Why the radio?

Hubby's feeling a bit better today and my guest left this morning, so I am "relaxing" and having a Manhattan (with a dash of cherry bitters) while reading my grad student's PhD thesis.

How do you like the Miller's Al? I would still like to try it. I have been really busy (with work and playing nurse) so haven't been doing much drinking or mixing. I decided to pour a light drink, Aperol and sparkling water. After having poured the Aperol I realized I was out of sparkling water so I used 7-up instead, it is aweful, don't try it.

Mike: You mean they won't let you wear those in the office? We are not even required to wear shoes. Dinny: Awesome! I am loving the Tristar.

Happy (very belated) birthday!

Another pair? Cool.

It is not that I didn't like the XDA-1, it just made it even more difficult for my husband to watch the tv upstairs. I don't listen to music all that often upstairs (especially in summer) and never do any critical listening (usually I am just working with music in the background) so I thought I might try out the Touch.

Heard that is supposed to be decent, worth trying?

Yes, itunes + apple lossless.

Sent back the Emotiva DAC and got a Squeezbox Touch and Squeezepad! Totally awesome is the phrase I would use to describe it. It is much more responsive than the Airport Express. I planned to use the built in DAC with the Audioengine A5 speakers since I heard it was decent. I haven't tried that out yet though. Now I just need to get two more, one for my main rig and one for the tv setup.

Greg, I like Hop Stoopid but you won't like it.... as you might imagine from the name, it is stupid hoppy.

It is always useful to have a few silver daggers around the house.

Water. I am too tired to make myself a drink... in fact, I am too tired to even type this.

Awesome! I spent 2.5 hours with the hubby today at the eye doctor (we were lucky to get an appointment at all before the weekend) and the eye doctor is pretty sure he has shingles and not just a normal viral infection... so I guess I don't have to invest in any silver daggers. It is good to have a little closure. Hopefully starting on the anti-viral meds will keep him from having any permanent damage to the eye (the shingles seemed to have not affected the actual eye yet, just the area around it). Phew.

I have a lot of garlic and bad music.

What is April 18th?

Happy Birthday Doug!

Raw meat and midtnight cravings are fine but if he wants to move out to the forest... no way, forget it!

Had to take the hubby to see the doctor. He had chills last night and a fever of 103 this morning (along with redness in the eye and some red marks on his face that appeared on Monday). The fever scared me because it seemed kind of high (at least for an adult). His fever has broken and he seems to be doing better now. The doctor just said it is probably due to a virus and he should rest and drink fluids and take fever reducing medicine ... of course.

Hehe I tired of working, time for a little break... Marc's pictures are making me thirsty.

It is like drinking water compared to Smith and Cross.

Dos Maderas 5+3 rum and Coke with a bit of lime juice. Ok but the Dos Maderas 5+3 just doesn't have enough bite. I bought it to replace the bottle of Vizcaya VXOP rum bottle I just killed but the Vizcaya is much better.

My eyes must be failing me, I think Jacob said he was drinking Coors!

Green with envy, I am.
