Alcohol Consumption Impending...
In an effort to be unpredictable and spontaneous in my LJ posting habits, I chose to post pre-intoxication, just to tell my beloved f-list and associated passerbys that I will shortly be partaking in a proper St. Patrick's Drunk-Catholic Celebration which involves - you guessed it - drinking until I make even more typos and think even less cheery thoughts about everything that I currently hate in my passive angst-ridden way.
Also, I want to recommend Chuck Palahniuk most heartily as an author. And no, not just because of Fight Club, though the book was better than the movie (and the movie did do a decent job of conveying the feel of the book). "Haunted" has stuff in it that still squicks me even thinking back on it now. And "Diary" has simultaneously made me want to make art again AND reaffirmed my belief that doing so is inherently meaningless in the modern culture.
Go get them. Read them. Now.
I'll be over there drinking dark, ugly beer if anyone wants me. :)
