Last night, while watching Battlestar Galactica, Danika and I tried some of the BSG Drinks from BattlestarExtras. So, I have some info for those of you who like both BSG and alcohol.
Okay, the Lay Down You Burdens is good, but strong. Recommend adding more milk, and taking a lactose pill beforehand. Choca-booza-holics rejoice! Needless to say, the super-sweet, fatty, adult beverages gave me a bit of a tummy ache. I recommend not drinking like 3 of the LDYB.
Ionian Nebula is like drinking cherry chocolate cough syrup. I do not recommend it at all. Or maybe buying a higher priced cherry brandy, or subbing half the cherry brandy for regular brandy. Something, anything. Gag. Down the drain.
Then john rushed out to buy us some orange soda so we could try a Knuckle Dragger. Quite tasty, and a refreshingly light drink after all the creamy sweetness.
Be advised: we made all of these shaken or on the rocks, because we were far far too lazy to bust out the blender. All our opinions should be taken with a big rim o' salt.
In non-BSG drinking news: I acquired the ingredients to make a Sidecar. I'm going to try making one tonight, and hopefully it will be my new favorite drink. I'm tired of only ordering Long Islands and Amaretto or Whiskey Sours.
I also got a copy of some video and pictures from a very fun drinking night in December. I'll re-watch it sober sometime this weekend and maybe post it for you to laugh at me.
I'm still working on not double-spacing after a sentence. Its harder to change than you might think. It appears that either Facebook or Blogger goes back and fixes it for me; odd.

Bla Bla Bla....
Still no word on my final grade in Physics 2. Suck.
I had to replace my driver's side seatbelt, which was going to cost an arm and three legs. Luckily, I go to the same place all the time and they are super-nice and I saved $40 off my bill. While waiting for them to diagnose the problem on Monday, I discovered the new River Valley Coffee and Cafe downtown. I was so hungry for breakfast that I would have eaten cardboard, but luckily this was much better AND YOU MUST GO THERE AND EAT! Yesterday while waiting for them to finish my car, I stopped by D'Vine Wine for the first time. I was unaware that they made their own wine on site. I had a Wine Rita....a frickin' wine smooooothhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee.....it was very good. Then I had to walk back to the coffee shop for some lunch.
For today's activities, I started with a yard sale "organized" by the apartment management. By "organized" I mean they told us what day to do it, and maybe put up signs. Participation was low, and I didn't get out there until 9:30 so I missed some sales opportunities. I made $35, which will go to buying grass mat or bamboo window treatments for my living and dining rooms. I'm off to goodwill now, to drop off some unsold items, and then to Tuesday Morning to find those window treatments, and then to the grocery store for some sour cream for tacos. Mmmm tacos.....I'm so hungry....
***
Eh. I forgot the box of stuff for Goodwill, and there were no good window coverings at Tuesday Morning
But the tacos were totally good, and now I'm full.

It's 5 o'clock....now!
Oh. it. is. so. FINALLY. The Weekend.
This week has been stressful. It started with registration and scheduling problems, and therefore stressing over my finances. The Husband filed his taxes, and we decided to file separately because I didn't have my W-2 ready. Also, he has had some breathing problems while running, and the chest x-ray showed cause for concern. The CT scan results are pending. I spent all day yesterday studying for a physics test, but still felt lost this morning when faced with Lenz' Law.
I went to the nearby H&R Block this afternoon, where they did a great job for me. I'm getting back way more than I thought, actually ALL of what I payed in last year. Very nice. Turns out I won't have to use my considerable "skills" to put myself through college. Not this year, anyway. This also means Rigel gets a play stand, long overdue, and I get to come home for a week or two in late June (probably).
So...yeah...It's 5 o'clock right ....now. Last week I set some strawberries to soak in some lemon vodka. Today, I added the lemonade. Much of this post might not make sense. I'm okay with that.
Also, there's sake, but I want to be mostly-conscious for tonight's episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures (AMANDA YOU MUST WATCH THIS!!!!!) and Battlestar (also this, but you knew that already, (holy shit they're going to unbox the 3's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)).
Um. Yeah. Strawberry Lemon Vodka Yumminess.
WE'RE GOING THE WRONG WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I swear the director told her, "play this one like a 3 year old in a tantrum" FUN!)

Tasty Day
Someone recently described the contents of my favorite bottle as smelling like industrial cleaner. It is a very strong wine, my Port, and I love it so. Michael doesn't like the smell of any kind of wine, and Port is concentrated wine fragrance. So he hates it too. I drink it alone. So sad.
The severe thunderstorm laced with tornadoes is just West of here, travelling North, and Star Trek Tech is on TV.
Enough things are right in my world, for today.

Booze Survey
First, I have an actual question, does anyone else feel like every cell in their body is VIBRATING when they are hungover? S'weird.
1. Favorite person to drunk dial?
My Mom. She thinks its great.
2 (a). Favorite place to drink?
Home, I feel safer there.
2 (b). Most shots taken in a row (that you remember, rumors don't count)
2, but I'm open to the possiblities
3. Best drunken memory?
New Years 2005 with Michael and Amanda (and Brynn?)
4. Favorite person to drink with?
Amanda is pretty much the only person I've enjoyed drinking with
5. Liquor of choice?
Gran Marnier (sp?) Is that a liquor? I dunno but I liked it. Alot.
6. Ever gotten drunk and danced on a bar?
No...
7. Do you get hangovers? Blackout? Or a combo of the two!?
Hungover a little. More happened last Thanksgiving than I remember, but I think its because I 'fell asleep.'
8. Worst drunken injury?
My arm hurt pretty bad after punching Chris a bunch of times, all in good fun.
10. Most valuable possession lost?
My dignity (I'll third that motion)
11. Favorite 3am food run?
IHOP is the tradition so far, but I don't do that much (I'm not invited)
12. Fact or Fiction, Liquor before beer, in the clear, beer before liquor, never sicker?'
I don't tend to drink them in the same night, so I don't know.
13. Best hangover remedy?
Moving very slowly, and water.
14. Favorite mixed drink?
Long Islands are good, do you know of something I should try? Whiskey and Amaretto sours are both good too.
15. Favorite shot?
Open to the possibilities, I've never had one that was just amazing. What's this Jolly Rancher of which you speak?
16. Next time you plan on getting drunk?
Well, Sarah's 21st birthday is in May, and I'm going home sometime in May too...so whichever comes first.
17. Last time you were drunk?
My birthday last Wednesday. Ohhh SAKI!

Some Heck of a Day
My friend Sarah's kittycat Othello has been sick for awhile. Today we went to the vet to be there with him while he was put to sleep. I've never been there for anything like that. All my family's pets died when I wasn't around, most with no advance warning. It was much more unpleasant that I even thought. Everyone give Sarah big hugs, she is very sad.
In other news.
Yesterday was a pretty good birthday. If only I didn't have to sit around waiting rooms being ignored so I could outprocess. But once I got home things got better. I hung out with Sarah because Michael was waiting for my gift to be delivered, then we all went to Bonsai Garden for some pretty decent food. I had some sake and they brought out a slice of cheesecake for me. Weir got me a strange gift, an iPet. It dances to my music and purrs when you pet it. We then headed over to the bar for some drinks. Pretty good time.
This morning I had to get up early to ride with Michael, so I could pick up my car. I spent about 3 hours off and on waiting for stuff to be sorted out. I'm finally ready for tomorrow's final-out appointment. Geesh. I did get some reading done, but it turns out I've already read this book. To finish or not to finish???? Eh.
After class I ran to the grocery store and picked up lotsa good food. I just made pizzas on tomato-basil tortilla wraps, very tastygood.
I also got a haircut this afternoon. Not the best, but I figure Becky can help me out with a really great cut when I come home in May, so I'm not worried about it.

Joke
A man staggered home late after another evening with his drinking
buddies. Shoes in left hand to avoid waking his wife, he tiptoed
as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs
bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step in the darkened entryway.
As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung
around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in
each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.
Managing to suppress a yelp, the man sprung up, pulled down his
pants, and examined his lacerated and bleeding backside in the
mirror of a nearby darkened hallway. He then managed to find a
large full box of Band-Aids and proceeded to place a patch as best
he could on each place he saw blood.
After hiding the now almost empty box, he managed to shuffle and
stumble his way to bed.
In the morning, the man awoke with searing pain in head and butt
and his wife staring at him from across the room. She said, "You
were drunk again last night!"
Forcing himself to ignore his agony, he looked meekly at her
and replied, "Now, hon, why would you say that?"
"Well," she said, "it could be the open front door, it could be
the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the
drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your
bloodshot eyes, but, mostly....it's all those Band-Aids stuck
on the downstairs mirror

Halloween Pic Mischief
Hey guys. We had a little Halloween party here last night. Not too many people showed up, but we had some fun. The cast included a Pirate, an Angel/Devil, a Doctor, a Bat, a Jamaican Stripper, a Fairy Mommy, a Lion Cub, and a little bundle. My wings got in the way, caused a disaster. I owe someone a drink, and I have a painful bruise on my foot.
Sarah and Chris had some intense fun with Guitar Hero (most evil party game ever)
We were all having alot of fun...
Until Chris bit a child's finger off!
If there are problems loading all the pictures at once, let me know and I'll post thumbnails instead. Also, I have the unedited originals and a couple pics of the little ones if you want those.
