More Wine

Meet Justin, a 2014 cabernet I ran into on a brief holiday. Way better than my usual go-to wines (notice the lack of a screw off cap). Read More

What to drive

1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am — The view looks like this, except with infinity more completely disinterested hot college girls

or rather do the crow’s nest in, from the back seat, as Pod eases through a sea of drunk Greek assholes and wenches. Then later, get out among your people and cop some feels.

Joey Wang: I gotta stop drinking with Ray. Too.

1998 Town Car — Uber is not all it’s cracked up to be.

Saturday Night is a Great Night for night two of a weekend bar crawl. It has to be better than Friday in Scottsdale with its lookalike clubs, bar-rescued overpriced theme bars and packs of hot but insipid ASU chicks. Plenty of milf-y Scottsdale goodness showing off their silicone, too, but they’re all paired up. Their dudes are eager to show off the handiwork and stake their claim by mashing while you do your demoralized shuffle past the minivan hormone showcase.

So Saturday, aim lower. Some place with Earth-based beer prices. Some place unfamiliar with artisanal ice. In four words

Monkey Pants: Dark. Try the Cheese.

Yucca Tap Room: Too fucking many hipsters.

Uncle Monkey: pandemographic crowd; well-lit dive

On deck the next time there’s a night off? The Goathead Saloon.

Skyfall (2012)

In 4 words: Khan Hannibal Joker 2

Skyfall is the third Daniel Craig Bond movie. (And only the second if one ignores Quantum of Stupid (2009).like one should do with the two Dalton movies.)

Bad guy plots revenge. Bad guy has unnatural luck/genius pre-planning and improvisation. Just when you think you’ve caught him for reals, you’ve fallen right into his trap for you. Cops/redshirts are going to die. Sometimes, important people.

I loved this movie, just like the 10 previous times i saw it.

(Definitely better when sober)
