Irish Tiger...Take 1

so in honor of the greatest Riverdancer of all time (Michael Flaherty) and the obscene amount of time that I spend with my friends out at the pub - we have decided to invent a new alcholic shooter.... THE IRISH TIGER (cue the bagpipes and the leprechauns with their pot of gold...)

Whiskey
Bailey's Irish Cream
Kahlua

let's just say that we still need to return to the drawing board on this one... It was NOT DELICIOUS (even the bartender wished us "luck" before we drank it) and I'm pretty sure was the main cause of me sleeping ALL DAY Saturday.

Oh- Irish Tiger, you may have won this round...

i love gooold.....

well I don't really love gold- i'm more of a silver person myself- but I just couldn't pass these beauties up in the consignment store...and the best thing about them (besides how fabulous i looked in them for Wonka's birthday dinner) was the fact that they were FREE !!!! Well not really free but I had some of my items sell at the consignment store so I just applied the credit to purchase them. Fabulous and thrifty...what more can a girl ask for...

it's the greatest thing to happen - since the original

HOLY SMOKES SON !!!! TRON could possibly be one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME!! You best believe that I will be battling the crowds to see this one in the theater (yes- there will be crowds).

Watching TRON just reminds me of the simple days when crappy computer graphics ruled the world and we thought things couldn't get better. Now it's all CGI and greenscreen effects but at the core of it all we owe everything to TRON.

I guess we have come full circle in a way- instead of being banished to the archieves of cinematic history, the makers of TRON have decided to embrace the computer technology that once sought to replace it. yeah i know....DEEP.

Trailer to Tron 2

funny.

This was posted on the DCist blog that I follow and I really almost peed my pants when I read this one. I work in the same building as ATF and Homeland Security so I hear these types of conversations often.

Overheard of the Week

In Crystal City:

An early- to mid-40s male walking down Crystal Drive, talking on a cell phone:

Guy, loudly into the phone: "(Name), the weapons are fine..."
(pause)
Shouting into the phone while holding it in front of his mouth: "I SAID THE WEAPONS ARE FINE! THEY ARRIVED SAFELY!"
