bests & worsts

Worst seminar so far: if we're all going to slave (or sleep) through a 540-page tome by conrad, the professor BETTA have some good things to say about it, or to enlighten us as to why she did that to us. Well, neither were fulfilled, and so a bunch of us went to a lovely pub on a nearby corner and drank sweet sweet delicious Guinness for 5 hours, only moving to order fish & chips, and the worst attempt at mac & cheese ever.

Also, any country where the mass population begins drinking at 4pm and doesn't stop until close is allright by me. That's why all the pubs close here at 11pm, everyone's been getting pissed since the moment their work was finished. Happy hour extends wayyy past the American allotted 5-6pm slot.

And for those of you that find Guinness too bitter to enjoy, ask them to add a spot of blackcurrant to it. It's the most delicious drink I've ever had, I'm obsessed with it, I want to have its babies. Seriously. That good.

(google image search response to "guinness with blackcurrant." i do not know these people. i forgot to take a photo of it to pictorally enhance this blog entry myself.)

You might also want to try a black velvet, or failing that a snakebite and black.

Careful with the snakebites though, most Americans can't handle many of them before falling over.
