nothing

as some of you may know, one of my favorite things to do on sundays is drink coffee and spend the afternoon doing nothing....and then of course link you to things i deem important or amusing.

so here it is, the newest installment of nothing.


Arrested Development.
why is it that i always discover wonderful things after they've come to an end. arrested development seasons 1 and 2 consumed my life for one wonderful weekend. but the show was cancelled. WHY did i wait to watch it until after it was cancelled. for shame karen.

if you have not yet seen this wonderful show go out and rent the first season. its very worth it.

david cross as tobias is BRILLIANT!
here is a link to a youtube of him ranting about the cancellation of the show. click me!

moving on, is anyone else bothered by the mac/pc commercials? if so check out this from best week ever.

and finally, i'll close with new york's most expensive cocktail.

it is called the Duvet Platinum Passion and costs $1500.00 a glass.

the details.
"Created by Duvet’s head mixologist Brendan, the Platinum Passion is a creative take on the classic French 75. It is neither for the faint of liver nor the faint of wallet. The exclusive L’ésprit de Courvoisier (approx. $6,000/bottle), the essential heart of the drink, contains a blend of the rarest, oldest and finest cognacs dating as far back as the day of Napoleon. Albeit, one of his better days.

After being mixed with Brendan’s special syrup - an infusion of passion fruit blended with imported Australian wettle, forest berries and wild flower honey, which he simmers for two days in brown sugar before it is chilled and strained - the drink is polished off with the smooth, buttery taste of the world-renowned Ruinart champagne.

As you may or may not know, Ruinart is the world’s oldest champagne producer and is only imported by the case ($20,000 per case).

According to Duvet, the true virtue of the drink lies in the force of delicate flavors, such as old port wine, coffee beans, and the smoke of a fine cigar that combine with dense sweet fragrances like hot fruit cakes with cinnamon, dry apricot and honey to create a very rich, complex, yet fresh and well matured taste. The drink is served in a frosted champagne flute and garnished with a flawless white orchid. "

my favorite part:

"Since its Valentine’s Day introduction in 2005, only 4 have been purchased (and assuredly enjoyed)."

anyone wanna buy me one? :)

Bring it to Japan. They adore absurdly expensive food. There's an ice cream place in Tokyo that sells a $100+ sundae and there is often a line to get in.

My boyfriend and I used to watch Arrested Development. I bought him Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD. That show was funny as hell! I can't believe they canceled it!
