One more Happy B Day to DTK. 
Trying to gulp down some Rooibos this afternoon. RoT bagged stuff that is actually pretty good compared to the loose Rooibos I've tried in the past. This doesn't have that cough syrup taste to it and is similar to an Orange Spice tea, with cinnamon, orange and lemon flavorings. Maybe it'll knock out this chest cold I picked up...

Most of my family and friends are coffee drinkers and do not pay much attention to it. My wife is starting to take notice as my collection is getting larger by the week.
Today started with finishing a session of '03 MengHai "BuLang Jing Pin" and then starting the afternoon with some '97 Menghai "Huang Yin".

treazure, you made me laugh. After the horrible week I've had, I needed it very badly.
Drinking the last of the Hatsumi this afternoon. It is really excellent. I've been drinking a lot of black teas lately, due to the influx of samples, and black is really not my favorite, so I've been feeling deprived. But yesterday I had some decent (not great, but decent) pu, and today the green. Maybe soon I'll start feeling normal again. *sigh*
The photo efforts are plugging right along. After the fiasco with tching this week, I questioned whether or not I wanted to keep posting my pics, especially after they went to such great lengths to make me feel like a villain for standing up for my ownership rights. But ultimately, I remembered that it's none of my friends here who were stealing from me, and I really enjoy sharing with you all, so scr*w 'em.
Today:

and yesterday (it's called "Ghostly teaparty")

Most people around my area are not tea drinkers, and so they think I'm a teasnob for buying even the smallest tea accessory, let along drink the stuff. Good times.
I'm not drinking any tea right now, but the last cup I had was some White Cucumber. Quite yummy!

I believe drinking tea makes me a better artist. But hey, I also believe I'm completely sane.
My friends and peers don't really balk so much at the prices I spend on the tea fancy, but more over the perceived value of tea. They would think nothing of spending hundreds of dollars per pound of white truffle or Kobe beef, but still think tea comes in bags or in gallon jugs. Needless to say, I catch some good natured flak for it at the office.
Today was multiple pots of Makaibari Estate SF. Another strong performer from one of my favorite estates. The profile was crisp with quite a bit of fruity overtones. I detected plum, blackberry, and the muscatel grape standard in good second flushes.
Also, in the interest of mob rules, Happy Birthday DotK!
