still my favourite bar

I went to Messrs Maguire last night for the first time in ages. Seamus was on the bar, greeted me like a long lost friend, and comped me a half glass of IPA so I could try it (it's their limited run "seasonal brew" for this, er, season). Man, that was nice. Spent the rest of the night chatting with friends and drinking IPA (it was yummy. I could not resist it.) and feeling a little sad that once-common nights out like this one are now few and far between. Still, much fun.

oh yeah

Reign of Fire is a mostly excellent movie. I say "mostly" because they have, for some reason, put in some rah-rah-America-saves-the-day dialogue that really doesn't have any excuse to be there.

The dragons, though, are very, very pretty.
