We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

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

Location: Bar Lubitsch, West Hollywood

Order: Vodka gimlet straight up

Received: Unnamed vodka and organic freshly squeezed lime juice with some sugar--one martini glassful and a shaker's worth (about the same volume)

Cost: $11

Verdict: Hmmm. Not sweet enough, and lacked that juicy tang. Missing the best of both worlds, really. However, there was a lot of it, and it wasn't bad. It just wasn't as good as the last few.

Is $11 a representative price for gimlets? It seems high to me, but in my head all drinks are $4 and I'm pretty sure that's not accurate at all.

It's the most expensive gimlet I've had so far (I think--I haven't paid for all of them myself), but it was two glasses' worth of drink, so I can't complain. Other people found drinks there pricey though--ones smaller than mine were also $11.

Oh, another martini glass worth in the shaker, all becomes clear.

I love that you are becoming a gimlet pro, ita.

It's morning and my usual monday panic is lurking around my eyes.

It's monday and a lot of things are on the list. Snow, Old Navy's whackass sizing, damp jeans and whatever it is that got into my eye and is making it sting and ruin my makeup, for starters.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The good news is that Starbucks switched to a different kind of apple fritter that doesn't have trans fats.

The bad news is that they're still bad for me.

The bad news is that they're still bad for me.

But not AS bad. Let's celebrate that with another bite.

Breakfast this morning? Grilled ham and cheese on jalapeno cheese bread.
