I've been high and dry for a few months now.  It is nice.

Congratulations on being dry.  May I offer a toast?

I have resolved both to drink less at one time, and to learn to appreciate whiskey.

Maybe not great co-resolutions.

Yeah here's to drinking less at one time. I've been drinking less often the last few months but more heavily when I do drink so the frequency of me waking up with a 'oh shit what did I do' feeling has increased a lot. It's not like it's something I'm doing every week or anything but I hate that feeling enough that commiting myself to learning when to say 'nope, it's time for water for a round or two' seems like a sensible idea.

Yeah, the old feeling of waking up excited to know all of the crazy shit you did the night before is turning more and more into a feeling of dread these days. Zero to blackout in two hours does not really help with the whole 'win friends and influence people' thing.

My brother's medical problems preclude his drinking and so I think I've drank... twice?... since his first seizure.

I don't want to drink in his presence and make the fact that he can't anymore feel worse for him.

This has been one of the good things about his issues, I guess, he isn't drinking a bottle of wine a night anymore.

Over new year's I got so drunk that... I think that what I used to think was drunk is not drunk.

I alternate between thinking this is good, and horrible.


Today, I bought books for classes. Later I might play scrabble with the girl across the street.
she said she is really bad, but I heard a rumor that she is actually incredible.
I do not know what it means if a girl lies about how good she is at scrabble. what makes a girl lie about how good she is at scrabble?

Either she thinks that intelligence in women scares people off or she likes the thrill of sharking people in Scrabble.

Lots of people like to hide one or two things they're good at so that they can mess with people in certain rare situations.

It's because we all watch too much television and love when that happens on teevee.

For me? Rapping. It is not that I am a great rapper by any means but so much better than I should be by my appearance.

Really?  Women actually pretend to be stupid to get the guy?  I thought that only went on in sitcoms and bad romantic comedies.

man, it would make me so sad if that was what was going on.

actually now that I have thought about it, actually what happened in that conversation is that I said I was really bad at it, and she was like "oh, yeah... scrabble is tough" or something.

That game is really frustrating to me. Because it seems like something I should be good at, but it is about so much more than how many words you know.

all of my friends are ridiculously good. is the issue.

Actually it's mostly about how many two-letter words you know.

From the scrabble players I know that is code.
The code means: 'I am going to own your ass.'

The way people kind of talk down how good they are at a thing but simultaneously admit the thing is tough so you don't feel bad when they totally outclass you. 'Oh man 900 to 20, well... Scrabble is tough.'

my friends get many times my score, and do not understand why. "daniel, you're supposed to put down the best word possible. is that really the best word you see? six points?"

And you lose another shot at flirting because you're afraid of the pretext.

While your roommates work closer to figuring out a little rack management of their own.
