No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When you are finished you have a beautiful and satisfying drink, and your parents aren't ashamed of you when they come over unexpectedly and catch you swigging vodka out of your Diet Vanilla Coke like a teenager at a high school football game.

Oh, also, I truly have no shame. It was less than a year ago that I was hustling my boyfriend out of bed and out of my house because my parents showed up when I wasn't expecting them.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aimée: ON THE LIST.

I'm ALWAYS ON THE LIST.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gimlets need sugar, dammit!

No! I'm with Hec and the Jane on this one.

Gimlets shouldn't cost $10, right? It was fucking tasty, but that seemed steep. Got to make sure I never buy those when someone else is paying.

Oh, that's too funny. And precisely the sort of thing I'd do had I a guy to shove out of my house. And I'm nearly 40.

No, sometimes you're not, but those times are so short-lived that no one bothers to tell you!

Nice place, name-brand vodka, it's not crazy. At least it's mostly a glass of booze. Ten bucks for a froofy drink that's mostly juice and bullshit kills me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

No, it should cost whatever a non-special cocktail costs, like $6-$7.

ETA: Gimlets should cost whatever a shot costs, the $10 is for froofy menu cocktails. Also, if you don't want sugar in the drink, it's vodka with lime juice, not a freaking vodka gimlet.

Well bugger that for a game of soilders. I want to know when I'm not ON THE LIST!

I'm sure I've paid $10 for non-froofy highball-type drinks. At like the Soho Grand or whatever. Fancy places like where ita goes.

Okay place, Grey Goose. But mmm, lime juice.

Hec! Help! I have three tracks in my iTunes that I can't classify properly. They say they're from the album "The Famous 500," but Google doesn't think that album exists. I don't remember where I got them, so I can't tell if they were from a compilation of sorts. They are:

  • White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane
  • Plynth (Water Down The Drain) by Jeff Beck
  • Down By The River by Neil Young
on discs 11, 13, and 15 respectively.

Hello. My name is ita, and I have a metadata addiction.

This. Especially if you're in a place where a name-brand shot costs $8 or more.
