Mmmm... Tea, Yuck Entertainment

I think that everyone should read this article. I love tea; I really do. Everyone told me that it would be even easier to like tea down here in New Zealand because they're more Britishly influenced than us rebellious Americans. Well, truth be told, they are just bigger fans of hot beverages in general. As I write this, I am acutely aware that because it's about 10am here, the staff of my building is having their morning tea. This can mean they have their coffee, their tea, their fizzies (soda), and/or biscuits. They have tea at lunchtime and for afternoon tea. And everyone has a cup of tea after dinner. It's just what you do.

Well, now I can be happy that my love of tea is healthy as well! I know my dad is sitting there thinking, "Yeah, they say it's healthy this week, remember last time you came to me worried because tea supposedly breaks down your iron?" Yeah, well, this time is different because this time it's in my favor! Woohoo tea. I actually read the above article and immediately jumped out of my desk to get a cup of tea from the tea room. The article was really that convincing... or I am that easily influenced by marketing. Whichever.

Also, while I am recommending reading, can I suggest this article? Conan O'Brien is writing for Newsweek? When did this happen? Is this a regular thing or just a one time deal? To continue my mindless entertainment tangent, the New Zealand news had the Oprah footage when Tom Cruise was gushing over his new love interest, Katie Holmes. Really? Reality in television is officially sickening to me. You know what, Tom, I just don't care who you like because I don't know you, her, or your relationship. PDA is sick when it's people that don't already have disgusting amounts of attention lavished upon them. Oh entertainment industry, you disappoint me.
