A feast for crows

Finally finished that absolutely wonderful book by George R.R. Martin. I have never seen a more beautiful karmic act of betrayal until the end of that book and I await the sequel. I also purchased a few things including a shiny new rug for the new place. Gods, the move will be involved and rewarding at the end of the deed.

Oh, I also watched the political debates and found it interesting. I appreciate the round-table format and many of the points/sound bytes were excellent. I shan't speak more of the debate, but I thought this first quote from the Devil's Dictionary would be most apt.







From the Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce
POLITICIAN, n. An eel in the fundamental mud upon which the superstructure of organized society is reared. When we wriggles he mistakes the agitation of his tail for the trembling of the edifice. As compared with the statesman, he suffers the disadvantage of being alive.

Boozy updates

After receiving my first full sized paycheck, I decided to celebrate and purchase a little alcohol. To be precise, I bought two items for myself and some wine/Guinness for the folks. Bottle 1 was "Tequila Rose", a strawberry cream liqueur with tequila in it for a bit of zing which would be excellent on ice cream.

I also finally picked up a bottle of the strangest stuff; Zen Green Tea Liqueur. I had been considering the stuff though I was annoyed that I couldn't find a small bottle and the 35$ price tag was a tad steep for a risk like that. It was 30% off and there was one bottle left so I picked that up. Turns out it is actually surprisingly sweet rather then a bitter like I had predicted; tastes like melon liqueur plus a green tea flavour which works well in a twisted kind of way.

After that sampling, I decided to produce one last shot to sip upon. 1/2 oz of Chambord raspberry and 1/2 oz of Creme de Cacao. Daaamn. This is a keeper, incredibly easy and decadent at the same time. Chocolate raspberry cheesecake in a shot.
