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.

I have a nearly full bottle of vermouth to get through before I move. What are some cocktails I should make with it?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

shrift, sweet or dry? I really like making this sangaree with dry vermouth: [link] - you don't even need the Allspice Dram.

Punting packing. Carried the suitcase upstairs. Realized dress I want to pack is air drying, used that as an excuse. Hell, it's only 11 days, most at my parents' where I can alway do laundry.

Dry, and that sangaree looks intriguing.

Edit: I'm drinking a gin martini with lemon right now.

I use dry vermouth to cook greens or that sort of thing, or to deglaze pans. Anywhere white wine would be called for.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I've had a day, now I want a gin martini too. Too bad I need to finish cleaning house, hair dying, and packing, and DH went back to work for a late meeting. FML

Applicant came for a job interview wearing flip flops, camisole over a bikini top, and shorts that barely covered her ass, plus a half hour late. As offensive as this was, I'm so desperate I still want to hire her

I wouldn't, but that's just me

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's always exciting to see that my parents town is trending on Twitter because a tornado touched down. Meep.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yikes! I hope everyone's okay!

It is finally a comfortable temperature. I guess I should go to sleep, though it kind of seems like a shame to have been awake and doing stuff through the miserable heat and unconscious once it gets pleasant. But if the forecast can be believed it should stay pretty nice for a while, and I have to get through 6 hours of work tomorrow before I can have my 3.5 day weekend.
