the only thing i want to know is: why in god’s name haven’t i been making sangria every weekend this summer?!? huh? wtf, all…seriously, that is some delicious shit. hella easy to make and even better the next day! and yet, it’s already freaking august and i’ve only just now made some. i swear, something is most likely wrong with my brainmeats.
in other news, scooter’s un-birthday bash went off splendidly. and my bottom bitch even managed to trek out to allston rock city. hells yeah! so much food and — most importantly — so much delicious, delicious alcohol. ya know, for a while i was worried i was mayhaps just getting old or something, or — ::gasp:: — might be losing my taste for alcohol (i know, that is blasphemy, it will never happen!!) because even last summer i still spent a goodish portion of my weekends — and hell, even my week nights — pretty much consistently hammered. a gig here, a show there, a “after-work” drink (or seven) there. good times. although, these usually resulted in large amounts of cash being spent, possible cab rides, dubious male company, and considerably less sleep than i manage to scrape together as is. and there’s something appealing to chillin’ at home and knockin’ back a bottle of rum without having to leave a tip for some nameless — albeit appreciated — bartender.
however, i did fully enjoy the best of both worlds this weekend. a rare trip to the swillo, yielded large jack & cokes, plus the discovery of a whole ‘nother room that i never even noticed existed! a whole room rife with dart playin’, booze drinkin’ possibilities. the jukebox was ok…there are better out there, but it was serviceable; and the boy apparently enjoyed shooting many defenseless animals in the deer hunting game. i had damn near forgotten how cool the swillo can be.
and as for scooter’s bash, many a trip to blanchards provided me with the fixin’s to make the most delish Bucket O’ Liquor. mmmmmliquormmmmm. it was fun, it was tasty, and it was alcoholic! all of my favorite things rolled up into one fruity bucket of yummy. (hmmm…”fruity bucket of yummy”…could also be an unfortunate pr0n0 movie title, i’m afraid.) i mean…ANYWAY…our beer fridge is still stocked with a variety of alcoholic refreshment, but alas the sangria was all finished off yesterday. shanikqua was right, let that stuff sit over-night and it becomes most delicious. and, while bar drinkin’ is fun and all, there’s nothing like wakin’ up to find a bottle of precious, precious JD in your bedroom. all the fixin’s of a nutritious breakfast right at your fingertips!
it has already been decided that sangria shall be a frequent beverage in our house, and if jetta can come down this weekend i’m definitely whipping up a batch. maybe a whole ‘nother bucketload of it, hell, maybe i’ll even use whips! hee!
there is more (there is always more…) but i am tired, and fighting off a painful sore throat/cough. so…yeah…
p.s.
midget, i love you
