Earl Grey Masquerading as Mango

So, we have this nifty coffee maker at work that makes one cup at a time....which is fun only because we have about 12 different choices when it comes to coffee and tea. I chose a nice mango tea, but I think its mislabled because it tastes a hell of a lot like earl grey. I like earl grey....just was expecting mango.

On a more exciting front (really, isn't anything more exciting than my tea choice), I bought a new digital camera. Courtesy of the reward points on my corporate credit card, I was able to purchase the camera, a memory card and a case for a little less than $100. I'm looking forward to experimenting with it in Chicago this weekend. Since it has a touchscreen menu, I need to get one of those screen protector thingys. I wish they had suggested that when I bought it.

I'm still in New Orleans....I think the President was either at my hotel (which I doubt), or at the hotel next to mine last night....lots of police climbing on roof tops and blocking off streets (I'm at the W, next to Harrahs...you couldn't walk down the street in between the two last night). There is supposed to be a jazz funeral procession from the convention center to the superdome this afternoon. Since I'm working in the building across the street from the dome, I'm going to try and sneak down with my camera when they get close to the dome. I'll see if I can post pictures later.
