Boy is it cool. I am a bit bummed the flickr plugin is being troublesome with it though. Till it is fixed I have held back updating my site. I really like the flickr plugin and it would suck to not have it. Also on a side note the store will no longer be a part of my site as I really never add anything to it, I originally intended to sell paintings and random hand made plush but I really don’t have time to make cool stuff ever. The small bits of stuff I make are always gifts to make up for the fact I’m a cheap bastard and never want to spend money unless it’s on myself (toys, bourbon, fiji… the important things).

Here is one of the funniest things I seen all week.

As I figured a picture of the awesome full size Globby has surfaced! This guy will be available at Tentacles, Horns, and Scales at Apr. 19th Thrash Out in Tokyo. Yet another cool ass figure I will not be getting

I suppose I will have to be happy with my minis.

Now to speak of things I actually can acquire. Today after consulting with a client in Coronado I decided to head to the liquor store a few stores down looking for a bourbon bottle I’ve yet to find here in Dago Town. They indeed had the bottle of Pappy Van Winkles 20 year Bourbon, I was ready to drop $70 on it but it was a cool $99.99, since I’m a cheap bastard I decided I should go with the Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 year old that was only $44.95.

I raced home to have a pour and my lord was it tasty. This the type of whiskey you break out for your grand dad who drinks so he can say “Damn boy that is some good bourbon!” The flavor was subtle but present, not just some warm burning sensation. At first I tasted a somewhat moldy flavor (?) but it soon morphed into a sweet almost fruity taste that was very subtle.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been drinking the poop spectrum of bourbon’s lately or what but it is so good. I swore by the old Woodford but I don’t know anymore. I also bought a bottle of Bulleit Frontier Whiskey upon a recommendation from Dr. Burrito himself and I soon realized why he is Dr.Burrito and not Dr. Bourbon. I can only describe it as the flavor of a liquid penny. It is now the whiskey my old lady can mix with her cola

This post started sad and ended happily, I will now retire to some foods and more sips of the sauce.
