does rooibos tea have something in it that causes slight euphoria? i feel wicked laid back and awesome right now after two mugs of it.

i had a really bad couple of days at work and just couldn't be fucked even looking at the internet long enough to post about what i ate, even if i had been paying attention. sorry, PEYEIYBM. i guess i'll stop calculating the cost of things, since it's a failed experiment by virtue of my lack of energy. i really do want to do PEYEIYBM, though. i will do better.

today's food eet:

11.5am: Brezel's Bakery just reopened after over a month of holiday closure, and in honour of this glorious occasion i bought one of their baguettes, which rivals any i've had in france or anywhere else. so: half a baguette with 1/4 small wheel tasmanian double brie, light spreading of margarine, and a big old blob of raspberry jam. if you, like me, are me, this is one of the best things to eat in the whole world. there are two things you should know about this video. the first is that i'm sick, puffy, and a mess. the second is that at 0:06, adrian farts from all the way across the room and is still able to be heard quite clearly. he's a legend.


also consumed in that sitting, one mug of drip coffee with milk and sugar, and two glasses of apple strawberry juice.


6pm:
regular size takeaway penne with chicken and spinach in a tomato-with-splash-of-cream sauce from Pasta Go-Go, which sounds (and looks) like a chain but is actually an italian-immigrant-family owned and operated hole in the wall which only does take-away pastas, that's their only fare. it comes in chinese-takeout-style containers and is fucking delicious.
3/4 of a can of coca cola.

8pm:
four tootsie rolls.
two mugs of rooibos tea with milk and honey.

11pm:
shared a "margarita" (in fact just a glass of tequila cut with a modest amount of the sickly cuervo mix) with adrian to help me get sleepy

rooibos is a diuretic... it also tastes delicious with vanilla. that is all I know.

good sleuthing, mortsworth. is our tea confirmed to have this sceletium stuff in it? and if so, in large enough quantities to have any effect besides a placebo? i definitely don't think i'm imagining the slight mood elevation.
