sigh.

on NPR today, i heard that a recent survey determined that on average, people feel depressed about 3 days out of a month.

i can't even imagine getting to that point.

tea and cats, cats and tea

i want some tea, but iceberg is stretched out along my left calf and seems disinclined to move. (it's funny... he's not a lap cat at all. he won't sit in laps. but he loves to stretch out along various parts of my legs. it's very, very cute. and pleasantly warming for us both.)

the other day, i bought some chinese honey. it came in an especially cute little jar and was cheap, so i figured i had nothing to lose. it tastes a little odd... i suppose the plants in china are somewhat different from what i'm used to. but it's excellent in jasmine tea.

ok, time to oust the cat and make tead. he'll be right back as soon as i sit down again anyway. he only likes me because i'm warm.

i still resemble that remark

crisper once said of me, "When you look in the dictionary under 'control,' there's a picture of where you were standing before you fell over."
