Glenlivet 12 Year

Ive liked this whiskey ever since I visited the distillery. Great stuff. Clean, mellow, and soft with a touch of spice.

Macallan 12 Year

My beautiful and loving wife bought me a bottle of the Macallan 12 year and a Balvenie 12. I havent cracked the Balvenie yet but Ive tied into the Macallan quite a bit and I love this whiskey! Vanilla, sherry, and a touch smokey.

Doctor Who: Coldheart

Ok, ok, the recent Doctor Who tv series got me to take this book out of the library. Its a newer Doctor Who novel with an unrecognizable Doctor and different companions. Kinda boring, really, even though I just expected a simple escapist read. Dissipointing.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Very dark, funny, smart, and witty. Pitt and Jolie have great chemistry that ties it all togeather. In one dimension its an action movie, in another its a romantic comedy but I think in reality its a dark comedic take on married life. A lot of fun -- I want to see this one again. 7/10.

Dot-com mania, part II?

Now, 10 years after two key events in the history of the Internet -- the successful IPO of Netscape, which many cite as the beginning of Wall Streets love affair with Net stocks, and the founding of Yahoo! -- were in the midst of a new, lets say mini dot-com boom. (Netscape is now owned by Time Warner.)

The Streets: Fit But You Know It

The Streets have been my secret UK-rap/pop love since the origional pirate material. At times silly and fun, at times mind-blowing.
"Mike Skinner has a problem, and from the sound of it, its life-threatening. He opens his second Streets full-length by moaning "It was supposed to be so easy..." as though hes about to deliver his deathbed confession, the classic tale of a crime gone wrong. Instead, three minutes later, its clear what the "it" was: walking down to bring back a DVD rental, taking some money out of the machine, and calling his mother, who hed just left at home, to tell her he wouldnt be back for tea."

Beck: Guero

Straightforward fun. Less unapproachable than other attempts, this one you can actually listen to in public without wearing a black beret and turtleneck. Good summer tunes.
