Soju - Californian Hard Liquor

The California Report: Cocktails Get a Korean Twist

Interesting segment on NPR last week tells story of how Korean Soju has became popular in many Californian bars, even non-Korean ones. The main reason for this is that CA legislature has passed a bill allowing CA restaurants with beer license (which is MUCH easier to get than a hard-liquor license) to serve Soju, after successful lobby by Korean Restaurant Owners Association.

Personally, I don’t like Soju because I get drunk too quickly. Once on a BBQ table, I drank 2 shot glasses of Soju and became temporarily blind for about 20 seconds!

Office Dares

ONE-POINT OFFICE DARES

  1. Run one lap around the office at top speed.
  2. Groan out loud in the toilet cubicle (at least one other non-player must be in the toilet at the time).
  3. Ignore the first five people who say ‘good morning’ to you.
  4. Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and
    say, Just called to say I can’t talk right now. Bye.”

  5. To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your head.
  6. When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper
    huskily,”Mmmmmmm, that feels soooooo good!”.

  7. Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, “Sorry, I really prefer it this way”.
  8. Walk sideways to the photocopier.
  9. While riding an elevator, gasp dramatically every time the doors open

dohhhh!

My buddies at work and I have started a new blog D’ohhhh on which we will blog about reviews of whatever: gadgets, services, songs, movies, etc… It does not have any meaningful content yet but we plan to make it useful eventually.

dohhhh.com is a sister-site of bahhhh.com which was featured here earlier. Thanks tsl for the “financial backing” (blog hosting) ^^

Anything I review will probably be double-posted here (Hm… I gotta figure out a way to do that automatically).

Sondre Lerche

Sondre Lerche IMO is the best singer coming from Norway since A-ha ^^=b Too bad talented artists like this don’t get much airplay :-/

This is from his earlier album, but the new album “Two Way Monologue” is great too.
