Rum and a meme

[therumjournals]

Found a place in Philly to drink my all-time favorite rum - One Barrel Rum from Belize. You can't find it in any liquor stores, and it's DELICIOUS. But I discovered a bar not too far from us called, fittingly, Rum Bar, and a rum and coke with One Barrel costs...$4!!!! OMG. And it's still as delicious as I remembered it from 2+ years ago! So, needless to say, I will be going there every night from now on.

Just had to share that exciting news!

And now I'm finally giving in to the memeage, because I'm craving some LJ interaction - even though I won't be able to answer until tomorrow after work. I was supposed to go camping this weekend, but we decided not to because of the puppy, so I need to entertain myself (and yes, I will be working on some fic instead - next week is a BIG WEEK, people!)

Anyway - Ask me my Top Five Whatevers. Fannish or literary or otherwise. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! Fandoms, ice cream flavours, cartoon moments, women/men in my fandoms, OTPs, ideal holiday destinations, goals for the future, celebrity crushes, books I wish would be made into movies, love songs. And I will answer them all in comments.

Sooooo moral of the story is we all need to go to Rum Bar. :)

Top five places to just chillax in Philly (because I need some ideas!)

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

YES WE DO! WE SO SO DO!

Okay, by chillax do you mean, like, hang out, or do you mean drink? You must mean drink. ;-) Okay, here's a combination of both:
- Rittenhouse Square (not a bar)
- The Dive bar (on Passyunk)
- "Fuego" (the bar above Abyssinia in West Philly)
- the Schuylkill River Walk (not a bar)
- Movie Mondays at the Troc
- honorable mentions (because you already know about them): Tavern on Camac, Sugar Moms

You know, your journal is surprisingly light on the rum, all things considered. ;o)

Top 5 things you do when you want to spoil yourself!

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

it's true. i go through phases. i'm on a beer kick right now, but maybe that will change...

okay, let's see...
- write fic (seriously)
- read fic (okay, this is going to get boring...)
- take a bath
- sit outside
- get a frappucino
(PS - those last three can by done while reading an actual book, which is an added bonus!)

Top five songs that help you write :)

(

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

i honestly can't answer this one, because i rarely listen to music while i write. i often get inspired by songs and write fic based off of them, but the process is very random, and i'll listen to a song over and over for a month until i get the fic out of my system, then i won't listen to it again for a long time. that said, i will say: Lady Gaga = Pinto forever, especially Bad Romance. And this band called Freelance Whales that's really chill, so I can listen to it and not get too distracted.

Top 5 TV Series...of my LIFE

Star Trek - The Next Generation
Beverly Hills, 90210
X-Files
Buffy
House

and Firefly, but it was only one season so i left it off. And Voyager, but i figured i should only put one Star Trek on there. Also Angel. Also Lost but I kinda stopped watching at the end. Also Glee. Also this is only dramas, not sitcoms. That's a whole different kettle of hilarious fish.
