[links] drinks and entertainment

So far today I have drank:

+ 16 ounces of water
+ 16 ounces of mate vana and peppermint tea (hot)
+ 16 ounces of caribbean breeze tea (iced)
+ 22 ounces of plain tea (iced) (Half of a 44 ounce I'm still drinking)
+ 12 ounces of diet Dr. Pepper

It's a thirsty day. Hungry day, too, I'm absolutely starving for protein.

Speaking of tea, have all you fans heard of Teavana? Back in November, when J., A., and I went holiday shopping, we discovered one of the stores in St. Louis, and fell in love with their flavors. Then, for Christmas, the boss bought the office their huge tea set, and I've fallen even more in love. All the teas I've drank today, except for the plain tea, is Teavana, and they are all delicious. I think some of you would really, really like it.

The mate vana and peppermint mix is one of my favorites, but I'm also fond of their azteca fire, which is a little like Mexican hot chocolate.

According to [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda in this post, there is some big thing where Peter S. Beagle is not getting paid for The Last Unicorn, or something. Really, go read her post, it's full of interesting links and that information. Anyway, my point is that she linked to Conlan Press which has permission from Lionsgate to sell the 25th anniversary edition of the movie and more than half of each sale goes directly to Beagle. I find that pretty cool, and I know some of you are probably interested in the new edition, so I thought I'd link.

Plus, if you purchase the version for $24.98, you get it signed in three places, which is even more cool.

In honor of the upcoming Dresden Files and Battlestar Galactica line-up on Sunday nights, I present you with this link: [livejournal.com profile] shiggysicons has a number of Dresden Files icons available.

From [livejournal.com profile] myln, Pinup girls made of letterforms. (Not work safe.) I probably should find those as hot as I do, but pinup girls! Letterforms! Together! As one!

From [livejournal.com profile] hermionesviolin, Vampire Vineyards. I'd like to try that wine.

Edited to add: The poster which really makes me want to see 300.

My cousin-in-law bought a bottle of the Merlot for Hallowe'en. Wasn't impressed with the wine, but he gave me the empty bottle. The bottles are cool.

A bunch of people I know have tried a number of Vampire wines. I'm told it's generally unimpressive to drink, but the labels are great (especially in October).
