Absinthe Cocktail or Absent cocktail

To tell the truth I wasn't looking forward this one. I am not a lover of anise this one calls for two ingredients that features it.

1 1/2 oz of Absinthe substitute
3/4 oz water
1/4 Anisette
1 dash of orange bitters.

Shake and serve in a cocktail glass.

A beautiful looking drink and the scent of it fills the room. The flavor reminds me of licorice jelly beans coating my mouth. Not bad at all.

Oh and before anyone asks why I didn't use real absinthe, it was illegal when the book was published and we don't have anyway.

Looking after I leaped

I was out buying ingredents at the local liquor store and was chatting with the clerk and he asked how many drink are in the book. I didn't have an answer for him and just maybe I should find out.

Ye gods!! That's 748 drinks! What did I get myself into?

At about three drinks a week, its going to take 5 years.

Well 1 down and 747 to go.

Captain America

Reason one why we need a new Captain America movie.

The Boston Project or Abby who?

Today I start my much anticipated project of drinking through a cocktail book. I've selected Mr.Boston's De Luxe Official Bartender's Guide from 1967.

Today's beverage is the Abby Cocktail











Made with Dry Gin, Orange Juice, Orange Bitters and garnished with a Maraschino Cherry. It's quite refreshing and tasty on this summer's evening.

Next Drink: Absinthe (or Absent) Cocktail

An open letter to DC Comics

Well, I've been meaning to have a bit of a talk with you. Some of us are worried about your actions, the seem....whats the word I'm looking for.....self distrctive. Your actions with your movies are hurting us and your self more then you think. The Green Lantern film shows this all too well, and I haven't seen it.

You need to stop with the marketing tie ins at least until a sequel is made. Seeing Reece's schill your movie along with peanut butter cups doesn't make me want to see it.

Stop casting the wrong actors for charicters, even if they are minor charicters. I like Angela Bassett but my geek-o-meter runs cries foul when you have her play Amanda Waller. Wasn't Patricia Belcher from Bones avaiable to work?

Lastly, the special effects are not the only thing in a movie. Compairing Oa to Thor's Asgard, Oa looks like ass. The CGI costumes don't work for me at all, I want to see iconic looks not fancy energy patterns. I suspect pure fxsploitation.

I think that covers it. We'll talk again soon DC about Superman.

Gaming Logistics

The one thing I have issues with in running an RPG is getting a group together and keep them on a scedule. Currently I can get only two people in on a regular on Sundays. A couple of plans of attack that come to mind are:

1. Change the System. I like Gamma World, but not everyone does. I might change over to Serenity so I can gain one or two more players.

2. Change the day. I usually run on a Sunday after the bi-weekly game I play in and another player in that game runs on that Sunday too. Perhaps if I switch it to an off week we could get more players.

Anyone have thoughts to help me out?
