i really have become a tea woman in quar; i love tea, i think about tea all day long, cannot get enough of tea
i always wonder how those women who collect/are given as gifts something related to one thing are born...and now i see it; my mother-in-law gave me tea-themed notecards for xmas and i was like, this is a perfect gift for me, a woman who likes tea. and so it begins
ugh now possessed with writing a mini-series newsletter about tea called "here's the tea"...dammit why does my brain do this
do u ever just think about bette davis in this interview
also...was bette born with this voice? making up that you are from another country is bad (and should not be done!) but i wish more people decided just to have a sort of transatlantic miss piggy voice because it was what actors simply DO (pronounced like a very slow "dew")
also halfway through she gets bored and picks up her water glass and fishes out an ice cube to put more ice in her rocks glass...chaotic
lots of new #penpalooza members (I think post NYT shout out) which means lots of new questions, so here are some answers! but you can also find answers at penpalooza.com (we have a FAQ section!)
2) it is going to look like a secret santa exchange! it is not! we are just using secret santa software! this leads to some confusion, as in, when you get a match it says you have a gift to send. what that means in this case is you have a letter to send!
3) it looks like it is closed or the deadline to sign up past! this is an elfster glitch! the exchange is very much open (indefinitely at this point!).
4) you get one match in an email (check spam) within 3 days of signing up. this is the person you write to first.
it's soup season, so i am opening a thread here for you to make an argument for what you think is the best soup. please, be bold. be confident in your thinking.
ok i'll say it: cream of tomato is the best soup. i will take it ANY day over soup with chunks in it. i'm expecting to get blowback for this.
also: french onion is UP there. is it just onions? yes! but it earns its keep
Limited time #penpalooza special: if you want an additional person or two to write to, DM me your name/address today! This is if you’ve already signed up and want extra pen pals...
rowan should have been gone week one but i am going to miss his saucy waistcoast energy
i just love how he made everything phallic from his wrinkly nine inch bagels to his cocktree; rowan you cheeky minx
in case anyone cares my bet is on hermine or mark e for the finals BUT i think linda is a dark horse and will go far; they always get rid of the daffy older woman who seems like she would be so fun in the pub (LOVE U, FLO) too early but i think linda might go the distance
