I give all of you license to grill my sister on why she doesn't eat any of the things she doesn't eat, or drink what she doesn't drink, or watch any of the things she doesn't watch. Because it's comedy gold, mostly.

It's possible I've passed out of any protective big-sister phase I was ever in.

Usually when people do the "I don't watch TV! It's all crap that rots your brain!" I roll my eyes, and pity them a little for never having seen Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Profit or any of the other truly good shows out there. And then I take a swig of my third scotch for the day and puff on my smoke.

Although I do feel judged when people don't watch TV. Or at least when they declare that fact in a proud, morally superior fashion.

yeah I feel judged, but am ok with it since I am fairly certain I am being judged by a pompous ass. But I've been told I have an overly healthy sense of my own awesomeness.

t loves Daisy Jane

Speaking of drinking, sort of, we have a neighborhood bar, like walk to it neighborhood. Mr. Jane was up there last night when he got off work, and our regular bartender had a large bloodstain on his pant leg.

Apparently, some guy came in, started throwing barstools over the bar at Steve (the bartender). Steve had already called the cops, but the guy had walked out. Jon went to find him for when the cops came, but he had caused a ruckus at some bars on the strip, so they knew right where he was.

Jon said when they hauled him out he was yelling, "You a cop? I fucked your wife! I fucked your girlfriend! I fucked your mother!" Then they searched him (took a while to get him on the hood of the car), and found e in his front pocket, and he said "I have blow in my back pocket!" which they found.

He then iced the shit cake by spitting in the officer's face.

omg y'all I'm watching the last Leverage available! I expect withdrawl.

All I can add to this discussion is I had way the hell too much to drink Saturday. It didn't seem like it at the time, then it hit like a freight train. I try avoiding that...

When I was in high school, we learned in health class that binge drinking was more than 4 drinks for a woman and more than 5 drinks for a man, in the course of an evening. It was also binge drinking if you stayed below that limit but had more than one drink per hour.

I know that I heard someone on NPR postulating that part of the cause of The Enlightenment was the arrival of tea and coffee, so people went from drinking alcohol all the time to drinking caffeine all the time.

OK, that's hilarious. And sounds really likely!

Heh. Relatedly, I was asking my mother about nail polish color for my interview (I like to focus on dumb things I can control, what can I say?), and she pointed out that if they wouldn't hire me because I had the wrong nail polish on, I didn't want to work there anyway. Good call, mom.

January 13th. I envy you your relatively short wait.

When I was in high school they didn't teach us anything about binge drinking. Then again, it was the UK, and it was already legal for us to drink.

It was also binge drinking if you stayed below that limit but had more than one drink per hour.

Dude, that's two drinks with dinner. Or three shots in an evening.

Get hired and change them from the inside.
