I think I may have invented a drink . . .
Dec. 31st, 2006 04:59 pmOne part amaretto (Di Saronno, preferably)
One part Godiva liqueur
Two parts cream
Is there already a name for this or should I try to come up with one? 'Cos wow is it tasty.
My brother (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
docwhoopee) picked my name in the Christmas gift exchange and got me a bottle of Amaretto Di Saronno and a bottle of Godiva liqueur. Thus the drink invention. My parents went ahead and got me a George Foreman grill and my sister (puppetmaker40) gave me a bootleg copy of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. (She was embarrassed to find out it was a bootleg, but I assured her that legal copies are hard to come by since the thing went out of print. I played it through and it plays perfectly, so no complaints.)
I picked my brother-in-law's name (he doesn't have an LJ as such, but he has a blog feed on LJ--![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
peterdavidblog2) and gave him a couple of Tom Lehrer CDs, which he appreciated. I got the baby (well, toddler now, since they're both four) nieces books and toys, and got my teenage neice, Ariel, some jewelry and a funky scarf.
I went with Kath and Ariel to see Eragon, which wasn't nearly as bad a movie as the blogosphere was making it out to be. Lord of the Rings Lite, really. It probably helped that my expectations where somewhere in the basement where Dungeons and Dragons hangs out, so I was quite pleasantly surprised. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a big fun popcorn movie.
Tonight, I'm going to Java Monkey for an early poetry reading and then probably going to the EARL to see The Selmanaires, unless I get a better offer between now and then.
Today I took pleasure in chocolate covered macadamia nuts.
Today I learned Laurell K. Hamilton made fandom_wank by having a meltdown on her blog about all the people who have been bitterly disappointed with the direction (or, rather, lack of direction) her books have taken.
