By God, that's a good Gin...

"Hendrick’s is an iconoclastically produced small batch gin distilled in Ayrshire, Scotland. Our unusual distillation process combined with our oddly delicious set of infusions yields a one-of-a-kind gin that is passionately loved by a tiny yet growing handful of individuals all over the world. No other gin tastes like it because no other gin is made like it."

Two thumbs up, gladly would I give it more praise, had I but more thumbs.

Read about it here, and buy it there.

Ciao, beautiful peeps. :-) Regards, Mark

Interesting Days Ahead...

Ah, the fun and games that is inherent to the Merger & Acquisition process has begun. I cannot of course comment on anything substantive (assuming that I was privy to anything substantive in the first place), but it is interesting that the faint screams of anguish that are beggining to be heard. If one reads some of the background materials written by the Designated Buyer, then one would expect short thrift if one was in R&D and QA.

From the sales perspective, this could actually be a good thing. There is a certain director who drives a porsche that is overdue for a good metaphorical boot to the head...

In other news... I finally will be doing my first-ever underwater model photoshoot on Saturday, yay! It took a bit to pull it together! The hardest part was to find someone that had a swimming pool that I could use. There are not a lot of private pools in Toronto proper! And so, I end up in freakin' Unionville of all places... ah well, I have one model and one Makeup Artist (MUA) involved... it should be a great time... a great experiment, anyways. :-)

If this works out, I'm going to be doing at least a couple more underwater shoots... I know some of my non-professional-model friends have expressed some interest in participating as well. We'll get you wet, don't worry. :-)

And, no Shane, I am NOT posting nekkid pictures of the model (it's not that kind of photoshoot, sorry). Well, maybe some with artistically draped sheer-cloth... ala Howard Schatz.

Ciao, peeps.

OMFG...

The air-conditioning isn't working and I'm on the top (third) floor... *melts*

I'm being punished for something, I suspect...

Where's the Kaboom?

There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!

Oh. There it is.

Must start learning hindi I guess...

Ciao, peeps. Off to polish the Go To Hell plan...

Imp;)

US-CA-Santa Barbara-Organ Courier - Powered by Monster

Wow. I bet it pays decent coin... ;-)

US-CA-Santa Barbara-Organ Courier - Powered by Monster: "The successful applicant will combine not only a working knowledge of tissue-transplantation procedures and the latest pharmaceutical agents involved in this growing field, but also an ability for high-speed travel, diplomacy and an extensive knowledge of transit restrictions and regulations as well as traffic laws around the world. Fluency in at least five languages including French, German, Russian and Chinese is crucial - as is a willingness to achieve fluency in sub-saharan regional and tribal dialects. Knowledge of martial arts, self-defense and extensive weapons training is essential, but applicants willing to receive training in these areas will receive due consideration."

Thanx for the tip, Sheena.

this week...

Oh oh.

I am seriously thinking I need one of these things... if for no other reason than drive the cat insane.

Mwah ha ha ha ha.

Victoria Day Long Weekend...

*sigh*

Models can be a little irritating to work with, when they don't show up for their scheduled shoots. I think I need to rent a studio again, and schedule two + just to ensure that one shows up for the shoot! Apparently, it's a bit of a problem in the industry, go figure... so there goes today's plan. Ah well, the weather sucked anyways.

Last night was a reasonably decent time... went to the launch/pre-order party for U & I Mag, a 'local' photography magazine. I have my first ever published article inside the new edition... I'll post some captures once I get my copy from Taku, but I thought it totally rocked. :-)

After that, we absconded to a house party... which was somewhat forgetable (sorry Jen, if you read this). The usual house party... the ratio of guys to girls was sadly out of whack. *shrugs* Chatted with some Aussies and Brits and then went home to catch some zzz's. Someone was handing around bottles of Maudite *shudder*...

I wonder if there is anything going on tonight? It's a long weekend, after all...

Off to find brunch I think... ciao, peeps.
