Czern, perhaps this will answer your question:

00:48 / 08.05.05

Interesting evening?

Nah, not really. Just chocolate cake (which went really well, unexpectedly, with the Shiraz) and Chapelle's Show. I'll probably read some smutty slashy fanfic to round out my evening.

00:49 / 08.05.05

Dame Sally, you are here and I am here, at the same time. Surely this presages famine and pestilence or something. Our usual practice is to pass like ships in the night, after all.

Bah. I have fine drink at home but no computer. I have a great computer at the office but no drink.

I think that just about sums up the great middle-class crisis in its entirety.

00:53 / 08.05.05

I think you just need to drink at home. Or smuggle work into yoyur computer....

00:53 / 08.05.05

Oh hell, you know what I mean.

I sure hope so.

No worries. Pishedness is a venerable, time-honored excuse for a lack of coherence. Makes one wish for a drunken state when we say stupid things sober.

Editorial "we" of course.

-glomps Xoc in classic anime fashion- Xoc! Shweetie! It's so lovely to see you!

*big hug*

How was your Shiraz? I am full of Pinot Noir, and then there was some Chianti, and then there was Rioja. Well, it was Saturday. And I did enrol at the gym - though didn't actually get any more exercise than signing my name and flexing the plastic.

So tomorrow will be sober, energetic day. Fat chance.

Well, it's Black Swan (how could I resist?) from Australia, 2003. Four itty bitty bottles. It has more of a bite than most of the reds I usually partake in. I think it might make a lovely sangria, but as I've proven in previous lateshifts (grapedriver!) my cocktails are really barbaric and appalling.

Although on the bright side, "Disgraced By Mimosas" would make a great title for a series of memoirs.

It would, it would. Each chapter headed with a brutal recipe.

01:16 / 08.05.05

My drink of desperation is the mulled wine I was given for Christmas, the last of the booze supply. And I must thank Mr G Galloway for bringing me back into this community. At least he was good for something.

01:16 / 08.05.05

Barbaric and appalling are the words you want to hold in your mind as you up-end that cocktail shaker. Only the dregs of that vino tinto remain to me here. I would love a cocktail but have neither spirits nor fruit juices to hand. I'll have to settle for cock.

01:18 / 08.05.05

I wonder what they actually do to "mull" wine. I would imagine there are cloves involved from the taste and it is heated of course. More to it surely, though.

Bastard Tweed

01:19 / 08.05.05

I was going to say, "I'd love some tail but will have to settle for half a bottle of Maneshevitz," but yours is better, I'm afraid.

Mazeltov.

Mulled wine is a mixture of wine (obviously), cloves, cinnamon, lemon, orange peel, cardamom, fennel and nutmeg. This was all listed on the bottle. If you want to make your own concoction let me know! Maybe add some gin or brandy or rum, or all three if you are feeling game. Add a bit of sugar, but be warned: it goes down fast!

Strange Machine Vs The Virus with Shoes

Bah! Sangria!

Woog. Shiraz and chocolate cake, yes. Shiraz and shortbread sugar cookie, non.

hello . goodnight.

-gets whiplash. Or would, were she not drunk to the point of utter relaxation.-

On the off (off) chance that any of you remain up, I bid you good (the best of) night.

09:03 / 08.05.05

Grr. I miss Lateshifting at work (A- the new bosses have a much stricter internet policy, and B- it's all been going so horribly wrong that I haven't had the time- in fact, I've just got home having finished at 10am instead of 7). So I thought I'd just pop in and say hi, and tell you how much I've been missing my LS fix.
