I'm about halfway through American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. So far, it's quite good. Given the rave reviews of it, I expected it to be less like his other stuff. But then I'm only halfway through so I'm sure there's a lot left to discover.

My port arrived. I've got excellent port sitting around for the first time in too long. Now I *really* have to intercept visiting CMU folks while they're in town :-P

Are you saying it's too good for the CMU folk that aren't visiting California?

[miss-mimsy.livejournal.com]

Oh ho...I see how it is. Port is only for the fine CMU folks. Us poor Califonians will just have to suffer with really bad beer and wine. *sigh*

I guess the locals are always the last to know. ;-)

Because, y'know, you Californians have constantly had trouble getting me to give guests liquor when you're in my apartment :-P

I *don't* give people beer when they're in my apartment, but that's because normally there isn't any. You've have to make do with Celtic Crossing liqueur -- you poor, poor dear :-P

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

I don't remember if I've given you alcohol or not, so I can't make quite the catty comeback I made to her :-)

Nonetheless, you're welcome to try some port when you, it and I are all in the same location. Or if you break into my place. Either way.

*dramatic sweep of hand to forehead*

You see, this is how Californians are treated! You refuse to stock beer and force us to drink Celtic Crossing liqueur! Oh the agony, the pain, the suffering...

Oh wait a minute. I loathe beer and like Celtic Crossing liqueur. Okay, sorry all you California beer drinkers, you are on your own.

But don't think I don't see the blatant segregation going on between locals and CMU folks. I am on to you, buster! We will have our revenge, oh yes we will. Midori soaked melons and you won't get one of them, mark my words. Because only Californians would appreciate them. So there! :-P

I haven't had good port in a while. Maybe I'll make it a point to get intercepted when I'm there.

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. Please do!

This is the thanks I get for my Celtic Crossing liqueur? I'm just going to have to take a bottle of old ten-year port, a bottle of decent Pinot Noir and various fruits and juices, and sit by myself in a corner drowning my sorrows in Sangria.

Not that most sorrows last beyond the first couple of glasses of Sangria, but they sometimes come back for a next-morning hangover-slash-curtain-call :-)

[bk2w.livejournal.com]

ooo, Midori soaked melon. mmmmmmm.

So, uh, does my being a CMU person cancel out my being a California native? Do I still get some melon?

[miss-mimsy.livejournal.com]

Good thing you have all those fresh fruits, to go along with your port and decent Pinot Noir. That should make your road to perdition easier.

See, what you should have done instead of offering me small tinctures of celtic crossing liquer, you should have mixed me up some sangria. I probably wouldn't be so bitter then. ;-)

Ah, but that would involve the port, wouldn't it? And yet again, the blantant segregation of the CMUer's is apparent in downtrodding the local, but worthy Californians! See, foul miscreant, your sorrows are of your own making!

Someone better get me drunk soon, because this is getting silly.

[miss-mimsy.livejournal.com]

Well it depends, will you only give certain types of alcohol to CMUer's and not to anybody else (especially very silly local Californians?)

I am sure that if you are a kind and sharing person, we, Californians, would share, regardless of where you graduated from.

If nothing else, midori soaked melon is no fun alone. ;-)

[bk2w.livejournal.com]

Nah. I'm an equal opportunity inebriator.

After all, I have way too much whiskey (and whisky) in my cabinets. And two nice bottles on my kitchen counter (mmm, 10-year Bushmills; mmm, 12-year Macallan).

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

I was about to say "right! A mission!", but then you're busy until Sunday.

And actually, the port I just received and the port that goes into the Sangria are quite different -- forty-year Taylor would make a damn fine Sangria, in the same way that shavings of black truffle probably add a lot to fried spam :-)

Anyway, I'm off to perdition on fruit-greased tracks.

My mother is mailing me the mellon baller. Hopefully I'll have it in time for the trial run this Wednesday. With all the attention these mellon ball mellon balls are getting I'd hate to make a mess of things.

On the other hand, I'm sure I could get someone to help clean me up again. You know, if I asked really nicely.

[queen-elvis.livejournal.com]

As both a visiting CMU person and a native Californian, I think I deserve aged port AND cheap wine!

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. Usually I wouldn't have the cheap wine but just now you're in luck.

[lusty.livejournal.com]

But are you sure you want either from one of those evil polyamorists? >;->
