I dreamt about work. *blinks* Yeah. That's just weird. ( Dream )

Mum came in and talked to me about stuff. Conversation at 6.15am? Not good. The fact that she brought me cereal when I asked? Totally good. *beams*

ETA: I'm watching CSI: Miami each week because Mum likes the show, she also likes Horatio, and Ms. Proctor's accent just kills me (in the good way). Anyway, I need to remember that next week's ep has Ian Somerhalder. Ooooh!

For phoebesmum

The official (American) Jaegermeister site.

"Imported from Germany, Jägermeister is made with 56 herbs and spices and is available in the 50ml, 100ml, 200ml, 375ml, 750ml, 1 liter, and the new 1.75 liter size."

It has a funky green bottle and it's highly alcoholic. ("Jägermeister Liqueur 35% Alc./Vol." which is 70 proof for people who don't go by the Alcohol percentage)

According to Webtender:
"Jägermeister ("hunt master") is a German bitter liqueur that is a complex blend of 56 herbs, fruits and spices. It should be served icy cold to tame its assertive herbal flavor."

Basically, if you're doing Jaegermeister shots, expect to get really damn drunk. The connection to Sports Night comes from "Thespis" and Dan and Casey bickering over the anniversary:

Casey: Jeez, Danny, that night in Minneapolis with the Jaegermeister, we didn't do anything untoward, did we?

Dan: You mean did we get married?

Casey: Yeah.

Dan: No.

Casey: (getting up and going backstage) Good.

Dan: (following) You recited the St. Crispin's Day speech from the lobby of the St. Paul Radisson.

Casey: (examining himself in the mirror) Well, was it untoward?

Dan: No, it was just embarrassing.


ETA: However, Jaegermeister isn't as bad as Yellow Chartreuse - 43.0%/86 proof - which celli may remember being given to Rebecca in Little City. No wonder she said it tasted like perfume.

Eurgh.

Just realised the sign we ordered was incorrect. Eurgh. Damn it. One teeny, tiny little line that I didn't notice. *hangs head in shame*

Somebody shoot me now. (Preferably in the foot so I could go home, and would still have the ability to type. *g*)

I was a good worker for all of... 1 day. Man, I suck. *sighs*

Okay, I need to stop stuffing around, just because I want to sit here and write fic, and get myself working again.

While I do, I might as well post my lunchtime entry which seems to refuse to show up.

Lunchtime. It looks windy outside, but I think I'm going to go out and enjoy the sunshine...

Random fact I thought you should know: Only alcohol I drink straight is Midori. Now, a strong Midori and milk is my favourite drink ever (although I also like those vodka mixers too), but Midori is the only one I've ever drank straight and wanted another glass.

Compared to Jaegermeister, it's a chick's drink, but it's still 21% (42 proof) so I think that's kinda impressive. Plus, it's a great mixer. Milk, lemonade, pineapple juice; all three are *great* with Midori. And, it's really easy to mix with other spirits, and it has a delightfully sweet taste.

If I have a get together for my birthday, I want bottles of Midori. *nods*

Hey, they even have an official site. It's so *green*. It should be the official alcoholic drink for SV (you know, it's possible I'd enjoy the storylines more if I was a little wasted while watching them. *g*)

...Oh man, I have such an urge for a drink of Midori now.

Oh, yeah, sunshine.

I totally did go out into the sunshine.

Ivy League

Last minute thought: Could some helpful Americans explain the concept of Ivy league colleges?

I'm curious about it, but actually don't have a lot of information. I get that they're the most expensive/impressive schools to attend, but that's a really broad/vague description. So...

-Which colleges are they?
-Why are they 'Ivy league' (where did the term come from)?
-What are the advantages/disadvantages of them?
-What's the cost?

Some of my favourite scenes are the ones that never made it to air:

CASEY: What's goin' on?

DAN: Jeremy's gonna face his fear.

CASEY: Yeah?

DAN: I think we should watch.

CASEY: You know, among the many unhappy by-products of Sam Donovan's arrival, is that it's taken attention from the serious problem I'm having with Dana.

DAN: The dating plan.

CASEY: The dating plan.

DAN: Casey, don't kill for this, but I gotta say something.

CASEY: What.

DAN: I'm not quite seeing the problem.

CASEY: You're not quite seeing the problem?

DAN: No.

CASEY: After 15 years of dancing around each other, Dana and I are poised to start a relationship, only she decides that due to what she perceives as a limited experience with women, she's requiring me to date other people for six months before I can date her.

DAN: Okay. Dude. First of all, it's not just what Dana would perceive as a limited experience with women, it's what pretty much any jury of reasonable people would perceive to be a limited--

CASEY: So I got married young. I married my college sweetheart. That doesn't make me Okey from Fanokey.

DAN: No it doesn't, but using the expression Okey from Fanokey sure does the trick.

CASEY: I'm in pain here. I'm in anguish.

DAN: A woman you have strong feelings for, you get to work with, side by side, for twelve hours a day, six days a week. She has told you, after a decade and a half, that she's interested in a romantic relationship with you, but that she wants you to date other women. She's requiring you to date other women. To be with them on dates with their perfume and their nice shoes while they try and be as interesting to you as possible.
Because you are a television star, these women, very likely, will not be from the bargain basement. And because these women won't know you very well, there might just be an opportunity for you to have sex. Now I grant you, somewhere, somehow, Dana has obviously lost several of her marbles, but I don't think that should stop you from gettin' busy.

CASEY: I want Dana. I don't want a series of meaningless relationships with women who want to sleep with me because I'm
on television.

DAN: (PAUSE) I don't follow you.

CASEY: Danny--

DAN: I'm just saying--

CASEY: We got bigger problems.

DAN: I know.

CASEY: Shouldn't we be talkin' about them?

DAN: Let's just write, okay?

CASEY: Yeah.
