Recycled plastic shopping bag, a 1.2L Tupperware-esque storage container, a gallon of milk (they neglected to ring it up, apparently) a smattering of shumai, a shot of miso, and a regrettable amount of fermented beans and snot. That was the consistency, anyhow.

Overall, a decent haul. You?

The shumai alone made it a win.

A very nice, large Tim Hortons mug, brought back as a present from Toronto by a friend. It is a pleasing size and shape, the inside is white while the outside is a lovely deep red, and I am already on the third cup of tea.

I think it will replace the Buffy mug in my affections. (The only house rule used to be "Stay Away From The Buffy Mug", but for a while I've been cheating on it with the periodic table mug.)

I need a Fun Coffee Mug. I haven't yet found anything to interest me though, as I'm quite picky about how it is. It should be big enough to hold my preferred amount, have a large, easily grabbed handle and not be oddly shaped.

I had a lovely mug from the Elvis Costello concert a few years ago. I had it less than a month before Devlin crashed it to the floor.

The only way that mug could be awesomer would be if the beverage temperature changed which pirate node was highlighted -- like, a hot cup of tea makes the whole line go blood red, and as it cools down it fades to BlackBeard.

I am at a conference for work. They had a vender room. I can't tell you how many free pens, book bags, posters, and books, I got today. Not to mention bottons, note pads, inflatable balls, chip clips, and ice scrapers. I love conferences with vender rooms. Smile
