A Multifandom Fiction Meme
Jan. 12th, 2011 09:48 pm1: Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.
2: Visit this site for a random poem. Write down the 5th line (yes, even if it's an E.E. Cummings poem and you wind up with an apostrophe). Repeat five times and -- you guessed it -- list the lines in alphabetical order! (No cheating, mind! This is a challenge and it's always been about creativity.)
3: Write a very quick 50-word half-drabble for each fandom (try to do it all in one sitting -- make your brain explode!), using the line from the poem as a prompt. You don't have to include it in the half-drabble -- it's just inspiration.
4: Bravo! Have a cookie.
Fandoms:
Buckaroo Banzai
Eureka
Firefly
The Middleman
Real Ghostbusters
(generic warnings: implied offscreen violence, implied sex & sexual situations, all het, nothing graphic)
Lines:
( a blue dissolve. In spite of that, the farm )
( But Between me and you )
( how a diamond comes into a knot of flame )
( will ignite the passions )
( will see him up, car-radio-wise. So many, some )

OMG TEA RECS
Jan. 12th, 2011 11:11 pmLadies and gentlemen, it is bizarro cold here (for Houston, I mean; anywhere north of I-40 this would be normal, but there are reasons I don't live there and this is one of them) and I need some tea recommendations.
First, let me offer one: I picked up a canister of Cuida Té's Sueño de Sena and am enjoying the hell out of it. It's black tea with orange zest, cinnamon, vanilla bean, and almonds, and while it brews up a little weak (I'm using a heaping tea scoop and brewing for five minutes, and it's still a bit weaker than I'd like) and I'm a bit suspicious of the almonds, it's remarkably tasty. The cup in front of me has been adulterated with a wedge of Meyer lemon and a bit of turbinado sugar, and the overall experience is very, very pleasant.
I like plain black teas, especially the ones with malty or leafy notes. I'm not a huge fan of the simple greens, although I will entertain suggestions on those. I love blends of greens and fruit or berries, I generally like black tea and spice or black tea and fruit blends, and I haven't tried much oolong but I'm willing to experiment. Lapsang souchong tastes like creosote; YKINMKBYKIOK.
Hit me up, y'all.
