rooibus

I've recently discovered this new African tea called Rooibus (don't ask me how to pronounce it) which tastes rather strange, but somewhat pleasing. A new tea for a new semester of uni. And hopefully a fresh start to trying to get my life in order. Doing the things I've put off for a long time, cleaning out the junk that is left over from my high school life (yes I too am a packrat!) and spending time with the friends that I thought might always be there but turns out probably won't (one of my closest friends is leaving for France very soon)...it seems that reality might finally be settling into my little bubble-wrapped life - not that i don't like bubble-wrap (fun to pop, funny to feel) but such protection might not always serve to make me the most effective in achieving what I want to do with myself in the short time I have here on this third planet from the sun.

I think I've overcome my TV watching habits in the past few days. It's easier when you're busy trying to fit everything in - gym, dance, study, friends, family, work, a nice hot long bath...however I am still addicted to the FOOD channel (I caution against watching it at 12 midnight like I do - causes extra kilos and more trips to the gym) and 24...but trying it cold turkey with the 24. That ticking when the show breaks for the ads really started to drive me crazy. 24-watchers will understand what I'm talking about...but no, seriously what does happen at the end of season 5???

Need a nice hot cup of tea taken in a bubble bath, jazz playing in the background, candles lit and my sore throat/cough gone...ahhhh paradise
