Current Ramblings

The box of tea I bought home from England doesn't have any instructions on it like the tea I buy here. Presumably if you don't know how to make tea they send you out of the fucking country like you deserve. It's really good, just simple Sainsbury's Red Label, but I shouldn't have it too often because the caffene's bad for the ol' colitis. Not that that stopped me from saying "YES MORE PLEASE" every time someone offered me tea while I was there.
Today I got started in earnest on that pile of books I brought home and read through The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. It's narrated by a teenager with Asperger's syndrome who finds a neighbor's dog murdered while on a night-time stroll and takes it upon himself to solve the crime, managing on the way to uncover complexities in his life that he had never known were there. His autism makes for a facinating window through which to view the flaws and anguish of the adults in his life, which affect him in ways he is unable to understand. It's a fairly short book and a quick read, and definitely worth a summer's afternoon hiding in air conditioning.
Oooo, Graham's to the first Mr. Freeze episode on his Batman: TAS DVD. I loves me some Mr. Freeze.
