HexMachina Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Someone decided it was a good idea to have a drink reception after our firm's charity event. Ah good bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I had an Aperol Spritz for €3. Even in this city, such hasn’t happened in 5 years. The first one was okay, the second and the third only moderately shitty. Then again, that’s still better than having a €6 moderately shitty cocktail.

By saying the words "I'll have an Aperol Spritz." Joke, I'm sure they're good for some but not for me. I worked late tonight to meet a work deadline and have just got home. I'm going to treat myself by opening a bottle of wine* and drifting off to the new Florence album. *A bad idea, probably, I will undoubtedly throw up and have an awful hangover tomorrow but I have no spirits left and didn't have my card when I passed the shop so cheap wine it is.

Joke, I'm sure they're good for some but not for me. I used to feel the same and then something clicked and it became one of my favorite summer drinks knocking Cuba Libre out off the top 5. The ratio and the type of Prosecco really matter. It’s curious to look back on the shift in my taste of booze in my mid-twenties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I opened a bottle of wine and it proved to be necessary. So pat on the shoulder for me in retrospect. I could 100% drink the full bottle but I have work tomorrow. So maybe I’ll switch to gummy candy and self-destruct in a different way.

RhaenysBee Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I really want to invite friends over for wine and cold tapas, but I’m a perfectionist and I feel the need to buy a fancy cutting board and a cheese knife set to make my future charcuterie board ~perfect~ so I’m putting it off until I have the ~perfect~ fancy equipment because I’m a nut case.

A True Kaniggit Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Blah. The last drink was over an hour ago. My alarm goes off in 8 hours. I must needs put myself to sleep with FF7 music. https://youtu.be/eyNhS4ZAAbk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbigski Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 Well, our team rolled again in the summer ultimate beer league. Had a nice hand block too. And they offered $8 PBR pitchers at the bar afterwards. I suspect Klaus Schwab would rather I drank fermented cricket juice, but somehow I'm still living well myself. Just drink them quickly and they're fine. Warm though, not ideal. Of course it scotch at home now. Got to clean out my car because it's 11 years old with 200k miles and the adjuster is going to look at it in the morning after the special lady friend's neighbor backed into it at a surprising high speed for a shared driveway. Really can't decide if I want them to fix it or total it. If they total it, I should get a good price compared to a year ago, but if they fix it, I can keep driving it into the ground while repos and rates go up, and the used or new car market starts to soften. Watched Idiocracy a few weeks ago as SLF hadn't seen it. Seems like we're living in it way ahead of schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the Bushmill's 10? It's around 40 for fifth but has a very nice just slightly fruity finish. Jameson is a fine shot, and at the sippable line, but from what I've had, the protestants do it better for the aged stuff. Though base label I give the slight edge to Jameson over Bushmills. Currently drinking a ranch water. SLF liked the spicy version when we were in Nashville and now I'm just working through the variety pack. The things I do for love...
