Speaking of which I'm working on not thinking about work on weekends and also not letting work stuff bother me. It's new for me to try to detach like this.
My buddy got one when we’re twelve that made him aphasic. It was wild they thought he had meningitis - but dehydration what the thing that triggered it.
Thinking of heading to a movie theater for the first time in 2.5-3 years.
I only went to the movie theater 1-2 times a year pre-covid, wasn't a big thing to give up. Whatcha gonna see?
Same here, never been a big theater person but I have some free passes 🙂 Thinking Dune and/or No time to die.
Dune was SO GOOD!!!
Change of plans. Narcos Mexico Season 3 is out on Netflix. It is a couch weekend for me.
Renting this at home tonight. Honestly, I'm not much for movie theaters either. I think Endgame was the last time I was in a theater.
If anyone's every up for an adventure, try out the Vieux Carre. Such a great rye cocktail.

That looks great. Anyone have any recommendations on Cognac? That's a spiritual not very familiar with. Love me a nice Side Car, but never gave much thought to the components.
I use Chabanneau XO since I usually mix it into something. It's really good for the price point.
Can’t help you with a cognac recommendation, unfortunately. But looking forward to a 2014 Vigo Etna Rosso along with homemade linguine puttanesca for dinner tonight. 3 patients down today, 10 more to go…
My wife passed a huge test for her job and got a huge certification. We're about two weeks out from Baby #2, and I'm just like "pls not yet" because I've got a lot to do. I'm almost to pre-pandemic weight. I want to get a lot of miles this weekend.

Watching Brie Larson repeatedly, publicly beg Taylor Swift to notice her, and Taylor Swift completely ignoring her is so bizarre. It's like, "woman, you have an Oscar..."

I don't understand T-Swift. She's alright, but a bit overblown, IMO.
I personally subscribe to the theory that she's gay or some variety of queer, which makes her much more interesting. IMO.
Drinking one at the moment. Redemption Rye, Dolins Vermouth, and Dujardin VSOP (cheap stuff). Pretty tasty.
Off for the holiday (which means I'm only spending a few hours per day writing reports and/or grading papers). Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Be safe, have fun, and recharge.
Drinking a bottle of wine. Gonna pick up more antiques from home on the holidays.
Glad you liked it! It's been a go to when I get tired of drinking Manhattans. I also use Redemption Rye and then Antica for the Vermouth.
.
Swap out the cognac for Campari and you basically have a Boulevardier, which is another great bourbon cocktail for when you're sick of manhattans.
I'll have to try it.
Leave out the Benedictine and Peychauds. Replace the bourbon with gin and you've got a Negroni, which is also very good (and best if drunk while wearing a bowtie)
Are these antiques also business furniture?
No. Not that type of thing. The office is fully furnished. Unless I replace usable stuff with fragile, non ada compliant, bad ergonomic things.
Can you sell personal assets to your llc? Or is that a capital contribution?
doesn’t matter.
She's just a boring rich kid with well connected parents, lean looks, and blonde hair - the ketchup of the music industry. That might be the reason.
Right?! Her music is super standard mainline pop with an occasional country twang thrown in to keep it interesting. Hardly worth the hype.
Y'all about to be doxxed by the Taylorverse for speaking ill of the Chosen One.
Haha, I really hope somebody makes an SDN account just so they can fight me
Someone's done it twice for me in the last year. I'm living rent free in someone's head.
Man, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for a few reasons. First, I love to cook for people. I try to do most things from scratch and have my turkey pretty down pat (spatchcock by removing the backbone with some shears and flattening out the bird on a cooking sheet - cuts the cooking time down, and helps get the different types of meats to their preferred temperature as white meat is best at 150 degrees and dark meat needs to render connective tissue and fat at 175+ in half as much cooking time).
But, this year, we are on baby watch and will be going to in-laws where there is a bit of lack of pride in the cooking (lots of corner cutting and Costco sides). Oh well, I guess I'll just drink my FIL's Blanton's. It will still be great seeing everyone.
I'm a little worried because they had the ole C-1 niner last week, but are testing clear now. Thank goodness we're all vax'd.

Who did your FIL murder to get Blantons?
BIL manages a grocery store (all allocated bourbons gets held for employees, basically).
Ah, well feel free to mention R. Matey if they happen to have a bottle.
Do you have Total Wine in your area?
Yes, but I haven't seen it there.
You won't. But if you;re signed up for their Rewards program, and shop there occasionally, you can sign up for a twice yearly "raffle" to buy rare whiskey and bourbon at MSRP. Essentially, every dollar you spend in the time period counts as a raffle ticket. It's how I bought my Rip Van Winkle for $70 a couple years back
Sanman
O.G.
I will have to look into this. Total wine is a bit out of the way for me, but close to some friends I visit. Picked up a Whistle Pig Rye for Thanksgiving as I will be at home this year. Curious to try it for the first time, I have heard good things.

Oh, wow. Noted. Thanks for the advice!
Yeah, you can order some things in for pickup (not the rares, though) so you could just do an order for when you go over there to get some tickets.
Of course. As payment for the advice, I'll gladly take the first rare you get 😉
So, Eagle Rare then?
I'd take that, actually. People around here pretty much buy up most of the Buffalo Trace distillery offerings as soon as they hit the shelf.
Right?! I used to have no problem finding a bottle, but now it's non-existent. I can find BT, but ER or EH Taylor? Forget about it.
Same here. I actually found my first Eagle Rare in the wild. I really like it for the price. In my neck of the woods, Total Wine gets the Buffalo Trace (EH Taylor, Weller, Saz, etc.) on Weds or Fri. People line up for it. I have more bourb than i'll ever drink. I think that's a good problem to have. It's a fun little hunt. Also, don't sleep on Wal Marts for Eagle Rare.
I'd have to cross state lines to take advantage of that one.
Do you live in Utah or something?
Nope, just one of several states where you have to go to a liquor store as you cannot buy in grocery stores.
Utah is also one of these states, unsurprisingly.
Submitted a revised manuscript (minor revision) today that I received the decision for on 11/24--hoping for a quick and positive outcome, as this is a passion project MS for me (and related to psychology training)!
