Happy National Hot Tea Day (and Month)

Today is National Hot Tea Day which is also in the National Hot Tea Month. I'm a tea drinker, I love trying a variety of teas while also still drinking my favorites. And I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to post this video of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet) and her friend and neighbor Elizabeth Warden from Keeping Up Appearances.

Hyacinth is one of my favorite fictional tea drinkers but she's very snooty and a high society wannabe. And poor Elizabeth she's always so nervous whenever she's using one of Hyacinth's tea cups that she either ends up spilling her tea or dropping her cup. And Hyacinth finds neither outcome to be favorable.

Happy Monday, the Fourth Day of the Month! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

Happy Monday, Fourth Day of the Month (formerly known as the 4th of July)!

I'm not feeling the holiday spirit which is why I'm not celebrating Independence Day or the 4th of July. Because what is there to celebrate? It's become meaningless especially with the steady and continuous loss of our rights. That doesn't seem like something to celebrate, does it? That certainly doesn't feel like independence to me. This is a sentiment, I've seen expressed a lot online. And many are saying they are going to do some of the following instead of celebrating:

- Boycotting the holiday
- Wearing either green or black to lament the loss of our rights
- Going to protest around the country
- Going to go on a monetary strike (by not buying anything today, tomorrow and even longer)

Since I'm celebrating Monday, the Fourth Day of the Month, I created a Geeky Holiday List to celebrate. It features the fourth episode of each season of several shows. I couldn't list all the shows in Labels, so scroll through and see if it's something on here you might want to watch.
