Whisky bad

[mamadeb]

Actually, whisky *good*. Especially 18 year old Macallen whisky. Except I don't drink most of the time so I have no tolerance.

I went to TARcon, which is a The Amazing Race finale party in NYC. They had an open bar with wine/beer/soda, and I did take advantage of that for diet Coke (I don't drink beer and I don't drink non-kosher wines), but since I was at a bar and all, I went to the main one and asked if they had any single malt. :) I got a small snifter with what looked like two shots of whisky in it. And nursed it for three hours.

The race itself had a satisfactory ending - the couple most people liked won and the best racers came in second. And it's always fun watching that sort of thing in a crowd so you get caught up in the moment. I left right afterwards, so I missed the celebrities, but that's okay. I did have to work today and I already feel lousy.

I did the right things - I had a cup of soda and a cup of water before leaving and more water plus aspirin and a vitamin pill when I got home, so I don't have a headache or anything, but I feel off and shaky anyway. Didn't help that I woke up practically every hour on the hour to go to the bathroom.

Not good.

I'm so jealous you got to go to TARcon! I've been wanting to go for a long time, but it's just never worked out with timing, money, etc. Plus I don't spend that much time on the TWOP boards, so I'm afraid I might feel like an odd one out. I was in St. Paul for the finale and toyed with going to TARcon North, but ultimately I ended up watching with my parents who had never seen the show. They were very good and did not ask too many questions during the show.

It was fun for what I did. Which was hang out outside the bar (I'm not fond of noise and crowds) with a couple of people and watch with them. And I left right after so I didn't meet anyone.
