MAY I HAVE A BLACK RUSSIAN?

I woke up this morning to the sounds of Turin and the Winter Olympics. The American Women's Curling Team were in action against the dreaded Russian squad. Now if you've been following my posts the last few days, then you will know that I have developed a healthy fascination for the sport of Curling and the hot chicks that seem to dominate the sport; not only from our team, but from almost every team in competition (sans the British squad; what they have in talent, they sorely lack in looks). Even as my beloved U.S. team languish in last place, they are still fun to watch.


So this morning I again, find myself transfixed on the match when I see something that threw me for a loop. This stunning young lady from the Russian squad gears up to toss her stone. As she goes through the motions (shuffle of the feet, then that stretched out slide that they do before releasing the stone), it dawns on me that there's something different about this chick. Then it hits me: She's black! I stared at the tv for another few minutes, just to make sure I wasn't seeing things and lo and behold: A Black Russian. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. I'll have to do some research to find out the scoop on her. Is she a natural-born Russian? Did she emirgrate from someplace else? In any case, she was hot, that's for damn sure. *NOTE TO SELF: Get the scoop ASAP.

Last night was a pretty easygoing night for yours truly at the bar. We had a pretty good happy hour, highlighted by the group of hardcore NASCAR fans watching the Daytona 500 Qualifying in the afternoon; there were also a nice large contingent of people from South Carolina, in town for a weekend wedding.

We also got a visit from the DON himself, as he decided to take in a quick pint of GUINNESS and talk shop with H.B.E. MR. LOW-KEY just happened to be in the neighborhood and popped in for a few and took in a quick chat with the DON and H.B.E. AMERICAN PSYCHO made a late appearance, as well as LITTLE BRITAIN, who is winding down his time here in the States (he returns to England this weekend). We chatted up a bit and made tentative plans to hang out once more before he leaves. He will be missed- a really good guy.

I am typing this up on my friend MUSHEER's laptop. He is another person who keeps pushing me to convert to laptop, so he loaned me his to try out and get a feel for. Of course, I didn't know how to connect the damn wireless feature of the laptop- finding out that we have a secure wireless connection and I don't know the network key. D'uh. The keyboard feels really weird on my fingers and to be honest, i'm not sure if i'm feeling the whole laptop thing at all. I'll give it a couple of days before making my decision.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: If the situation ever presented itself, would you ever get involved in an office romance? DISCUSS...

WEEKEND HAPPENINGS:

FRIDAY: Happy Hour (5pm-9pm), $3 Domestic Drafts/ $5 Cosmos, Appletinis and Margaritas.

SATURDAY: "Kick the KEG" Saturday (12pm-8pm), $2 mugs, all beers on TAP (until the KEG kicks!).

That's it for now. As always, feedback is always welcomed!
