News












To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit it and read it are old women over their tea. - Henry David Thoreau

    Nice.

    That was always my excuse to gossip in highschool, "We're not gossiping, we're discussing the facts!"

    Or old women, for that matter.

    Speaking of tea, I've been drinking Kukicha in recent days. It is also known as "twig tea." It is a roasted green tea with some twiggy things in it. Quite tasty. I need to make it a bit stronger, though, for my taste - I prefer a tea with bite.

    Bite? I thought you were supposed to enjoy your tea, not let it attack you. I'm down for herbal and black teas on the lighter side.
