In which I discuss why I cannot drink alone (lack maturity) and other wanderings
I have finally come to a point in my life where I considered the art of drinking alone. Seeing how I am a chronic reader and somewhat interested in food and drink, I have of course heard about the health benefits of having say, 1 glass of wine at night. Being that I am in graduate school for science and hence am somewhat free during the says, I ended up reading a review or two on the work that has been done. From what I remember it basically said that 1-2 glasses a few days a week of beer or wine = decent things to your cells. I take this article to heart and after a rather stressful week, I decide to unwind.
Thursday night happens to be the night that many of the shows I watch are on. I was sitting in the living room and this is what happened:
1. Commercial break. I am angry. Notice there is a small hole in the knee of my pajamas. Decide that this is unacceptable and rip it apart. in front of my roommate and his girlfriend. Upon inquiring why on earth I just ripped off half my pants and me not having any reasonable answer, I realized that perhaps not at my optimal decision making levels though I felt normal.
2. Decide that my viewing experience would be better if I were upside down. No. It wasn't. PSA: If you have alcohol in your body and want to feel insane, lay upside down. The blood + alcohol mixture rushes straight to your brain. Then you can lose coordination and be unable to get back up. You are free to flail helplessly for a few moments as your roommate and his girlfriend watch in fascination.
3. Start talking about what is on my mind. This is only a problem because all I was thinking about was drugs and boys.
Suffice to say, something about stress and alcohol do not good bedfellows make for me :)
In other news:
Also, my kindle is/was somewhat awesome because I can download fanfic and read it anywhere/anyplace and it feels a lot more private than a laptop. Tragically, Ao3 pdf files won't move properly onto my kindle? I don't know what the deal is, but I suppose I will have to figure it out! Any recommendations for things I should be reading on my Kindle (books, fics, tea leaves) are always welcome.
Life is insane:
WI lawmakers have proposed a bill that essentially states single parenting can be considered child abuse/neglect. No words. How is this for real?
Something about this whole debate about women thing is just... I don't know. It feels wrong to me. I don't like it. I spend a lot of time at work on news sites when I'm bored and some days I just can't handle the lack of humanity that has it's hold on other countries and then on top of that domestic politics that will and can actually have a pretty strong influence on the future of politics.
Anyway, BUT I have found some cool things on the internets:
1. www.airbnb.com : You can rent cool places to stay in for cheap in so many places! Way cooler than a hotel and a little less sketchy than randomly walking into someone's apartment and sleeping on their couch.
2. Places a goat should be
3. I can't really get this fic out of my head. It's one of those fics where you finish it and you feel like you were standing right in the middle of the story watching it unfold. Atmosphere, this fic has the mood so right. Harry/Hermione/Ron, NC-17.
4. Am finishing up Spring Break!
5. Thank you leashy_bebes for the gift!! ♥!!!
Hope you are all having some lovely Spring weather!
