Best & Worst: Cocktails

Three cocktails I think are real, real tasty (even though I generally prefer beer over mixed drinks):


  • Limoncello Mojito - I had my first mojito just a few short months ago. It was no ordinary mojito, nay, it was livened up with Italian lemon-flavored liqueur which complimented the fresh mint deliciously. Four yums out of five.
  • Coconut Rum with Pineapple Juice - I'm sure this drink has a proper name, but I can't be bothered to look it up. Suffice it to say, I drank this almost exclusively for an entire summer, foregoing my typical beer preference as shocking proof I liked me some coconutty-pineapple-y goodness.
  • Watermelon Margarita - It seems that all of my fave cocktails are really summery drinks. Maybe I revert back to beer in the winter out of a subconcious need for that comforting lager. Whatever, the watermelon margarita I had at Chebby's was de-fuckin-lish. End of story.

Three cocktails I have personally tried and think taste like, well, not something I want to try again:

  • Gin & Dr. Pepper - It was an experiment at a very young age, what can I say. But heed my warning: tis a vile concoction wretched enough to make you want to swallow your tongue. And not in a good way. And for that matter, anything with gin in it is repulsive by definition. But that's just my opinion.
  • Southern Comfort & Mountain Dew - Gack. Just thinking about this drink makes my eyes water. Anything that sweet should be investigated by Mulder and Scully and filed under "Nauseatingly Sweet Alien Liquid".
  • Peppermint Schnapps & Milk - For real, y'all, I drank this. While it does surprisingly taste a lot like a candy cane, there's just nothing right about mixing alcohol and milk. Never, under any circumstances, just don't do it. And don't talk to me about White Russians or any of that nonsense either. Milk + Alcohol = Vomitlicious.

Stupid Saturn Rising

My horoscope today said that "my insecurity has taken on a life of its own". That's comforting. Now I remember why I quit reading horoscopes. Although, I thought I was just making the title up with this reference to Saturn rising, but as it turns out, my astrological chart really does say that Saturn is my ascendant planet right now. I'm super fucking in tune with my planets, so just keep that in mind. It's my secret weapon. In other news, have you ever had that problem where you have absolutely so much going on and so much to do, that you find yourself unable to start and complete one simple task? Take for instance, a blog post. I must have started writing on four separate posts in the last week, yet you can easily see nothing new posted in that time frame. I'm guilting on the fact that I haven't posted in so long. Generally, I wouldn't care so much - at least not enough to feel guilty about it - but the wicked knowledge that there are a few hardy sou

High Tide

On the Piney! About three days after we were there last, the banks could no longer contain the flood water and the river rose to about 10 feet from where our tent stood just a few days previously. I don't *think* The Lodge took on any water, but it would have been a really close call, and for those of you that don't know, The Lodge is easily a 150-ft. walk from the normal river bank. Photographic evidence: And I'm going to try this new-fangled video thing...we'll see if it works for anyone (8 Mb for a shorty):

Don't You Love it When...

...you get a new phone? I am bursting with pride over my new little friend. It sings to me and she retrieves my email...I love it so. The only downside is that I'm bound to become one of those people pretending to pay attention in a conversation but am actually checking my emails on my phone. But, I'm breaking it in with the firm assertion that I WON'T become one of those people addicted to their email. I'm not that important and I don't ever want to be that important. ...you have a party and the cops are called because people are having too much fun for stodgy suburbia? The third (or was it fourth) annual Jamexican party had probably it's largest turnout ever (thanks in large part to Anna and her party coordination skills) and I think everyone had a jolly good time. By the time the cops showed up to let us know there had been "several" noise complaints from neighbors (which maybe? I have a hard time believing since two of our five neighbors wer
