    I just finished tiling my new bed stand!

    The tiles were old samples from a local store that didn't want them anymore, the shelf itself was something my Grandma had, and grout and stuff we had lying around the house, so the entire cost of the project was the $5 spent on some molding. I feel very thrifty.

    In other success related news, I'm going to Japan this summer!

    Hey now! I'm calling going to Japan this summer! Specifically over July 4th. Because nothing scream "American Independence" like attending a traditional Japanese wedding. Apparently.

    We defeated those Japs so soundly that we've invaded their traditions! That's what I like to call American Independence.

    Very nice tiling job! Way to be super crafty. Ryan, I've already told you, I can't go to China because I'm too tall. When I went to Europe, asian tourists wanted to take pictures of me, I'm pretty sure because they thought I was mildly terrifying. I tower over most people here in Austin as it is; I would feel like a GIANT if I ever went to China.

    Well, there's one girl in my office who is taller than me and therefore you as well. So I know for a fact you wouldn't be the tallest woman in Hangzhou. At least #2.

    Also, QQ, that tiling job is freaking cool. Very nicely done.

    Because we're not Nixon.

    Yeah, plus we might run into you. We're just not willing to take that chance.

    Lauren you're not even THAT tall! So stop whining and go visit China.

    I won a gift basket in a raffle tonight.

    More on the alcohol. I see Smirnoff, some whisky next to it, but that's it. What's in the other 5 bottles?

    front row left to right: Scotch, vodka, Merlot, and Whiskey
    back row left to right: Champagne, Bodega Robino, and Gamay Beaujolais

    I'm actually eager to try that last one. I'm not a fan of most red wines but that looks good. You can't see it in the picture but it's the same color as cranberry juice.

    That must have been a rather large basket, seemingly filled with lots of good stuffs.
    Congratulations, I guess?

    I have a horseshoe moustache. Just like Hulk Hogan. Take that, bitches.
  • edited April 2010
    That's not a handlebar, dude. It's still pretty impressive, though.
  • edited April 2010
    Right. I meant horseshoe. It's corrected now!

    Because I did not want to get up to get a glass, I instead poured whiskey into my coke bottle, and I'm drinking that instead. I'm very proud of myself.
  • edited April 2010
    Why not just drink out of the whiskey bottle?
  • edited April 2010
    Because then he wouldn't be drinking whiskey out of a coke bottle.
  • edited April 2010
    It was Johnnie Walker, and it has that weird cap on the top that prevents it from pouring out too fast.
  • edited April 2010
    Whiskey can only be drank on the rocks, Ryan... or at least with mineral water. This is not a success.
  • edited April 2010
    No way. It goes great with lemonade too.
  • edited April 2010
    It also goes surprisingly well with green tea. I discovered this at a bar in Hong Kong sometime last year.

    Perhaps GOOD whiskey should be had on its own, but when you're poor and can only afford Evan Williams or some similar cheap knockoff, it's best to mute the flavor with some other strong mixer, like Coke.
