Giving my fellow gamers a heads-up:
Steam has a sale going on right now. Some of the sale prices are rather lame, but then there's Bioshock for $5 and World of Goo for $15. They still don't carry every game ever, but they've got a decent selection. It's for a week so... think about it.

In other news, I've been drinking tea all day because I received a rather mysterious cast iron teapot in the mail. A christmas present... but from whom? Not my brother - he sent me a glass tea pot. Hmm... well, I'm not dead yet, so if it's laced with something, it's not fast-acting.

In other, other news, my local tea shop has closed and I am left with nowhere to find tea. Well, good loose tea. Avast! What shall I do? And why did I go and have to become a tea drinker after moving to the coffee consumption capital of the US?

Heh! Actually, the teapot the Bro' sent me is from adiago. Some tea came with it, too. Very... fruity.
Oh yeah! Dan'o sent a giftcard to Whole Foods... I need to somehow thank her. >> What's her box number?

Your nearest Asian grocery store should have a wide selection of loose teas. Persimmon tea is especially nice.

Oh true. And there's actually one within walking distance that I haven't visited yet.

www.stashtea.com has some wonderful tea, loose and otherwise.

BTW you can also find tea at etsy.com. I think Stash might be located in your fair city, if I'm not mistaken.

I think Stash is actually in Oregon, but I have seen their stuff in the store. Not loose tea, though - I imagine that might just be online. I'll have to look into their online store. And now I have another reason to visit Portland... >>

I know here (GA) I've bought Stash tea that was loose locally. Love their tea no matter if it is loose or not. So delicious. So fresh. Mmm. Must go have a cup of tea.
