1. Well. I just spent $100 on tea. 
I get it at Choice Organic Teas. They offer it in 3.5 oz or 2 lb bags. If you buy the 3.5 oz packs, you only get 1 lb before spending as much as you would on a 2 lb bag. And I drink way more than a few 3.5 oz packs could sustain.
So, I get the 2 lb bags. Aside from being a metric fuckload of tea, it's also friggin' expensive. I got my Yunnan for $40 and my Darjeeling for $57. Yoiks! That's right - $20 and $28.50 a lb. Almost makes me miss coffee.
Come to think of it, I believe I may have ranted about this before. Anybody? Bueller?
2. I get gas at the same Citgo virtually every day, particularly when I'm on my bike, because it only gets about 120 miles on a tank. At least once a week, the pump rejects my credit card, so I'll have to go in and pay. The Indian dude is like "Oh, the zip code you put in [the pumps now prompt for your zip] must not have matched the zip for the card. Did you move recently?" And I'm like, "No, dude. I've been living in the same place for 7 years. And I just used this same friggin' card, with the same friggin' zip code in the same goddamned pump YESTERDAY!" Then the next day, my card will work fine again.
I think it may be a deliberate plot to drive me bat shit.
Never the less, I only buy gas at Citgo. I'm a total Chavista.
3. I'm leaving with my brother and nephew for Pittsburgh tomorrow evening. We'll be coming back sometime next weekend. My dad, who lives in the burgh, rented a cabin at a lake where we always vacationed when I was a kid. In addition to lots of fishing, we will prolly do lots of drinking. I oughta bring some cards, too. Maybe we'll even get to go to Conneaut Lake Park amusement park. Yeah, my 4th of July week is gonna fucking rock!
I'm likely not gonna be anywhere I can log in.
So, I guess you bitches won't hear from me until the 10th or so.

5. I went to Bass Pro Shops on the way home tonight. I got a new fishing rod, two reels, and a pair of sandals (left my old ones at Janes), and walked out without dropping a dime. Yes, bugger SkyMiles. I have a Bass Pro Outdoor Rewards Visa. When I went in, I had $275 in "rewards". I bought $185 worth of gear, so I still have $90 left. Since I live on this card, I generally rack up at least $10 a month in rewards. w007!
6. After leaving Bass Pro, it took me an hour to ride the 20 miles home. Actually, it took me 45 minutes to go the first 5 miles and 15 minutes to go the last 15 miles. ugh.

7. I'm just not ready for this big ol' entry to go away, so I'ma tack onto it, instead.
8. The Senate approved CAFTA. Here's one of the provisions: to placate sugar producers, White House officials agreed to limit imports for another two years by paying Central American producers not to export to the United States.
Yes, that's correct. The US government is going to pay Central American sugar producers to *not* export to the US. WTF?! This is free trade? Ooo. Let's let the markets determine prices. Except for those prices over there. And them ones there. Mr. Chairman? I'm up for re-election next year. Could we, um, exclude this one, too?
Fuck free trade. It don't fuckin' work. If for no other reason than corrupt bitches in our government wanting special favors so they can stay corrupt bitches in our government. Motherfuckers.
9. DeLay, et al are still trying to fuck around with the Constitution. Motherfucker, this ain't your fuckin' coloring book. You don't just get to write in it any friggin' thing that the courts say it currently denies you. Bunch of broke-ass sexual chocolates!

As it happens, I agree with you on the SCOTUS/O'Connor thread, but the argument is now getting heated enough that I feel like I should drop a quiet word of caution. Don't take troll bait. It's a trap! A TRAP!!!
Okay, carry on.
Atlanta's just far enough a drive to make it a hassle... plus I'm afraid of getting lost in the city and its notoriously bad traffic. If I end up moving back to this area after graduation, I might swing by. But probably not this summer.
