Open Bar MMXIV^2: Solace of Quantum

[East Coast Hustle]

Indeed. If I had tried to navigate my recent rough patch while still drinking like I did when I was on the ship, well, I'd probably be pretty well fucked.

Now I'm just mostly fucked! THANKS ALOT OBAMA!

Bad IBS flare continues.

I went to meet up with Luna, Richter, and Leln at Dimo's concert this afternoon, and I couldn't keep water down. I am now fine after a cup of ginger tea, a bottle of Diet Coke, and snacking on peanuts and pickles. I think I needed the salt. It's sometimes difficult to get the needed electrolytes on this diet, so I think I need to look into supplements so this doesn't happen again.

In the office I've been at for a year there was a goldfish. It lasted the whole year, right until I signed the bill of sale and took over the lease.

Then it died. This is not the first living thing to behave like that in my presence.

Have you ever considered the possibility that you actually are the Angel of Death?

Alty, things die when you harvest them for blood-ink to sign devil-treaties, don't be playing innocent!

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

Dang, Alty. Might want to hold off on signing any more forms . . .

I'm speaking from experience, BTW.

As a mother?

Yes.

I'm sorry...you should get that checked.
...Most living things somehow understand that I will FEED them and they come up to me and look pitiful until they are proven right.

Except for the injured wildlife, who generally attack me.

Breaking news: just because you were a Marine, it does not mean you know anything about Italian history or culture.  Also, a double Bloody Mary for breakfast is not a good idea.  Note America: this is why Bin Laden hated you guys.

Anyway, off to Florence today, so I don't care.  Tuscan red wine is also strongly contributing to my ability to not give a fuck.

I thought it was because we had American female soldiers defending the men of Saudi Arabia.
I remember reading that somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can pull up a reference.

Surprisingly enough, I did not wake up with a hangover today, despite drinking beer, wine, and tequila.  I don't know if this means I've found a way to not go over my tipping (tippling?) point, or if it means I've achieved Sot Level: Master.

Am making sure to spend a little time each day learning a new skill relating to software/website development.

Instead of Android dev as scheduled, tonight I learned the basics of making Flash animations.

Time well spent. I should animate some of our writing.

This thing is still going. Day 103.

I've lost 13 pounds of fatass since Memorial Day. It was moving really slow at first, and then as soon as I started drinking again it picked back up. No beer, just wine every now and then. I wonder if my calories were too low.
