Anyone that was at the party on NYE know what happened to the Glenlivet 18 that Senor Yusef brought? It was unopened at party start - and whereas I did see some people drinking it - it seems kind of unlikely that the whole bottle got nuked - it was almost full when I saw it last. I got curious and glanced in the recycling bin, but no bottle. ( Read more... )

The last post was not meant to be "woe is me - I have no time" whining - more transparency into life events. I am actually really excited about grad school - it would be nice to have an official and useful education in my chosen profession rather then haphazardly stumbling across info as it comes up in my job. Also - whether or not it is actually ( Read more... )

So, I just sent out a pair of e-mails explaining the ridiculous over-stuffed schedule that I signed up for - and rather than continuing to do that one-by-one - I thought I would make a more global "I am going to socially disintegrate soon" announcement using the Interweb.

Me and the Girlie saw them open for Eddie from Ohio up in Baltimore, and I fell in love with their modern take on the blues. Their version of Louis Armstrong's "Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans" instantly puts me back in the French Quarter eating ( Read more... )

FYI - I have discovered the worst movies on earth, at least according to Rotten Tomatoes. What they are will not come as a shock, but I was a bit surprised at some of the competition they beat - notably, that they beat Battlefield Earth by 3%, and Mortal Kombat 2 by 4%, Elektra by 7%, and Catwoman by 9% - all very righteous debacles in their own ( Read more... )

Just getting around to posting about it now, but over the weekend, me and the Girlie did much museum visiting - both on Saturday and Sunday. My opinions, in brief:

The Girlie's Meme result was pretty silly - but I think I will go ahead and keep mine:

Really good - I laughed, I cried, I kissed $11 goodbye (all literally - thanks, Cinema De Luxe - or actually, since was my lady's treat - thanks Girlie). Was good - kind of a cross between a Wes Anderson flick (Life Aquatic, Rushmore, Royal Tannenbaums) and that Blind Melon video with the little Bumble-bee chick. No - I am not kidding. BTW - ( Read more... )
