TET: Toxic Event Therapy

[Jerzylvania]

What kind of wine? I have a 2015 Pedroncelli zinfandel, Sonoma County, I'm drinking just now.

You make me feel inferior, I'm stuck with cheap boxed wine. Being broke is fun, but then again, so is wine, even if it's pretty garbage.

I grew up down the dirt road from Boone's Farm. Ya got nuthin' on me pal.

Wine, even cheap wine, is a balm to the soul. As Alkaios sang, "oinos, o phile pai, kai alathea" which is "wine, dear boy, and truth." And so it is. Why, Doctor Franklin told me of North Korea over a bottle, long, long ago. "Lady Farn," he said (he always called me that), "I just think that if we can get this country going, and avoid falling into a trap like North Korea, why ..." "Doctor," I said, interrupting, "Whatever is 'North Korea'?" The Great Man had another drink, fell asleep, and I didn't find out until 1945 what he meant.

I was drinking sake earlier, but now I am in transit going home. I will have a glass of wine when I get home.

I haven't had sake in ages. Must remedy that.

God damn, I had to google Boone's Farm. Looks like the Bud Ice of wine (but if it's cheap, I may just pick some up....)

Biggest issue seems to be the low ABV. Easier to drink malt liquor at that point.

That's weirdly beautiful.

What's your max on wine expenditure? I can recommend some Spanish tempranillo at six, seven bucks a bottle.

Depends. I just try to budget all my food/drink expenses. Seven bucks a bottle, now that's easily doable.

I loved that man. Him and mon cher Rene Descartes. *sighs with melancholy*

A horrible miscarriage of justice indeed. Which brings up a question, how is the sushi by you?

Well, there's one called Flaco, very nice, tastes like cherries. Flaco, as every schoolchild knows, is the opposite of "gordo."

I can't say. Herself cannot abide it. The Safeway by us just added a sushi counter. We're hundreds and hundreds of miles from the sea, you know, so ...

Oh damn, they have it at a store nearby it seems. Will have to check it out, thanks Farn.

Stuff was aged all afternoon.

I'll be interested in what you think.

I'm not much up on the Spanish vintages but I know a number of Italian wines I can recommend. They do sell for rather more than the Flaco, though. Honestly, ask the staff at your local shop, tell them what you can afford and let them recommend. If they're any good, they'll be happy to help. Or ask Iffy, he works at an off-license in Ireland.

Alright....so much for purgatory tonight. Limbo is now my goal.

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.

I am not big on supermarket sushi. And the middle of the country thing makes it tough for ocean fish.

[Arventum]

I <3 sushi ;-; I /have/ to be by a coastline or in a place with decent inland fish.

Okay, I can take the G train but really! And you, lightweight! Letting the Jersey side down, snoozing after what? two drinks?

Why not a bicycle?

[Ruskland-Preuben]

Why not a bicycle?

Why do that though? When you can travel about straddling a unicycle like an absolute b0ss.
Too fucking bad I can't ride one or even have one.

Won't fit my budget or backpack. Why don't you give him yours, he's standing right over there...
