Today was a bad day for Earl Grey tea.
Having run out of aforementioned tea at home, I stumbled into Ike’s Cafe in Irving before my Arts One seminar in search for tea. It’s hard to describe how disappointed I was. The tea was digustingly weak, with the consistency, and quite possibly, the taste of (as they say in GB) gnat’s piss; adding sugar and milk merely turned it into a watered-down mess of vaguely milky-flavoured sugar water. Not pleasant in the least.
Event two for Earl Grey epic failure happened at work. Since I do not consider the product of Disappointment Numero Uno a proper cup of tea, I decided to get some at Starbucks during work. It’s always been quite satisfactory, and you know, a relatively good cup of tea (all things considered). Today, it was sorely lacking- repeat above, except with added vanilla powder. I still don’t know where it all went wrong.
I really must get to the Superstore tomorrow and stock up on some delightful Tetley tea.

In other completely unrelated news, a friend from Regina is coming to visit this weekend, and I am so terrifically excited!
Also, I’ve just found a song called “Je Reste Ghetto”, so I’ll be off to check that out.

Ike’s is pretty disappointing in general… they always run out of things or things turn stale. Not good when we need to cram in Irving.
I haven’t seen where Ike is to be honest even though i’m almost always in Irving. And it’s weird to hear that Starbucks was disappointing for you; it generally does wonders for me.
I hope the whole tea situation turns around for you :)
