Schism and Jism

Wilco + Mastodon
Strangely enough, my med school roommate, who has the complete Wilco/Son Volt/Uncle Tupelo catalog, brought Mastodon to my attention (Leviathan).
Although I will never be converted to a Wilco fanatic, and will always be a Nick Cave loyalist, I count myself a fan of Mastodon.

There is nothing like celebrating legality with a newly legal teen. In the back of my white van with the tinted windows and the seascape. That's why god invented Rumpelmintz and Goldschlager.

I try to convert people to the Hendrick's, and have been fairly successful. It's gin, but it's not quite gin. The cucumber flavor is nice.
Although I'm not sure if a Hendrick's gimlet would work.
I like a good gimlet the way Philip Marlowe would drink 'em. Gin. 1/2 Rose's lime. Rocks. No Vodka.

Hendrick's martini (up + olives) or a Rye— preferably Sazarac— Manhattan (rocks, no bitters).
Wouldn't mind a good margarita from Chuy's

Dear Old Stockholm
I was living in Stockholm in the mid '90s , and I met this gorgeous blonde, a friend of my best buddy. We were always out in the bars of Sodermalm and became friends. I desired her with all the sin in Jimmy Carter's heart, but never had the balls to make a move. She was like a sister to my best…

The cats win the fight, if that is any consolation.

Overall, it's a quiet movie, not too many scenes that will surprise you or make you jump out of your seat. It's more about the relationship between the protagonist and the vampire girl, which is very sweet. There are a few gory scenes, however.

Egil—
You were great in "Egil's Saga".
When is the movie coming out?

If you want to pick up Koski, the bottle of gin should suffice.

Finland = Scandinavia's trailer park

I have combined my sex and my chocolate into the Toblerboner.

It's 'Nannerpuss!

I like swimming, too.
(Good story, I chuckled heartily!)

The Count of Monkey Cristo
Although not a bad experience, my most memorable one:

Calgary-Philly should be a good matchup.
Your Flyers have a bunch of former Preds, right? Timmonen, Scottie Upshall, Hartnell…..harken back to those days when Nashville, starngely enough, had a pretty solid hockey team….

I finished Vol 1 & 2 of Top 10 awhile back. Again, good call, mi amigo. Especially Volume 1. Need to get Vol. 2 of League now.
(If you are looking for a good read, try The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. Industrial espionage, computer hacking, and a sick Swedish serial killer…..)

I wasn't a big fan of the League movie….however, at the encouragement of Jorge Von Salsa, I went and bought the comic. Excellent read, very clever. (Vol. 1 at least).

JVS—
When do you plan to see the movie? (Or do you plan to see it?)
I'm intrigued to hear your take on it. And Phel's too—- that might be a barometer for my wife's enjoyment of the film…..Phel seems like good people.
