Aw.

Season 1 was the best. Because of Murphy, who I still have a soft spot for.

aw, Murph.

my Manhattans are rum. Becuase that is what my grandfather drank - and the entire family, even the nondrinkers ( white zin is not a drink) drank them. and a neighbor ( a year older than me - so 40ish) sid she felt like such a grownup - because my grandfather made it only for the gorwnups.

though generally I am to lazy too make them so I just drink dark rum on the rocks.

Martini's ( of course gin) - only by our neighbor F. because he makes them how I like them. and I usually can't walk after dinner at F and J's.

G&T are the way to drink gin and I want them tall with extra lime.

margaritas - real lime juice and blue cureso (which I have no idea how to spell)

other than that I tend to stick to wine

Aww, Jesse found a nerd buddy! Paula Poundstone almost always cracks me up on Wait, Wait!

I'm tivoing Carrier for later viewing. When I somehow find a minute. I watched most of the first hour and got hooked.

not watching Carrier - my sister was on one, and I got an idea of what it was like.

I just read a bunch of the postcard site - the more random emails - with left out word s, the wrong words, and the jumping around... they could be written by my mom or even more sadly me.

Not to denigrate any nerd buddies here, of course!

Oh, and this will only be of interest to msbelle and bon bon, if them, but some friend-of-a-friend tried to friend me on Facebook, and it turns out to be the meat book guy from that one party. @@

I also adhere firmly to Daisy Jane's belief that a drink made out of vodka, vermouth and either an olive or an onion may be a delightful libation but it is not, strictly speaking, a martini.

Given that the name "martini" comes from the vermouth in it, I'm certainly not going to argue with you. In fact, if you said in someone's house in France that you wanted "un martini," you would get a glass of vermouth.

HA!

oh and ita - yes the cards are mac related, BUT STILL. I am sending him to school with trading notes so he will know what cards to get (he wants this help btw, but I am clearly too competitive, even I can see it).

Given that the name "martini" comes from the vermouth in it

Hey, now, the name is because it was invented in Martinez. One of those fake unofficial courts said so!

Jesse, on the contrary, I am very interested in what a meat book guy is.

It sounds kinda gross, but I'm interested anyway.

The cocktail article made me want to make Manhattans this weekend, because I have the vague impression that I like those. I mostly drink beer, or use mixers, or have a rum & coke.

My sloth interferes with my drunkenness. It's sad.

But in a fit of spendyness last weekend, I ordered a cool cart/bar thingy to properly display my booze & mixers & such, and I'm having people over next month so I may attempt to have an actual cocktail party. I think I even have goofy umbrella-straws somewhere, which should count for something.
