Is this absinthe August?

[Victoria Waterfield]

I'll gladly pay you gin Tuesday for a Jägermeister today.

I would make that exchange every time.

Also, for some reason the caps to Jägermeister bottles suck. The threads strip out too easily.

It's what-the-fuck, let's-have-a-drink-Friday.

[side_show]

Ah, the Dan Aykroyd Vodka.  I've had that.  It's good. 

I have gin and beer and hard lemonaid at home, and I'm thinking I'd like to check the "all of the above" box on those.

My Thoughts

[jaydub]

Today I'm gonna....Fuck Dan Ackroyd right in the neck.

I was thinking, "Man, Ash has ambitions."

[greenkoolayd]

[greenkoolayd]

He's not a bad guy, it's just that tonight he's going to be giving me some Crystal Head.

if i was into drinking, to own that would be the shit.

[littlefallsmets]

Crystal Head, Herkimer New Yizzie, one town over from where they done grown me.

My Thoughts

Oh, yeah I would never drink something due to Dan Aykroyd's endorsement or anything, or even because it came out of a glass skull.  It was more of a situation related to the man-child I'm married to, shopping for a gift for his mom.  He thought a glass skull full of vodka was cool, so he bought it for his mom.  I'm all "why are you buying this for your mom"  he's all "my mom likes vodka," and I'm all "but does she like crystal skulls?  That is the real question."  "I think it looks cool."  "then buy it for yourself."  Sadly he bought the vodka for her anyway, and he seemed to really think his mom would for some reason think a skull full of vodka was a high quality mom gift.  I got to seem my mother-in-law do that mom-pretends-to-like-gift from child thing.  When we returned on another visit, long after the vodka had been fully consumed, the poor man asked where the skull was.  His mum had done the kind mom thing of keeping it, but storing it out of sight.  "Did you want it?" she asked hopefully.  "No you keep it, I bought it for you."  I'm glad he "selflessly" left it to her and that she discreetly disposed of it later, or else I have an empty glass skull collecting dust somewhere right now.

When it comes to Paul's photo and story, I'm thinking that there was probably a time in the career trajectory of Dan Aykroyd when such security was necessary.  Kind of sad to see that sort of lack of perspective played out.  Also interesting to imagine how somehow a group of people, including both Aykroyd's people and event coordinator types convinced themselves that somehow, an Art Car show was the place to promote vodka in a skull.  That's sort of a WTF situation right there.

There were also, at least two Ghostbusters cars in the parade as well as a Blues Brother mobile.

Also, I wrote that as a fan of Dan Aykroyd.  I like his work for the most part.

Dude thought that he was in Dallas.

[theinevitable]

yeah!

Life is good. Today starts my first week of going into grocery job only 2-3 days a week, and interning for no money 3-4 days a week. Lots of ramen, lots of turning down fun, some amount of pride-swallowing and accepting money from parents. I am glad I am in a situation where this can happen.

My old "good friend" roommate decided out of the blue to move out, so now I have a new roommate. I lived with him last summer, and he is a nice guy. He disappears for several days at a time. Apparently riding your bike to work in 100 degree heat is a good incentive to sleep on couches a lot. Another guy is moving in soon. Our apartment will hopefully not descend into a hellpit of BO and stacks of pizza boxes.

Lately I have been playing Dwarf Fortress so much that my friends think we are not friends anymore. I think about it all day at work (the grocery job, not the internship) and can't think of anything to do but turn it on when I get home. It is so unbelievably awesome and complicated and confusing and frustrating. A few weeks ago I spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to irrigate my fields, and when I finally succeeded I was so proud that I had the urge to call my girlfriend and brag (she would not have been impressed). I do not understand how anyone could look at what this game looks like and not want to play it and understand it, but I guess I am just some kind of weird hipster nerd.

The other day I made the best cheap food ever:
1 full lb bag of lentils
some heavy cream
a can of tomato paste
a can of veggie stock
tons of cumin, turmeric, curry powder, salt, pepper, cayenne
= delicious fake daal. So good. I ate it for lunch at work for almost a week.

I do not understand ... what this game looks like
