Earl Grey is a gateway tea. For years, I couldn't stand the taste of black tea, but I loved a cup of Earl Grey, sweet and hot with just enough milk to make it tan. After a couple of years of drinking Earl Grey, I decided to check out his wife: Lady Grey. I found this tea too sweet, but before I knew it, I was experimenting with other varieties of black tea. Now, I'll happily drink a cup of orange pekoe, a type I hitherto despised.

I didn't do well with the staying up late last night. Around midnight, I whinged, gnashed my teeth, and wound my knuckles around one another in overtired despondency. "I'm so tired, but I need to stay up late!"

"So go to bed and sleep in," said [livejournal.com profile] f00dave. "When you wake up too early, just go back to bed and stay there. You'll fall asleep again."

And I did, too. I woke up at 8:00, then at 10:00, and the last time at 11:00. My dreams were bizarre, but the details are fuzzy. I had a somewhat erotic dream about what I can best describe as two women and a television programme stored in a small plastic bag. I feel well-rested, but my head keeps gaping open in yawns. I'd better stay up late tonight. I borrowed a bunch of dreadful-looking movies from my sister. The Princess Diaries and What Women Want aren't even close to the sort of movie I like to watch, but they just might keep me awake.

And now for the links which have been growing, cancerlike, on my web browser:

Sexy Anorexic: Sentient skeletons are erotic to some. So very, very disturbing and NSFW.

Are cats for true Christians?: If you're an ex-JW, you'll find this parody of a Watchtower article hilarious! I cackled aloud.

Man peed way out of avalanche: I think there was a similar sort of rescue from certain death in the ultra-Canadian Strange Brew.

Would You Let Your Daughter Wear This Prom Dress?: "This $495 dress, on sale at a Manhattan store, is a top-selling prom look for the designer." Now that's a whorish frock!

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch: "This Welsh town actually exists and its name translates as 'The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave'."

The Ass Matrix: NSFW, but interesting analysis on various arse types. I learned I have a teardrop/ass smile (thanks [livejournal.com profile] chrysippvs).

The Terror of Tiny Town: I must see this (thanks Dmitri).

Black tea is currently my methadone since coffee makes me vomit. I'm becoming a tea person, much to my surprise.

I was surprised to become a tea person, too. I'll be more shocked if I ever grow to like coffee, though.

A discussion of the prom dress article. Some blogger went to the effort of figuring out if the dress was quite as indecent as the NY Post made it seem.

Ahh! That dress isn't nearly so bad when it's worn correctly. Thanks!

Nevertheless, the NYP photo has some horrible photoshopping there.

There's an exhibit in the local Ripley's believe it or Not! museum about Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

BTW, I don't see how that prom dress would be flattering on anyone (not even the "sexy anorexic chicks" ;)). The model wearing it looks like she has nice breasts but it does her absolutely no justice.

The dress looks much better when worn correctly. Heh...

Agreed, *lol* though I think it's one of those dresses where you have to have the perfect body (give or take half a pound).

By the way

My husband thanks you for the Assmatrix. It's his new favorite site.

Most people just call it Llan-P.G.

I'm not so sure it's a parody article, unfortunately. Check out the dude's main page (http://dbhome.dk/carlo/).
