Tea Monkeys and California Sunrises

Recently, I've been getting irritated with my roommates over stupid things like cleaning, and...cleaning. The experience has made me that much more grateful that last year and up to next spring quarter, I lived with two responsible, wonderful girls with whom I have zero problems regarding cohabitation or cleanliness.

But today, Max and Juan gave me a belated birthday present, and I couldn't stay mad.
It's a tea monkey! The arms go up and hang on the edge of your cup and the monkey steeps your tea. They also gave me a big bag of mint tea, because "it's the only type we didn't think you had." It was a super sweet present because I constantly drink loose leaf tea, but without a strainer, so I would let the mass sink to the bottom and avoid it/awkwardly strain it with a spoon. Now I have a monkey to help!

A friend now studying in Madrid posted this song on Facebook, and it's way more indie than I can usually tolerate, but it is beautiful in sound and lyrics.


California sunrise, come on and wake me up.
