What time is it over there, now anyway. 2:30am?

Say hi to Borat for me.

Hey Afgahnistan, Iran and Iraq are only a couple of countries away from here - I have Russia to the north and China to the East - the pressure of what could happen is eating me up - I could go crazy over here.

Its 1.30am - I am on night shift - the darkness man the darkness - there could be anything out there - I am telling you I have SEEN things - never get out of the boat.

Oh and Borat is in Vegas right now - but I will let him know you said Hi when he gets back.

Yeah - stuck out here for a month - doing a favour for a friend of mine who was short of a man to cover a drilling project here - when I got here I drew the short straw and here I am on nights, -25C, stuck here with 11 guys - none of whom speak a word of English - its like John Carpenters "The Thing" I keep waiting for one of them to come stumbling in shouting "we have found something in the ice" or with a horeshoe crab stuck to his face.

Man the nights are just flying by - only 7 days and 15 hours to go. And then its

Sounds like Prudhoe, but warmer! You only got six days and a wake-up! Then you'll be able to go blow all that cash!

Well..........another first. Japanese Whisky. My brother-in-law has some interesting booze. He pulled out a bottle of friggin Louis XIII tonight. That's a $1700 bottle of congac! No, I didn't get to drink that. He's been holding out on the bottle for over 20 years.

I did get to drink this, and it wasn't half bad.

Haha! I already put my order in for him to get me that exact one!

But tonight, I'm enjoying some very nice Jamaican Rum and Pepsi.

It's a higher form of rum and coke to you white trash.

A couple weeks ago in a Sushi restaurant in Manhattan, I had some unbelievable 18-yr Jap whiskey (not surprisingly, I can?t recall the name of the whiskey or the restaurant, though the latter was about a mile or two from the Intercontinental/Barclay and was in a big mall with a Borders bookstore. Interestingly, the 12-yr of the same whiskey tasted like crap, but the 18-yr was amazing. As I keep writing, I realize that I am adding nothing to the discussion.

Suntory Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey.

I had a bottle once. It lasted 2 nights.

Good call. I'm gonna get me a bottle tommorrow. It's $150/bottle but worth every drop.
