will the good mail days ever cease?

I thought I could manage to step away from Blogger for the weekend. Nope.

I was seated on the couch (drooling over new flickr favorites), admiring light rain drizzling outside, and yes, even our dirty window screens. Earlier this week I placed a pine cone on an outdoor windowsill and today, it cheered me to see it from the inside. I listened to The Writer's Almanac. I loved the poem "Toast" by Susan Deborah King, and today is Martin Luther's birthday. I listened to an interview with Jason Schwartzman on the Paste Culture Club. I love that guy. Did you know he's in a band? His CD sounds fun; he said if you order from Young Baby Records, you receive a free Polaroid. I might have to order! Have I made it clear how much I loved The Darjeeling Limited??

The doorbell rang and there was a box from Adagio Teas. Man, they ship fast! I wish you could smell the gingerbread and rooibos caramel teas. For a girl who cannot partake of real gingerbread, dear God, that'll do. An Adagio employee suggested I mix together the rooibos caramel & rooibos almond - my nightcap during Stranger Than Fiction tonight. We said goodbye to Blockbuster and hello to Netflix. Johnny filled up our queue with multiple TV series. I added My So-Called Life discs, and documentaries & movies on my to-rent list. I'm taking suggestions.







The tea was delivered via FedEx. Who knows what's in the mailbox... I hope simply photo.

Hi, Shauna! It is good to "meet" you. I love Yogi teas - my favorite is Bedtime. It's yummy, too.

i watched "My So-Called Life" when it first aired on network TV. i felt this connection with Claire Danes' character, because we were the same age. except my high-school boyfriend was nowhere NEAR as hot as Jordan Catalano.

ALSO - if you haven't seen the TV show "Freaks and Geeks" (just one season) it's amazing. We borrowed a friend's copy, watched it, and immediately went and bought it.

I'll be back with some documentary recommendations :)

Good morning Jenni!
I'm just Jen - no cool blog - found you thru the comments at Glass Doorknob and have really been enjoying your site. Thanks for bringing so much good information and a little sunshine my way up here in South Dakota!
Have a wonderful week!

Hey there, Ali O. I LOVED My So-Called Life, too - I can't wait 'til it arrives in our mailbox. We haven't seen Freaks and Geeks - I'll add it to our queue as well. Please do share your other recommendations - I love a good documentary.

Jen - nice to meet you, too! I love the glass doorknob - it's one of my favorite blogs. I'm so glad you visited here. :)
