the 12 yo is good, but it's... different. worth the shot. it was reminiscent of cider vinegar, to me.

You know, "cider vinegar" doesn't sound that good...(I mean the sound of it)

here are my Yamazaki 12yo tasting notes, if you're interested, salty.

Ah, thanks. After reading your notes, I'm bit reluctant to get a bottle now. And as you've said in your notes, just for bit more, there are bottles I know I like.

the stuff is worth the money.

Just had my first couple of sips and the stuff is seriously smooth. I'll compare it with Lagavulin and the Caol Ila that I have on hand Friday night.

The bad thing is if you have a car, there's no place to park it.

Not true.

Monday... four blocks over on the left side of the street.

Tuesday... 13 blocks down on the right side of the street, because the street cleaners are coming.

Wednesday... In front of your house! However you have a $350.00 ticket because they said the wheels weren't turned to the curb enough. Even though if you turned them any harder the steering wheel would crack and fall off.

Thursday... Only eight blocks over, but that's a crack den neighborhood, so your wheels, tires and fenders are gone.

Friday... 12 blocks to the East, but the guy who lives there said your bumper extended 1.2" into his driveway and had you towed. $500.00 impound fee, and the towtruck driver got pissed because you didn't have any Hank Williams Jr. CDs to steal, so he took a big crap on your drivers seat.

Saturday... 16 blocks away, but Hillary Clinton was in town and might possibly be passing within 3 miles of your neighborhood, so the car was relocated overnight while you slept, so that her motorcade could have clear passage on a four lane street, but the city can't remember where they moved the 12 cars on that block to. They'll be happy to send you an email in 6 months or so once the car is located.

Sunday... After taking out a loan you are able to buy a $50.00 Muni monthly pass. Problem solved.

the 12 yo *SCOTCH* is good, but it's... different. worth the shot. it was reminiscent of cider vinegar, to me.

Fixed that for ya, lest the boys in Blue come knockin' at your door.

Yamazaki isn't Scotch, dude, and we were talking about Yamazaki.

You know, I realized I typed "scotch" instead of "whisky" when I wrote about Yamazaki. This is what happens I don't pay attention to what I'm typing. Back to drinking more beer.

Used ThinkPad T-40. Should arrive tomorrow. I can finally be rid of the Gateway!!!

now all you need to do is trade the T-40 in for a Mac, and you can be a respectable person.

If you want to contribute the difference, I'm all for it. People seem to think their used Macs are made of solid gold. And new is certainly out of my price range at the moment. A MacBook Pro is in my future at some point. This is just a stop-gap measure, spending little money.

d'oh, i meant to burn swt61, and i ended up burning Salty

Hell I'm too easy of a target anyway!

Yeah but the beauty of that city is that you don't need a car.

Yeah, except she lives in Oakland. And the nature of her work and lifestyle is such that she needs a car more than half the time.

i agree that used Mac prices are fucking ridiculous.

Heh, my free Powerbook G4 should ship around the end of this week.

Little sister - "Hey Nate, if you want my old Powerbook you can have it."

Nate - "Sure!"

Free 15" Powerbook FTW

I've read nothing but good things. I'm looking forward to getting it set up.

If your little Sister is anything like my little Sister it wouldn't exactly be free considering all the money I've funneled her way. Still it's nice to have some payback, and that was very cool of her.

I got a drink cozie with some Random bar name from my Sister once.

Bryant/Carrier A/C for the house. Being installed as I type.

She's a good kid, hasn't had the easiest life and yeah, I tend to dote on her like every good older brother should. Needless to say she was compensated for the shipping plus a little extra.

VIP Tickets to see Tiesto at the Webster on June 25th.

Used ThinkPad T-40. Should arrive tomorrow.

Arrived... Everything seems to be fine. Though I FUCKING HATE IT when they don't provide a recovery CD and only provide the recovery partition. And the software for creating recovery CDs from the partition isn't compatible with the T40. So without jumping through a bunch of hoops either trying to ghost the image or buying the media from Lenovo, the HD can't be replaced/upgraded.

:rant:

Need to be able to run Autocad on it.

Yeah the T40 is one of the first laptops that started doing that. Annoying, especially if you need the extra hardrive space
