Thanks for the tips, Miz. I'll be sure to check out those sites. You guys all have some nice tastes in tea.

I love tea. I usually drink four large mugs of it a day during work. I only drink decaf or the white teas though. Here are some of my favorite varieties that I grab at my local Coop or Whole Foods:

-Yogi Tea Simply Decaf Green Tea

-Green Rooibos by Ecocert

-Tazo Lotus Decaf Green Tea

I also picked up some Silver Needle White Tea and Earl Gray from Teavana when I came across one of their shops at the mall I was at during the holiday season. Any recommendations of online teas to order? I have a tea steeper and can brew the loose stuff at home, so that wouldn't be an issue. Nice topic. By the way, I just got a refil.

how's dogfish head?

my friends are raving about it

It's fantastic. Each and every beer they brew is really unique. They also produce a couple of rums that are really hard to come by but just as good as the beer. Check out their site: http://www.dogfish.com

I've had a chance to listen to the new album two or three times and think it's more of a return to the form of Moon and Antarctica. I didn't care for "Good News" at all and think that the new album isn't too similar to that at all. I think my favorite song on the new album so far is "Florida". My top Modest Mouse would be 1. Lonesome Crowded West 2. This is a Long Drive... 3. Moon & Antarctica. I also love The Smiths and forgot that Marr was in the mix on this album. Also of note, James Mercer of The Shins sings backing vocals on a few tracks on the new album.

I have always liked Trovota as well. All of the clothing has really nice details and I find the fits to be nice. I really like my cords and khakis of theirs. I didn't really care for some of the looks from this past winter though. Many of the prints and patterns reminded me of something from the ski hills in the Alps circa 1978.
