resolution to comment
I just installed Disqus comments on my cocktail blog, resolution to tonic, to let the power of feedback motivate me. Please comment! :) It is currently a test free-for-all on the Sazerac post.
Unfortunately, things seem to be somewhat, ahem, "discus", in that not all comments show up all the time in all browsers. Strange business, that... -

Paris, les impressions premieres
After a week in Lausanne, i took a TGV Lyria with Chris to Paris last night. My first impressions of Paris were that it's basically like New York, but older, dirtier, and more crowded. The thing is, our train came in around 5:00 on the dot to the busiest train station in the city, Gare de Lyon, and schlepping two weeks worth of luggage around on ( Read more... ) -
what the hell is a nostalgia shop?
Saturday, went to Philly to see Owl City with Kat and Gwillen. Good times! Adam Young has a pretty energetic and entertaining stage presence, despite (or perhaps because of?) his claimed shy and introverted nature. At one point, he started waxing poetic about how kind we were and how beautiful the night was, so magical and ethereal, and.. there' ( Read more... ) -

Starting the day off right
Today, i enjoyed a 2-hour breakfast ritual in which i ate buttery rice and sliced banana, drank a stimulating beverage made from the lightly oxidized leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, and meditated on the problem of building a heap in linear time. -
Masters of Mixology
Everybody seems to be making serious research blogs these days, so i decided to make a serious blog about my research into cocktail mixology. It's called Resolution to Tonic, and you can find it at http://barspoon.tumblr.com. There's not much there yet... but soon! -
On numbers and games
Three cool things of note recently:- I got to use my new title for the first time while purchasing plane tickets. I wonder if i'll get any special treatment for being a "Dr." Or if i'll be in trouble when some guy starts having a heart attack and they're like, "Is anybody here a doctor?" and the flight attendant's like, "Wait, i remember seeing ( Read more... )
