I see that there’s a new trailer available for the new Bond movie “Die Another Day” (trailer released Sept 5th). I’ve been somewhat disappointed with the Bond movies since GoldenEye (Tomorrow Never Dies had a bizarre plot while TWINE had poor acting from the non-Brosnan players), but I have my hopes up for this one :).
(the trailer requires QuickTime, no surprise there)
I went for drinks with some guys from the office, after work. I ordered a glass of Speckled Hen Ale (which was on special: $2 / 20oz). It was on the bitter side, as beers go, but not in a bad way. However, it didn’t have as much flavor as, say, a Newcastle might.
I’m not one to “drink for the sake of drinking” so, after the Speckled Hen, I hadn’t planned on necessarily ordering another. However, my boss was nice enough to buy a “snake bite” for me. He was previously aware of my penchant for cider and he assured me that I’d enjoy it ;).
A snake bite is 1/2 pint Lager and 1/2 pint Cider (sweet or dry). They’re layered in a glass much in the same way that a black & tan would be.
Anyhow, I tasted the snake bite, and it was delicious. It had the creaminess of the lager mixed with the sweetness of the cider. And, the bitterness of the lager just pokes through. Ooh, that was one tasty beverage. And, I may just have to order them from time to time :).
From BBSpot: What if real life was filled with l33t sp3ak? It’s a collection of Photoshop-altered photographs, but some of them are rather amusing.
The gravestone is my favorite ;).
The Sopranos begins its new season on Sunday. I’ve heard good things about the show, and I would like to watch it, but I don’t have HBO (nor is it available on my cable system without having to upgrade to digital cable).
So, if anyone regularly gets together with friends to watch the show, I’d be interesting in coming along :). On the other hand, I haven’t seen any episodes of the show, and I have heard from some people that it might be better for me to watch the earlier-season episodes first (?).
Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani has finally ditched his comb-over. He looks a lot better for it — I’ve never been a fan of the comb-over, and his was one of the more pathetic-looking.
It’s just too bad it only occured due to happenstance ;)
According to Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel, “The mayor has been extremely busy in the last five days and he combed his hair quickly like this one morning.” His lady approved. And what man needs more than that? […]
