Things That You Find In Cities, Part II
Cities rule the universe!
Today I wandered into M- Central, and found myself gravitating towards a brightly lit shop with colourful items. Were they beads? Gummy bears? Candy underpants?
Turns out it was tea.
Packets and packets of tea, black tea, green tea, red tea, white tea. Little tea potpourri in saucers on a rotating table. Teapots, teacups, infusers, warmers, everything tea-related that a tea aficionado could long for.
For some reason it reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. Really, though, isn't it sad how anything out of the narrow, monotonous norm can--as it inevitably is, usually by some pretentious prick (we're not talking about me, of course we're not, haha) wearing hemp-framed glasses--somehow be connected to Alice? Holiday parades, Gwen Stefani videos, your roommate's bizarre collection of coffee mugs.
I didn't buy any tea, by the way. I was broke, which is a good state to be in if you have a tendency to attach yourself to random items placed at your eye level, regardless of whether they fit, are necessary, or cost so much that you'll have to subsist on ramen for the next six weeks.
Whatever. Lipton teabags rule the universe. Along with cities. And muffins.
