The Siren's call
So, the subway stop I get off on (and on, incidentally, but that's irrelevant for reasons that will become clear later this post), has a liquor store at the bottom of it. A HUGE liquor store. I think this is very bad. My first two days of work, I stopped in to buy liquor. Today, I barely resisted the siren's call. Here's how the voices argue it out in my head.
Outside the Store Day 1
Voice 1: "you really need to go buy scotch"
Voice 2: "I am in total agreement. Scotch is the only liquor you drink, you should buy some."
Inside the store
Voice 1: "Wow! look at all these Scotches. I need a whole bunch. I want to buy all the colors of Johnnie Walker, some single malts, and some stuff like Crown Royal too!"
Voice 2: "Settle down there, tonto. You only need one. We have lots of furniture we need to buy and pay for you know, and really not a very good storage place for the liquor right now anyway."
Voice 1: "Yeah, but you know we gonna run out this bitch soon. At least let me buy one more ... oooh Jager. We need Jager."
Voice 2: "No we don't."
Voice 1: "yes we do."
Voice 2: "no we don't"
Voice 1: "yes we do."
Voice 2: "yes we do."
Voice 1: "HA!"
Voice 2: "Shit. Fuck you, we're not buying Jager."
Voice 1: "well, how about Bailey's?"
Voice 2: "oh yes, we do need bailey's"
Outside the store, day 2:
Voice 2: "you know, I think we need Jager."
So, while I've avoided the siren call of Jager (and the other liquors) so far, I am going to be constantly tempted every time I get off the subway to just stop in and buy a bottle of something I don't have. Be it Macallan 10 single malt or Jager or Kirschwasser or ....
