Tea and Afflatus

gosh, it's hard to find time to blog when you're spending most of your time out and about! I've been painting the town red lately, with trips to the International Museum of Surgical Science (nothing says 'first date' quite like a display case full of historical speculums) and for tea at the Drake and other crazy chicago entertainments.

I tried to take pictures, but these were the only two that turned out: the tea service, and the kinky mirrored ceiling: <and since then, a server issue deleted the mirrored ceiling>

I also ordered a bunch of saris from india, which came in the mail yesterday morning looking all exotic in their linen wrapping - the packet was laced with packets of matching bindis and bracelets and necklaces and was a treat to open. All clothing emporiums should ship with extra special treats - I'd order online more often!

word of the day: afflatus: A term which, amont the ancients, denoted the supposed inspiration of particular persons such as poets...In a figurative sense, inspiration, enthusiasm.

in case you were wondering, afflatus *is* my middle name.
