ceylon Uva and Ceylon Dimbula, and if I'm lucky, they will have some Fortunum & Mason blends this time. They've been promising for months!

But first... another mug of Assam!

Sounds like a great trip!

Nothing to drink with my ice cream.

Stitchawl · 05-08-2012, 02:46 AM

A Goldmine!!! The import shop had Ahmad 'English Breakfast' tea on sale today... 200g for under $7 USD! It's usually about $18! I bought 600g.

Great find!

Rooibos Jungle Fire in my cup.
