I’m going to be at work late enough that I will have to check the bus schedule to see just how late I’ll be getting home. Dear fellow St. Louisans, please fund Metro transit so there is more than one bus an hour.

Ingredients:
Blue Curacao
Vodka
Lemonade
Cointreau
Rum
Orangina
Small tumblers

Directions: “This drink is, of course, designed to resemble the two coloured portals from the excellent sci-fi puzzle game. For the blue version, get a small tumbler and pour in 10ml of Blue Curacao, 10ml of vodka and top up with lemonade. For orange you’ll need another tumbler, this time filled with 10ml of Cointreau, 10ml of rum and Orangina. If you fancy, you can jazz the glasses up with coloured sugar rims. Simply pour some sugar into a sandwich bag with the relevant food colouring, shake them up, pour the resulting mix into a dish and dip your tumbler in.

For the first time, I’m hosting Christmas Eve dinner, and I’m getting excited about the menu. And my gifts for people are AWESOME. Cranberry ham, mashed sweet potatoes, green beans…and far too many desserts.

Two guys who got on the Metrolink this morning just as the doors closed smelled VERY strongly of pot, and not the good kind, either. The one guy works for McDonald’s–sure hope I never visit that location!

#fridayreads THE SUMMER TREE by Guy Gavriel Kay. Picked it up when Borders collapsed, finally getting around to reading it.

Scott Roeseler+1I’ve always likes the Fionavar Tapestry. If you enjoy it I highly recommend Tigana, it’s one of my favorites.

Robert S. Kimsey+Scott Roeseler Yeah, Tigana is a great. So is a Song for Arbonne. I’m reading Under Heaven right now, and that’s off to a good start.
