do you call it Tea or Infusion if it does not contain herbs instead of tea leaves ?I thought infusion was the same, except with MUCH more herbs and MUCH more steeping.
The only accepted weed or else in a drink is barley!
Well, an extra shift worked, bringing my hospital total to six with really not many more possible. Three shifts at new job II Weds-Fri training.
I will be a lot happier when some of these checks come through
Well I guess absinthe makes the heart grow fondernope, you're drinking absinthe. That's the rule. You will chase the green fairy while CH and I cheer and David M Mallon looks exasperated.Oh I know it does happen. I'm just saying I'm not especially looking for anything. While in NYC perhaps the magic will happen. But I'm not particularly interested in seeking it out. I am more interested in meeting all of you guys, having a fun evening downing exotic drinks and getting hilariously wastedFull warning: the cocktails at Lovecraft are a little on the pricy side, but they're strong so you don't need many. Absinthe knocks me on my ass.Meh. I'm used to pricey drinks. I live on Cape Cod after all. Even in the winter they charge us tourist prices. Unless you got an in at the Elks.
Absinthe I haven't had before. Thus I am hesitant to try it in such a venue as a strange bar in NYC. I might go a bit safer, maybe a White Russian binge, or a citrusy-vodka style drink. Those I can hoover up no prob
It's not hallucinogenic anymore (sadly?). To comply with US law, all it can be is really strong booze. I think their stuff is somewhere around 140 proof.
In the past, I've just done one and then switched to whiskey. They make their own infused whiskeys.
Ah, absinthe. Wonderful stuff... if you like the flavor of anise.
Absinthe never was hallucinogenic. That's a myth. It is, however, a high-proof alcohol (usually 140-150 proof: 70-75% alcohol). If you read the descriptions of "absinthism" from the 19th-century anti-absinthe campaign, the symptoms are indistinguishable from "alchoholism." And the whole anti-absinthe campaign was just a (sucessful) attempt at prohibition, aimed at a drink that was popular with (and frequently abused by) the working class. (And partly backed by French winemakers, whose profits were being threatened by the popularity of absinthe.)
The chemical that was the alleged "hallucinogen" in absinthe is thujone. While it does occur naturally in wormwood, it also occurs naturally in several other herbs-- like oregano, marjoram, and sage. You ingest more thujone eating my grandmother's turkey stuffing than you could ever get from drinking absinthe (without first dying of alcohol poisoning, that is.)
I've been drinking absinthe rather frequently since before the US import ban, and I've never felt anything other than what you'd expect from drinking high-proof booze.

Lots of training = lots of energy to keep up with those crazy shifts...
Soon I hope the training will pay off

Anise ... Ugh. Not a fan.
Fear the Walking Dead. Not as good as the original, but still watchable IMO
Lord I am beat. Early night tonight. Then Contracts tomorrow

drink iiiiiiiiiiit
Another successful night in the gym.
Man, my chest is weak. I need to really batten it up.
Blogpost: Ghrribbeet, the interplanar information broker.This guy reminds me so much of St. Julien Perlmutter from Clive Cussler's stories.
I don't remember ever reading Clive Cussler stories.
EDIt: Does he have toad head?
Not fan of absinthe.
Rum with coke or banana juice is fine.
So are some mixed drinks.

O blessed pre-dawn!
When day is virgin pure
Unstain'd by cares and woe
You precious time rolls on!
Flying quick and sure
Like hunters' practiced throw
I stand before you now
Penitent in Adam's robes
Aware of the long race that I must run
Yet I know the answer how
It lies within Cupidean lobes
The race itself is not a chore but fun.
Classical poetry. I need to reread a bit of that
GOOD MORNING TREEFORTNAM!!!!!!
You know what I like to do in the pre-dawn hours? I like to meditate. Like a tiny stone watching the world as it starts to wake up empty of herself and filling up on everything else.
I find sharing anime and tabletop experiences to be the best part.
Companionship, shared experiences, and having someone on the same mental wavelength for me.

My wife is truly my best friend.
It helps she doesn't really go for drama though. :-)
T bound. I can see the last weeks of my schooling will be fun to travel to with the baseball fans incoming..
*sigh*

I enjoy a brisk hour on my elliptical in the predawn. It sets a positive tone for the day. Plus a shower feels very nice after. I do a lot of meditation in the shower. The hot water is very conducive to mindfulness

Yep, that's the best way for things to go IMO.

Rum.
How doesn't matter so much, but it's gotta be Rum.
Or whatever, I'll try anything once.
Rum is ok. I like it in my Coke. (That or whiskey)
I'll try anything once too. Twice if I like it.
(Yeah. THAT'S what got me into trouble more often than not in my youth.) :/
To me, rum belongs in fruity frozen drinks, and nothing else.
Whenever I visit my father in Florida, the vacation has not begun until I have a giant piña colada with an umbrella in it.

Last time I had multiple White Russians I did bad karaokeThe last time I had tequila I urinated off a third story balcony.
Next time, you should stay away from three- or more-story buildings.

I will have absinthe tequila on hand for our upcoming excursion.
Last time I had multiple White Russians I did bad karaoke
NO!!!!
The horror! THE HORROR!!!Oh, wait, that would presume that first there is somewhere that does GOOD karaoke!
;P

The last time I had tequila, I fell asleep on the couch at 7:00 PM while watching Star Trek.
I have never had tequila.
Tequila is a good mixer. I like a nice Margarita
So very very tired
I'm liking this show Gotham. Except for young Bruce. Not a fan
I have definitely had tequila, but I don't remember much about that night.
I'll bring a bottle (or two) of good tequila next time I'm up there, and we'll see what we all do :D
I do tend to giggle a lot when I am drunk... like the whole world is funny.
No reason to get excited,
I'm liking where this is going.

I am usually the designated Blackmailer, errr...., driver, so I tend to not drink much. It also does not help that I do not like the taste of alcohol. Besides, as David can tell you, I am bad enough on sugar and caffeine.
I didn't drink for a stretch of about six years. No real reason, just didn't feel the need. When I resumed last year I found I enjoyed making oddball cocktails. It was fun to pair them with the custom meals I was cooking. Lately I have been not drinking again, mainly because I don't need the extra calories, and my schedule doesn't allow for recovery days
Just ran into a friend of mine that I share part of my commute with who reminded me of something. Patrick, if you are going to be in 42nd street area, maybe I should escort you. Hustlers have come back in droves, and I don't want to see you forced to get some dudes mix tape.
That said, the topless women(I call them orthosbane) can be hilariously aggressive at times.

Hmm. I didn't have plans for 42nd str, but I will keep this in mind
Well, my house's heat has died. I'm not too pleased with this development

Just have Freehold move the snow globe closer to the fireplace. Should fix things nicely.
;P

I haven't noticed that around 42nd. What part? I could see it in Times Square, I suppose.
