I’m posting my comment here for your reading convenience:
Hi! Yes, absinthe can be sold legally in the UK. That’s where a lot of transactions for US customers are processed. I found this web site that claims to have the best possible version but it’s 58 pounds/bottle so I’m a little hesitant to buy it, plus I’d have to get the spoons, glasses, sugar cubes. I am seriously considering it. They even have a short video of Johnny Depp doing the abythinse ritual. http://www.seborabsinth.com Did you actually try this stuff? How does it taste? The New Yorker ran a big (positive!) article about it recently.
Oh, I remember the chocolate egg thingy…soo good…but I have not seen the same one in the US.
Yes, I’ve seen the xxxHolic episodes but I could not find the ones with the English subtitles, only Chinese! Very annoying. I like the opening song. It’s stuck in my head now…
I began studying actively for LSAT and registered for the June test. Now I am swamped with homework. :P
How’s your job search?
I haven’t tried absinthe myself, but my friends have. I don’t remember what they said it was like, but I can imagine that being ~60% alcohol, that it doesn’t taste very nice, even with the sugar.
There are english subtitles up there if you search for xxxholic, you just have to scroll down a bit to find them.
I like the opening song too! I downloaded the whole song from here.
The job search is going ok. I’ve applied to a fair number of jobs, but haven’t been asked to any interviews yet. Good luck with your studying, yay for homework!
