Is it bad that while watching Coffee Prince, I keep stopping it to identify the tea tins in the background? Not only the brand, but also the flavour. *hides*

This is why I love you.

Well, this, and your awesome job. :)

(You do know that the next time I'm in Halifax, you have to have tea with me, right?)

(Are you in Halifax often? Cuz that would be awesome! We could talk about Ginlandia!)

Yep. I have a very dear friend who keeps making puppy eyes at me and whining until I find myself in possession of a plane ticket and sadly abused credit card. The current plan is to be there around Labour Day. (Which will be on the way home from Paris. Paris!)

Oh, Paris is nothing. Pfftt. <-- Note how I am hiding my jealousy by being dismissive.

Sincerely, Paris is lovely, especially at that time of year. I think of it fondly. (We went there for my 29th Birthday.)

My first trip there was at that time, too. It's been 7 years since I last went. Much too long. Yes. (Even though Paris is nothing. ^_~ )

The correct answer is that she is not in Halifax enough. This does in fact lead to puppy eyes on occasion, but I challenge the "whining" point. I believe Miss Ginny meant to say "pouting endearingly".

But, see, Halifax has weather patterns like "light freezing drizzle"! It is very strange. I'm not sure I could be brought out here from the wonders of Ginlandia without endearing pouting, myself.

In its defense, it also has fog, which Toronto generally lacks. And an ocean. But yes, the weather is a little...quirky. (Are you from here originally?)

As I am in possession of a Princessipality in Ginlandia (which would be why my Ginny calls me spoilt, I daresay), I'm not about to argue its wonders. ^_-

No, I just moved here late last month - 26th, I think? That date sounds right.

I almost got killed by a sidewalk on Wednesday! It was awful! It slopes straight down!

Ah, well--if it's any consolation, you arrived at pretty much our worst time of year, weather-wise, so things should improve. (Straight down? O_o Whereabouts?)

I sit corrected. Of course that's exactly what I meant to say. (It's been far too long since I've had reason to use this icon. *hangs head*)

Well. That's all right, then. *snuggles*

File it under "charming quirk"...?

I'm getting quite the collection of those. I feel greedy (but won't let that stop me). ^_^

Hey, if they can have manga about Go, tennis, golf, baseball, hockey, judo, being a salaryman at a multinational electronics manufacturer, taxicab vendors, emergency-room physicians, police officers, firefighters, search-and-rescue technicians, brewers, bakers, cooks, photographers, tappanyaki restaurant owners and magic using 10-year-old middle-school teachers from Wales...

(big inhale)

Why NOT coffee shop owners?

Oh, yes, they did that. Catseye, for one

Don't forget Antique Bakery.

I think the weirdest topic for a manga is the one Oyceter found that was about people who ride trains to get the special train bento (ekiben?).

(In the spirit of precision, Coffee Prince is a Korean drama based on novel[s]. But yeah, the thing that brings all the characters together is the coffee shop [with tea from Fauchon and Taylor's of Harrogate ^_^].)

I need a tea icon. SO. BAD.

There is no such thing as being too interested in tea. [I am overjoyed that my girl's LJ handle is [livejournal.com profile] baroquetea]

It's funny because very often when I'm thinking about tea geekery I think of you :3

Everyone needs a tea icon! ^_^

Well that's just fine by me. ^_~
