What are you drinking?

[Swatopluk]

I recently watched a movie where (involuntary) time travellers had to turn a ginseng smuggler into the needed national hero.
Good movie despite that.

More blackberry tea.

[goat starer]

more becks... it si prabably not helping!

[Aggie]

It's certainly not helping your typing.

Swato:  Where was it set?

Korea
There is quite a number of good movies coming from there these days but they share the East Asian defective humor gene (i.e. they would consider custard pie oversophisticated)

Heh, was assuming/hoping as much...  Korean ginseng is and was historically very highly regarded.

And agree on humour...  although there's some fairly funny slapstick here and there if you don't mind a little cheese (My Wife is Gangster, for example).  Hmm... it's either Korean movies in general or just m'lady's tastes, but I have noticed a recurring theme of violence against men by women in Korean comedy (MWiG, My Sassy Girl). 

Have you taken a run at Dae Jang Geum (TV drama) yet?



Another breakfast of smoothie & Vn. coffee....  (out of filters, so I am stuck with this style).

Usually I don't know them by the original title but by the international one e.g. Once Upon a Time in a Battlefleld instead of Hwangsanbul.

What I observe is a general brutality of the "survivors, we don't need no stinkin' survivors" kind, a tendency towards very strong pathos and a very strong nationalism/xenophobia (but with a remarkable absence of North/South emnity).
But I guess the (subtitled) DVD availability acts as a strong filter, so I can't say what the "average" Korean flick looks like.

I'd like to see a complete affordable edition (and with subtitles that don't start to increasingly lag behind as in the 3 hour version available here) of Undercover Police Woman (TV series).

In order not to be completely off topic: tea in the morning, orange juice when arriving at the Uni, since then carbonated mineral water. Likely more tea in the evening plus coke (ALDI brand, not Coca Cola or Pepsi) and bitter lemon.

I notice.
Drinking plan still unchanged

[anthrobabe]

coke zero
it is crack-- is "carbonated water" really Yiddish for crack or something-
seriously

[Aggie]

I have strong suspicions regarding artificial sweeteners and addiction...  but given that I've developed quite a habit of drinking plain soda water, you may have a point. 

[anthrobabe]

I have read some articles about artificial sweetners myself that are disturbing- I suppose like most anything we consume that time will tell. I don't really get headaches it more of a craving for soda and the last couple of months it is Coke Zero--- not regular diet or cherry diet or any other diet but Zero. It used to be diet Mt. Dew so I just think I get fixated on something and wear it out.

Another habit(but Oh my what a wonderful one!) my sister in law is visiting and cooking and last night I got home to a crock-pot full of carne seca, falling apart and wonderfully chili-peppered up(yes I fall off the vegetarian wagon when she is around and it is just fine)- it was so good with warm homemade tortillas(yes she makes them) that I almost could not quit- just roll up the beef with a little lime juice and cabbage in the tortillas and mmmmmmmmmm

[Aggie]

OH YUMMY! 

Hey, if you kicked Mountain Dew, you are ahead of the game.  Brominated Vegetable Oils are on my 'pour it down the sink' list.  I have a can of diet root beer that appeared in the fridge that I might drink eventually, but only if I've had enough ethanol to overwhelm my oxidases and prevent the methanol (breakdown product of aspartame) from being transformed into formaldehyde.

Not surprisingly, I'm drinking coffee.

Surprisingly, it's organic.     And Ethiopian.  And Fair Trade certified, according to the label.

Those Ethiopians make one tasty Yergacheffe.
