Okay, so this isn't a science fiction (double feature) reference to an Orwellian time that was supposed to be from 41 years ago, but I did just reference a David Bowie song.
The blog title is "1984" from the 1974 Diamond Dogs album (track 09). The "double feature" reference is crossed out because I sometimes laugh when I write out "science fiction" because I think of the opening song of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, where Patricia Quinn's lips are mouthing the words to "Science Fiction / Double Feature" as Richard O'Brien is singing the song.
The 1970s were full of crazy weirdness, man. I wonder what George Orwell would have thought if he heard his book was turned into a song.. or at the very least, some Brit wanted to turn it into a rock opera...
At any rate, I mentioned last night I would post pictures of my tea the next time I had a cup.
I do want to clarify something about the ashwagandha before proceeding: One of the reasons I'm going to limit myself with it regarding liver issues is that I'm already taking a product that contains trace amounts of the herb, so I do not want to overload my system.
The product I'm taking is something I've mentioned before - I mix Om Master Blend Mushroom Powder – Organic Mushroom Supplement with 10 Mushrooms and Ashwagandha into my morning smoothie, but I have been alternating between this powder and Sprouts version (which does not have ashwagandha). Which is again why I feel I need to be careful with what I'm doing. I'm already taking various supplements and I've done a good job in keeping the lab work within a reasonable range this year, so I don't want to mess anything up. I want to continue what I'm doing and see how it goes.
Can't blame me, right?
Anyway, the pictures came out wonky because I am using a darker mug than I should, in order to be showing off pictures (It's a Nightmare Before Christmas mug - Jack and Sally "Simply Meant To Be"). The mug is dark purple on the inside, which doesn't jive with the dark color of the tea.
Apologies in advance.
Also, the tea is hot. You'll see that in the photos - the fog on the lens.
Before creamer:
After Creamer:
The photos were taken with my iPhone 11 and edited in Photoshop (my name).
Looks like black coffee and then coffee with some sort of creamer in it, no? The milk product I used was the Planet Oat French Vanilla Oatmilk creamer, not available on Amazon (but there are other flavors of the brand).
I didn't put any extra sweetener in the liquid; drank it "as is" with the added Planet Oat as there are already 4g of sugar in it and adding all the different types of powders to my morning smoothie, I have enough things that break down into other things, there's a reason I need to be in the gym for two hours! People may think I've lost a lot of weight, but I'm still a fat kid. "Goonies never say die!" and fat kids never say no to cake. Maybe. Haha.
Speaking of saying "no", I think I should say no more to writing the update. I'm getting squirreled and I need to go work on something else.
Until there's another update or freestyle rambling, go have a drink and play in the mud or something.
Cheers;
