Ok, it looks like I can run around the BloggerPro "reliable" service which is down right now by posting directly through this "BlogTHIS" linky thing. I know everyone is just screeching with glee now that I've explained why I haven't been able to post anything.
So today looks like a Redbull and Gin day. Yes, I know that every time I go that route I end up writhing on the floor half-naked and listening to depressing music. Listen, I don't have time in my dramatic life for judging yours, so try and have at least that much courtesy. This drink smells like children's aspirin.
I've never forgotten the childrens aspirin. I remember having access to that "candy" when I was really young - like 8 or 9. It's a testimonial to how absolutely terrified I was of my fathers swift and unavoidable retribution for misbehavior that I never chugged the whole bottle. I loved the way those things tasted. They were actually better than PEZ, because they'd melt in your mouth and you didnt need to chew them. Sweet! Speaking of which, there were no sweets in my house (barring the chocolate donuts and the frozen chocolate chips which were my fathers, and may the lord have mercy on you if you touched them because my old man sure didn't.) so the childrens aspirin were actually a pretty good bet for candy jonesin'.
