Weekend TeaRoom 11/6-7/10 NON tea interest?

[gargoylekitty]

Art and comics(also, possibly, history). I have thousands of comic books, mostly DC, and lots of comic book-related merchandise. Though I'm spending more on tea at the moment than comics because too many things are going on in them that are just annoying me and I don't see the point in spending money to be annoyed when instead I can buy something calming and delicious.

As for art? Definitely a more serious rival, though tea costs more and art is a longer lived love. If push came to shove, art would win. Though it'll likely not come to that and since tomorrow is my day off and I plan to do nothing but drink tea and draw all day.

Only sencha at work so far today. Thinking of some longjing next.

ETA: Oh! And I love Asian dramas, the only 'tv' I watch outside the news. But they cost me nothing, I could probably live without them, and I normally drink tea while watching them.

I have casually wondered how many TeaChatters are also UNIXen.
Debunix of course let her affilliation slip by virtue of her handle....

Not so much, actually--that was my login for a course in using the campus computer network--so some initials plus unix became a unique term that has never been taken when I'm signing up in various places. I barely can move between directories in straight unix now....

Today, just want to share how nice my Seigan blue hagi looks full of green sencha



Other interests? Lots of them, shifting from time to time. Photography and cooking are definitely interests that outweigh tea.

Other interests: Design, art, art history (could walk into Met or MoMa and never come out). Making abstract digital comps for my own pleasure.
Dream: study japanese calligraphy.

Good food: mostly Asian. I can totally live without chocolate but not without out cheese. Lately very much into grass fed cheese.

Will have Golden Curls shortly.

I make mosaics and that definitely exceeds my interest in tea - although of course I want them both in my life.

Do you have photos? I'd love to see them!

Lots of interests with not much time to pursue them, so I think that by default, since I enjoy tea every day, it would win. But I like to read, sew, take photos, do crafty stuff, cook, play video games, walk (but am having big-time heel pain right now so not doing much of that!), watch movies, and hang out with family.

Enjoyed some Black Spiral from Tao of Tea this morning. I'm not sure yet what the afternoon will bring, maybe some iced Ginger Peach.

This afternoon I am have having some 2010 Young Tree Baozhong from Tea Masters. A friend recently traveled to Japan and brought me back some sweet treats. I really love the delicious green tea caramel. Yum!

My shaving habit is probably on par with my tea habit. Got quite a few razors, hones, strops, blades, soaps, creams, aftershaves, colognes etc. I take up more bathroom shelf space than my wife and daughter put together, and I've got plenty more stuff lying around. Here's a few razors:


Some qimen today, lets hope it goes more smoothly than it went yesterday:

Thanks for coloring TD Victoria and Proinsias.

Some interests that are up there include road cycling, always dark chocolate, ethnic foods ... especially Asian, and with that cooking, knives, and perhaps my oddest interest ... megalodon teeth.

Maruyama as reported earlier followed by Kame Jirushi gyokuro served up in Zuiho Ono Hagi set.

I enjoy growing roses and will try to grow my own rose seedlings for the first time this year. Used tea leaves make a great fertilizer!. I also like knitting, and am starting to get back into it now that the weather is cooler. Right now, I think my interest in tea is strongest.

Today finishing the last of Farmer's Choice Baozhong from FLT.

.... and Japanese gardens (with a special interest in Japanese Maples thus my photo), bonsai, succulents from Africa ...

More sencha currently!

...Yeah, I have way too many interests.

Yunnan black tea all day and probably all night.

How about showing us some photos of your mosaics? I'd love to see some.

I have a number if interests that rival my interest in tea:
- Astronomy (I even have a decent telescope)
- Salsa dancing
- Reading books
- Scotch whiskies (usually in moderation )
- Cars (I just have one myself, but I've driven hundreds of different ones)
- Computer games (mainly strategy)

Having some oolong today. Oh yes.
