  <title>eh...</title>
  <link>http://bad-candy-ben.livejournal.com/83007.html</link>
  <description>Lately I&apos;ve been feeling like I don&apos;t fit in with the cool people anymore.&lt;br /&gt;Take for instance the new Batman movie.  Everyone seems to think it was great, an amazing movie.&lt;br /&gt;I thought it was ok.  Batman was kinda a puss in my opinion.&lt;br /&gt;Heath Ledger was pretty damn awesome as the Joker.  That I do agree with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The movie was good, not great and way to long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ll watch it again when it&apos;s released on Blu-ray maybe I&apos;ll like it better the 2nd time.</description>

  <title>Great weekend.</title>
  <link>http://bad-candy-ben.livejournal.com/82368.html</link>
  <description>Thanks to Penance and Becci for a fun RtB&apos;s pre/post-load.  Goodtimes were had.  Even though a spent way more money than usual at Bats.  Not sure how, but certain booze were involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also big thanks to Kyle for the GOG&apos;s party!  ALways something I look forward too.  Had a great time and stumbled home sometime around 6am.  After pulling of the freeway and sleeping an hour in my car per the norm.</description>

  <link>http://bad-candy-ben.livejournal.com/81447.html</link>
  <description>I just wanted to say thanks to Penance and Becci for the hospitality shown at the pre-load/post load on Friday.  It was a great time like usual.  The only club/night I really look forward to.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, as an immigrant, I&apos;ll get back to work.</description>

  <title>Again...</title>
  <link>http://bad-candy-ben.livejournal.com/81328.html</link>
  <description>So in less than a year and a half I have been rear-ended twice.  First car destroyed, 2nd new car, only 7 months old, will probably require two new bumpers.  Apparently there are no English speaking people driving in California anymore.  So on top of my regular bills I need to come up with the $500 deductible.  Yay.  So I guess I&apos;ll be staying home for awhile.  The upside from staying home, I&apos;ll have a kick ass World of Warcraft Rogue. [/nerd]</description>

  <title>Junk and stuff...</title>
  <link>http://bad-candy-ben.livejournal.com/79157.html</link>
  <description>So Babyland were pretty rad at Bar Sinister on Sat.  I got pretty hammered on 3 drinks.  I think it was 3.  Anyway they hit me hard and fast.  I only remember bits and pieaces of the rest of the night.  Anyway being to drunk to drive home it was decided I should crash at a motel.  The Royal Hawaiian to be correct.  $40 a night with a $5 deposit and a big sign out front that said &quot;Prostitution Strictly Forbidden&quot;  Awesome!  The room was tiny with mirrors strategically placed for maximum viewing of the hooker you&apos;re obviously having sex with.  Classy!  I sobered up quickly and took off, but not before getting my $5 deposit back.  I love random adventures even if does involve a whore infested motel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So also at Bar Sinister I remember hearing that the Birthday Massacre was playing on New Years Eve.  I wouldn&apos;t mind checking them out but don&apos;t really want to spend NYE at Bas Sinister.  So I find out today the tickets for that night are $50 pre-sale and $60 at the door!!!!  Have they gone insane?  I hope no one shows up to teach them a lesson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&apos;s it for now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Word.</description>

  <title>Thanksgiving and stuff.</title>
  <link>http://bad-candy-ben.livejournal.com/78883.html</link>
  <description>So over Thanksgiving I went to Vegas.  Left a little after midnight on Wednesday to avoid traffic.  It worked.  Arrived at the Mirage at 5am.  Check in time is 1pm. :(  Wondered around and played a few games.  On a whim I checked at the front desk and they checked us in at 10:30. Score.  The Mirage is pretty nice.  We stayed in the Deluxe Tower in the remodeled rooms.  Strip view and stuff.  All and all very nice.  Went to a couple clubs which sucked and are super expensive.  The cheapest club was at the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay, it was an 80&apos;s club and the Spazzmatics played.  They were pretty funny.  The dolphin habitat is well worth $9&apos;s to see.  Star Trek at $36 isn&apos;t.  Checked out some strip clubs...of course. Cheetahs was recommended and sadly was horrible.  We left after counting no less than 3 pregnant strippers.  Something about a girl being pregnant, in a smoky room, drinking, and stripping, not such a turn on.  Left Monday morning and got home in a little over 4 hours.  It was a goodtime although I spent way more than intended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those taking bets, I&apos;m still single and not married.  Carry on.</description>

  <description>Well my friends I am off to Vegas until Monday.  Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!  I have to admit I&apos;m sad I&apos;ll miss RtB&apos;s of Friday.  I love that night.  Anyway have a drink for me and I&apos;ll catch you all on the flip side.</description>

  <title>Vodka</title>
  <link>http://bad-candy-ben.livejournal.com/78284.html</link>
  <description>So a strange thing happened at Bar Sinister last week.  I show up and someone bought me a drink, a Kettle One and 7-Up my usual.  So I take a sip and it tastes horrible.  Since I didn&apos;t buy the drink I didn’t want to say anything thinking perhaps I didn&apos;t get Kettle One but Popov instead.  Also I had a bit of a cold so I thought maybe my taste was off.  So half way through the drink I just couldn&apos;t take it and put it down, it was that bad.  So drink less someone else bought me a drink from my bartender and another Kettle One and 7-Up.  Again, it tasted horrible.  So I had someone else taste it, they agreed horrible.  So I wonder outside the other bar sit the full drink down and order another Kettle One and 7-Up.  This one tasted right although not as strong as my usual bartender.  So now I&apos;m thinking Bar Sinister is mixing vodkas or something.  So I buy drink number 3 from my regular bartender with the intention of telling him what was up.  He makes it, and bam!  Takes like shit.  So I call him over and explain what&apos;s going on.  So he does the finger over the straw thing to take a sample of my drink and makes a sour face when he tastes it.  He gets the Kettle One bottle and pours a shot and tastes that.  Same reaction.  He then goes and finds another bottle of Kettle One, this one still sealed.  Cracks the seal, pours a shot, takes a hit, and gags.  Goes over to the other bartender and tells him to take a swig, the guy almost spits it out all over the bar and said something like &quot;What the fuck?!?&quot;  So yeah two really bad bottles of Kettle One.  I&apos;ve never heard of bad batches of vodka.  I&apos;d be pretty bummed if I dropped $30 on a bottle and tasted like crap.  I ended up with Grey Goose and 7-Up which ok with me.</description>
