Remind me to tell you of the time my brother was boasting of his single-malt purchases...

Not a single malt expert at all. Was not my favorite, something in there that didn't appeal to me. Having a bit of my got go, Glenfiddich tonight.

Steak and etc. An unusual whiskey on the rocks for me. Not unusual whiskey - it's Jack Black that was given to me at Christmas time. It's unusual for me to have a whiskey.

The TV is on in the next room, Big Bang Theory is on, but I'm not watching. The dog has been carrying around a piece of steak I gave him and growling at imaginary steak thieves. TJ is absorbed in scrolling DU.

It's not very exciting here. It's alternating between pouring rain and rain outside and I feel the couch and a blanket calling.

Interesting and very complex mix of Blade Runner, The Matrix and a violent film noir with a heavy dose of cyberpunk.
