Martini (5:1 ratio of Citadelle Reserve gin to Dolin Dry vermouth) - the Citadelle Reserve makes a really nice martini

I tried that when Marc was in Houston a few days ago. It was pretty nice.

Made an appointment to get a deep tissue massage tomorrow morning. I haven't had one for 10 years and I am about 10 years overdue.

Nice shipment Mikey! Mike: Love the shoes. They remind me of the NB WT100 that I love but moar better. I am going to order a pair today.

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Fringe pilot (yes, I am a little behind). I am hoping it is better than Lost.

Hehe

eeep beep crkcrkackle (that is the sound of the fax sending)

Margarita This may be the best margarita I have ever had. Fucking delicious and so smooth. 2 oz Don Julio Anejo 3/4 oz Clement Creole Shrubb 1/4 oz Simple Syrup 1/2 oz lime juice Next time I will try it without the extra simple syrup.

^Good stuff Mikey.

I thought they stopped making the 15 and replaced it with the 18? I suppose you can still like it better though. Drinking lots of water after my second trip to the gym this week (I think it is sadly my record for this summer).

Nice!

So who is going to march down to the Apple store and try it out?

Really? Cool. Now I just need a few thousand dollars and a bigger desk. Seriously though, wouldn't there be a limit based on your video card?

Can I daisy chain three 27" Apple cinema displays together?

Dinny: I am not saying you should get an Apple cinema display but... I always thought that the Dell Ultrasharp displays were as good as the Apple Cinema displays. (My husband has a recent 23" or 24" Dell ultrasharp at home and I have an older 20" Apple Cinema display.) However, the other day I was looking at some pictures of our trip on his monitor and they just didn't look as nice as they did on mine. I didn't really pay attention to why this was. Maybe his wasn't calibrated correctly, maybe it was the difference in size? Just sayin' that there could be a real difference. You should go look at a monitor in person (maybe hook it up to your laptop) before buying it. That said, the 27" Apple displays are pretty pricey. I wish I had one.

That is very organized!

Should have clicked on express delivery when I ordered my MBA on Friday (I only had an option of next day shipping or free shipping when I checked out though). My MBA hasn't even shipped. Estimated delivery is Aug 2-4. I guess things could be worse.

^That sucks.

I think this is the discussion you were referring to. and some of the replies: Updating my post: 1. Gin: I really like Bluecoat or Plymouth - I believe you have tried the Bluecoat. 2. Vermouth: Dolin Dry or Blanc for "dry" and Carpano Antica for sweet vermouth. CA is not cheap but is a liter and you could skimp by only using about 3/4 of what a drink calls for (and depending on the drink, you may prefer this). 3. Rye: Wild Turkey Rye 101 is my go to rye for "cheap." It is awesome! .... 8. Some good rum. Smith and Cross is awesome. There are lots of good rums out there. I also like Vizcaya, Ron Zacapa, Clement Rhum Agricole... 9. Tequila: I haven't tried many but El Tesoro, Casa Noble, and Don Julio are all great. There is a budget tequila thread

With dinner: 2009 Lamadrid Malbec - pretty good but not great. Now: Laphroaig 18 - great

Hilarious, Wayne! You may want to look into a wash and fold service for the future - often the prices can be quite reasonable.

Nice Al!
