Because she's fucking gorgeous, that's why.

This is who I'm basing the lead character of my Camp Nano story on:



Which some of you who are Project Runway fans may recognize as Nazri from season three.

And yes, my MC has the afro, because the afro is fucking AMAZING.

And a July 4th present for you guys ...

Here, I'm sending out $5 gift certificates for Adagio to Facebook and Twitter. :)

Yummy treat! Here is a $5 gift certificate to Adagio Teas: 4246167486. Expires in 24 hours.

EDIT: Oh, my God, somebody on Adagio is making My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic blends. :D

So how about an Adagio review?

The last time I ordered more strawberry tea, I ordered the pumpkin parfait blend I threw together a while ago but never ordered to try.

Mmmmmm. SO good.

It's part rooibos vanilla chai, part pumpkin spice, and part ginger. I was worried about the ginger, because I know how strong Adagio's ginger can be in a blend if you don't watch it. And the thing is, it's notably strong in the bag. I only made it 20% of the blend and it still sorta smacks you in the face when you open it. That said, once you measure it into a tea bag and and let it steep a little bit, it's actually very nice. The ginger gives it a nice kick, but the pumpkin spice and vanilla chai rein it in a bit once it's in the cup.

A quick rec

If you've never checked out Stereomood, give it a go. You pick a tag to fit your mood and the website gives you a great set of music to go along with it. It's fantastic as a writing soundtrack and my favorite part is that it's not a ton of Top 40 music you've heard before.

Goofy cat.

Otis has spent the past twenty minutes sitting next to me on the futon and looking out the window at the fireworks on the top of the hill (which I don't care enough myself to watch).

One of these days, I really should tell him that normal cats are afraid of fireworks, not fascinated by them.

I really am not a fan of the title. I've got to come up with something else. I'm kinda tempted to just call it "Untitled" and just work it into the story. The weird thing is that I totally think "Untitled" could work if I did it right.

That said, I still haven't planned crap. I should probably get on that.
