_artemis, lifeinwords, soupkills, calloocallay, uberlibra, and myself will be seeing it at Loews Lincoln Square, at 2:50 on Saturday March 20th. Brunch 1PM at the Utopia Diner Broadway between 72nd and 73rd. Not sure how many more we'll be able to fit in the diner, but feel free to come to the movie, get your own tickets please.

I think this week will be the week to do it... I just can't remember who you are...

There're finally iTunes caps in my neighborhood! So I now have what I'm pretty sure is a winning cap waiting for someone to come over who likes Diet Pepsi ( So I can open it w/ out too much guilt )
Yay!

It was based on a 1975 series, Ghost Busters.

They're offering a free bottle opener.

Or so says the RNC...
I wish the DNC would stoop to things like this.

Presented in the same scale. I think it's real neat.

Net connection suddenly back up... don't know if it will last... YAY! off to catchup on things.

Short summary: It was lots of fun!
calloocallay, _artemis and I had dinner at Cozy Soup & Burger, then E and I went off for the tasting. Waited in line for a bit, got in, found comfy couch to sit on. E got our first (and actually only) round of drinks (Scotch and soda and Scotch on the rocks) had some hors d'oeuvres and then it was time for the actual tasting room.
Lots of tables in the tasting room, each w/ it's own Johnnie Walker candle set. Each seat had it's own place mat with a bottle of water, a little "What makes a great blend?" card (which is a smell-o-card!) a pencil, and 5 shots. Intros, and then the video on how JW started, how great they are, #1 whisky, etc. Then the actual tasting, starting with JW Black, then three of the single malts (there are up to 40 in each bottle) that make up JW black. First fresh fruit, very light lowland whisky, then Rich fruits, which was quite nice, and I'd like some more, and finally Smoky. I like smoky whisky, but it was just too much, burned the throat a lot, and had an impossible to get rid of aftertaste... but, that's what you need if you're going to cut your smoke flavor w/ 39 other single malts. Then finally back to JW Black. Fill out the little form before you leave, get a cute little JW Pin, and I stole the candle :)

Much fun, and next time I'll hopefully have more warning, as I'm on their SMS, and e-mail lists.

Since they're doing construction downstairs...
grrr.

your federal express tracking number is anglican.

Just a warning to anyone on Orkut who didn't read the TOS very carefully, anything you upload would appear to now be owned by google, I noticed this from a Register article.

Looks like there's a movie in the makings, from coming soon.

Just to make sure all of you know about Straphangers.org, a great source for info on the MTA, including a link to the NYPIRG train map which lets you give it an address and figure out which train is closest.

Google has forked off a new site, namely orkut. It's named after the lead developer of the project, and seems to be friendster as implemented by google, only I can't be sure since you have to be invited to join it.

So I've made the mistake of noticing coffeegeek.com where they have reviews of "prosumer" coffee equipment... this has led me to want to get the Isomac Zaffiro which is unfortunately around $795. The good news is that I think I'd be fine with their Super Giada instead ($399) but I really need to at least get the Krups Moka Brew Pressure Brewer or I'll go mad....
Of course, right now I can't really afford to get coffee worth brewing in any of the above. Oh, well, guess I'll have to settle for dreaming.
