Gin Turtle

To continue on the theme of booze (and why the hell not?!), La Snowflake was over in the gaff the other night, and we got to thinking about drinking some gin. So then we did. And you know, as the night progresses, people like to put stuff in their drinks, like crackers and chocolate-covered strawberries and whatnot? Well, somebody put a little jelly turtle into her drink, and then promptly forgot all about it. And so did I, until I was cleaning up the next day, and found a glass with a gin-soaked mutant turtle at the bottom of it. Here he is, compared to a normal (sober) specimen. Fascinating stuff, no?

















This particular fella was packed off to a nearby AA meeting, but I think we might engineer a few more for the next soiree.

30 degrees, religion, and rum

Some text messages received from Sib 2 over the past few days, he was on pilgrimage in Medj with the parentals, then they went to Croatia for a few days to shake off all the religion. He’s been looking for mojitos for the past while, but refused to go to any bar in Dublin that might serve them, for “fear of the gay homosexuals.” He finally managed to get one in Dubrovnik...

Him: Havin a mojito, fuckin’ lovely

Me: Just the one?!

Him: Well I’ve finished that one, quite delightful, so I might just have another


One day later…


Him: Had a few more mojitos today, started Ma and Da on them, ma wants you to get the recipe for them…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Dublin’s weather today. Sunshine. No wait, here’s rain. No, the rain’s stopped, it’s sunny again. Now it’s cloudy, oh, I dunno, I think it might rain again. Yeah here’s the rain. And more rain. It’s starting to stop. No, wait, it’s still raining. Now it’s stopped. Go for your lunch. Ha ha, just messin’, here’s more rain! Aaaw, did you get very wet?!

Bastard.

I’m swearing all day. Don’t try and stop me, this week hasn’t stopped sucking ass yet. I’m either going to start screaming and throw my shoes at people’s heads, or just go on a bender. Maybe I’ll do both. Fucked if I know! But because you can now be fired for giving out about your job on a blog, I’m certainly not going to say anymore about that!

(insane laughter)

I done did it!

I’ve just spent two weeks not drinking! For everyone that thought I couldn’t do it, in yisser collective faces! And for those that had faith, or those who didn’t care either way, I’d just like to say thanks. Mine’s a Budvar…

The travelling girlies have shipped off to South America, and thanks to that crazy international date line thing, they arrived there four hours before they left New Zealand! I was in Kildare for the weekend, but there was no time travel involved there, so I won’t talk much more about that.

Got my ticket for Canadia booked! I think! Waiting for the confirmation now. So, everyone in Canuckland, this is your warning!
