From Booze To Booze

Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2005 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

Some friends came over yesterday for a lovely luncheon (prepared by Leonard) and a joint expedition to the Costco in downtown San Francisco. Astonishingly, there is room for a Costco in downtown SF. As discovered in pre-lunch beverage discussion, I evidently keep rather more hard liquor on hand than at least one of these friends is accustomed to. It's just more efficient to buy the giant bottle of vodka, and it's not as if it'll spoil.

In an effort to spend less on lunch, I bought Costco supplies of fruit cups and organic-yet-crappy frozen burritos. Today I stowed a burrito in the workplace freezer, subsequently microwaving it and eating it with the boastful Salsa De La Muerte, a vinegar-based hot sauce. Only upon retrieving the burrito did I notice that, for the first time in my memory, there was no booze in the Salon freezer.
