Been doing laundry for a while, pretty exhausting

Watching episodes of the latest season of Star Academy, the French version of American Idol. Actually, both France's and Spain's versions are similar and quite different from the UK's Pop Idol or US's American Idol. It's an Academy setting and you watch the students learn with teachers (dance, choreography, voice, diction, etc.) and progress every week, building up to their performance day. You get to know each one of the characters a lot more in depth, it's not just about the one performance every week.

I went into Duane Read to buy laundry detergent, and found they had a brand and flavor of tea I'd looking for forever. It's Lipton Orginal Green Tea with Honey. They ran out of it immediately every time they bring it in. I bought all the bottles they had on display, 13 . For some reason very few places carry it, and FreshDirect doesn't have it.
