So apparently, not having my tea awakened has managed to cause my caffeine sensitivity aggravated.

Yuck. I can be pretty sensitive to caffeine as well, especially when my anxiety disorder plays havoc. Is this a problem at the tea shop? Can you awaken it after it's been brewed, or is it too late? sad

(however, the use of ancient greek, a fairly good modern ritual to the gods makes me a little happier.)

I've been seeing these books around and they didn't really pique my interest - but this? Now I'm interested.  

[maenad nuri]

They aren't bad books. They can teach mythology fairly well, and I like that the gods aren't needfully flattering depictions, but also painted pretty complex...in short, good kidlit.

I have the first three. The other two will be devoured soon. Amazon had a box set for $12, and husband requested them. I picked up a copy of The God Who Comes as well.

Awakening is done at the time it is brewed. I should note I am addressing the Asian style in regards to proper tea brewing, and not an animistic engagement.

They pamper me so much, I would hate to put them out anymore.

Ah. >.< Well... I guess you could offer to show them how to do it and see if they like the method? Would hate to cut down on tea. xp

Mm...tea sounds really good right about now...I'm just too lazy to get up and fix some.

Apparently I come off as an atheist to my dad because sometimes I really don't want to go to the Hindu temple. However, I gave him a lesson on the phone on Thursday. xD

Dad: You shouldn't care about other people that much. Care about your family and God and that's it.
Me: That's not what the shaktis say. You don't even extend past the first level!
Dad: What?
Me: Oh that's right. When you go to temple, you volunteer and hardly listen to what Pundit S is saying. I do. In fact, I remember most of what he says. You probably can't even lecture me at this point about our religion because I listen more with my monthly visits than you visiting weekly! xD

Note:
The Five Levels of Shakti are:
1. Love for family
2. Love for extended family and neighbours
3. Love for friends
4. Love for the world's peoples (AKA no racism, sexism, homophobia, etc) at large
5. Love for God(s)

And you to have the previous ones to acheive the last one. xD

There's a hippocrite (sp?) in every faith I suppose. No offense to your dad.

I'll figure something out.

I have spent the day with food. Sushi leftovers for lunch, reorganized my pantry, watched Good Eats on youtube and I have soft pretzels baking in the oven.

It is a good day.

That DOES sound like a good day to me. We had (American) Chinese leftovers because my dad's car broke down on the way to take me out for Dim Sum. Then we had a prosciutto/mozzarella/puff pastry roll left over from a party, and are making popcorn now biggrin
