I've never been to a Teavana store because my sister is pretty high up in their marketing team, and she just keeps giving me tea and tea accouterments I rarely use. Which is why I have three different kinds of infuser and two giant canisters of (admittedly delicious) tea blends I always forget to drink. Now that I'm…

I remember my sister telling me that everyone at Starbucks was totally thrown by the Oprah Chai thing, that it didn't really make business sense for either party but she and Howard Schultz got all riled up talking about tea at George Lucas's second wedding.

How dare you?! Gus Gus is a delight! Honestly, I think of him every time a try to carry a too-tall stack of anything.

But he reeeally would be perfect for this one! Take a few for the team!

I think white washing isn't quite correct, but I can see being frustrated by yet another movie with a majority Asian cast "needing" a white American star to be able to be bankable. Then again, it seems there's a difference between this film, which is much more of a Chinese/American co-production, and say, The Last…

Have you seen the movie? I haven't seen or read it, just wondering if you thought it held up. The premise sounds amazing.

So much for not spending any money, I just got Alan Cumming's memoir Not My Father's Son for later.

I probably shouldn't purchase any other books until I finish the immense Crytonomicon, which was $1.99 on a previous deal. But it looks like Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is currently $1.99, so that's a great deal on a similarly massive (and excellent!) book that would otherwise be hell to carry around.

Were those my birds? I need those.

Woof.

What's the other talking pig movie?

I like their music a lot. I will say that this album has a few songs I love (I Won't Let You Down, The Writing's on the Wall, and Obsession), a couple other fine ones, and the rest never grabbed me. This song in particular bugs me because it sounds like it was written by a computer programmed to make songs to play…

Nope, Bambi's dad is technically "The Great Prince of the Forest" and Bambi succeeds him after his death. I couldn't remember this cause I don't give a shit about anything from Bambi except Flower the skunk, but I did just Google "is bambis dad king of the forest," which will be a fun addition to my search history.

Yeah, 101 Dalmatians is actually my favorite Disney film visually. This is a really good read on the visual development of the movie: http://colorfulanimationexp…

My best friend is straight up in love with him. I sent her the link before I even read the article.

I'm rereading this New Yorker article about how Megan Phelps-Roper eventually left the Westboro Baptist Church after forming a friendship with a Jewish man on twitter. I'm trying to embrace this mindset but its hard when I'm so angry. http://www.newyorker.com/ma…

I got the CW TV app on my Xbox 360, but my roommate tried on his PS4 and it seems they don't offer it.

Thanks for the tip!

I had a lovely time reading this in Shore Leave's voice. Thank you, Mr and/or Ms Cocksucker.
