msfledermausNow most people who know me know I like tea. I'll happily drink coffee, but what I drink in the morning is some kind of nice black tea, and in the afternoon a little more of it. Herbal tea is welcome in my kitchen. I blend some of my own, even...
I also have a problem: I keep running into Twilight merchandise. Everywhere. Movies, Body lotions, perfumes, books, dolls, t-shirts. Etsy is particularly pernicious--lockets, bracelets, yarn and roving. Do you know how deep you have to go as a phenomenon to start trickling into the realm of spinning supplies? Pretty damn deep, it turns out...I should be clear, I like the Twilight series as long as people like Cleolinda keep making it hysterically funny...but otherwise, it's annoying for someone who digs the dark and spooky. Vampires in khaki pants just piss me off, I tellya. It's not right...it's just not right...
I can see you scratching your head right about now and saying to yourself, "Um....okay. You like tea and have these Twilight issues. So...you've noticed that these observations aren't connected in any way whatsoever, right?"
I wish.
Twilight tea, the tea that satisfies the vampire lover in you...or is it werewolf lover? Vampire? Werewolf? Hmmmm...
