Bubbly water - I've got an upset stomach and an early flight tomorrow. But Crown Royal and Coke sounds right up my alley. :)

First night off of my diet. I'm having Tommyknocker Cocoa Porter.

red poweraid and chamomile tea.

i don't feel like drinking but i do still have some chocolate topped everything cookies and strawberry pie.
*gestures to share*
*wonders if it's worth making tea*

I'm at work for another hour or so, so it's raspberry juice and sparkling water for me.

Since I'm at work, San Pelligrino.
*belches discretely*

I'm glad you worked it out with your fiance, desjardins.

And I say "Cheers!" with my glass of chardonnay.

I'm into wine tonight too - a new red I haven't tried yet. It's pretty good - I like it when I gamble on a pretty label and it works out well :)

I have no alcohol in the house. Wait. I do have two bottles of rum. I won't be breaking into that tonight. I have to wake up early and discuss Easter parties.

Cheap vodka and orange soda.

Salud!

A glass of pinot. . .there was about one glass left in a bottle way back on the shelf.

Bourbon and water. I'm reviewing "10,000 B.C." for a local paper while drinking it. I'm trying to drink it slowly enough that it doesn't turn my review into a total hatchet job, which if you've seen the movie, you know is an impossible task.

Captain Morgan and Diet Coke here.
Can someone please tell me what a
Tommyknocker Cocoa Porter is?

OMG!!
Did I just say that?

Tommyknocker Cocoa Porter

I never drink alone. I just had a couple shots of Tullamore Dew with my cats.

That last sentence was potentially vague. No, the cats didn't drink Tullamore. No, there wasn't kitty in the Tullamore. I just had whisky in the company of feline friends.

middleclass, I recently snuck into the first half 10,000 BC at the theatre that's playing the Cleveland International Film Fest (when I should have been responsible and watched The Planet). 10K rocks. It's every fanboy and little kid's dream and I can't wait to see the ending this week. Cro Magnons and mammoths and sabertooths, oh my. Killer CG as well (though not quite on a par with the latest King Kong.) Very Graham Hancock, too, what with brief references to Atlantis and aliens, and "gods" who look Aztec and Egyptian, and pyramids dating waaaay back before Christ (as is the popular thought lately.) Nifty fun theory on how the pyramids were built--why didn't I think of that?

OK, I'm done for the night. Unfortunately I have to get up for work in 6.5 hours. I have a feeling I'm not going to enjoy it.

I'm drinking alone... coffee with sugar AND cream, at 7 a.m. *hangs head in shame*

I'm drinking SFA.... but I'm going to knock off shortly, and go home, and drink the bottle of Brugge Blonde that I picked up yesterday.

(and then probably some Chateau Abbotsford after that....)

Brugge Blonde is not bad at all. Still prefer Hoegaarden, but there you go...

shane, that's pretty much what I said in my review, though I didn't put it nearly as charitably. I said it'll be fun for the kids, and fun for you if you like adventure B movies, but to me it played like a Michael Bay film: Please Take Me Just a Little Bit Seriously. Also like a Michael Bay film, it utterly fails at that.

The personal drama was...oof. Everyone talked with Klingon grammar. Snow is "white rain," but rain is "water from heaven." The movie purports to be about all peoples coming together, only they're coming together to kill Arab-looking people, one of whom evidently has a toy voice-changing device, apropos of nothing. The ending, which I won't ruin for you, was an absolute cop-out.

I don't object to the film itself, really -- it's B-flicker-fun, as I said, but I do object to the fact that they dropped $100 million on it. Expensive films are the reason I had to pay nine bucks to go see this thing, and for me the action and effects payoff wasn't worth it. The film struck me as a colossal waste of cash, yet another "blockbuster" that's going to help drive ticket and concession prices up even more.

YMMV, of course.

Don't worry about the false alarm. It was serious to you, and that's important. I'm glad things are better.

Crown Royal and Coke sounds yummy. But all I'm having is office coffee :(

LOL, middleclass, your problem might have been expectations. I find that if you expect absolutely nothing from a film like 10,000 BC or AVP, you can be pleasantly surprised by things like the CG or just general fun. With mammoths and sabretooths running around, do you really expect plot? Then again, it can be annoying when a mindless film actually thinks it has a plot.
