Okay, I'm really, really drunk right now. It is Monday afternoon, 4:30. If you guessed that I'm drunk on bourbon right now, you get... well, no points. Of course I'm drunk on bourbon. And yes, two new bourbons. I am so totally serious, you guys, about trying every bourbon. It is my new life's goal... but sadly, many bourbon companies do not make the little airline bottles (I like to call them "baby bottles") to do taste tests... and some of them are very darned expensive. Like over $30 for 750 ml bottles.... so this is a long-term project. My Xmas list is likely to be several bourbons... except for, well, my family. I am not so hard as to ask my mom to buy me bourbons.
I uhhh had a great time bowling with SG folks on Sat night. I had Dewar's driving to dinner with JamieLee, minimalism, and Stiles, had some appetizers and Gentleman Jack... oh, rewind, I had some Gentleman Jack and Canadian Mist when I went to the movies Friday night with painbearer and his friend Ryan.... we went to see Shaun of the Dead. It was fun. pb gave me something that night... for uhhh reasons of a discretionary nature, I shouldn't say what he gave me but pb, dude, thanks! I'm sorry- I am laughing at my typos. Uh, so Sat night, yes, those people I had dinner with were really boss, really boss, and we went bowling and I had a lil drinkie of Crown Royal to help me bowl, and it worked, and uhhh met OldskoolPat and this very nice lady friend of someone who, she's not on the site, but we had a nice conversation at the bar afterwards... when I had either Crown Royal (what the bill said) or Knob's Creek (which I ordered)(I thinkit was Knob's Creek, since it was very, very strong, which the nice young lady [Michelle] agreed with me was very, very strong, and I have Crown Royal here now in a baby bottle, and it's not that strong), which JamieLee bought for me cuz, get this, I was havin ga shitty bowl inthe last game, then all of the sudden I got a lucky bounce out of the gutter to give me a spare, then the very next frame I got another lucky spare by hitting 4 pins when I was over the line... I was six feet over the line, actually, cuz I fucking fell over the line, but god bless the SGers, they are not as strict as Walter Sipzjack (sp?) and it was not a league game, so they gave me my roll, and I went on to bowl three strikes in the last frame... now, I am a modest man, faithfull SG reader, I do not brag about these things, but that is why come JamieLee bought me a drink after the game... adn I I didn't even take my time or use my own ball on the last bowl, I just said, "Ah Jesus, what the hell, no reason to act all stet like I'm actually gonna bowl three strikes in a row, just grab a ball and throw it," but fuck me, it was a third strike, a turkey, so I guess I shoulda had Wild Turkey, but if you read my Journal regularly (you poor bastards that do) then you know I already tried Wild Turkey....
Right now, I have had one Virginia Gentleman baby bottle and two doubles of Elijah Craig... and let me tell you, Elijah Craig is some very damned fine bourbon. It has easily the best bouquet of any bourbon I've tried yet. It smells exactly like a fine bay rum... and obviously, well read the above, I am obviously faced on it.
Yesterday I went to my friend Mike's... and I'm sorry NoControl and Tryst that I didn't see Tryst's show. Goddamn, I want to see Tryst's band again... but I had promised my friend Mike I'd hang out, and we did, and it was cool. We watch football, and hang out with Mike's sons who are 2 3/4 and 1 years old, respectively, and at the end of the night his son was "interviewing" me; he asked me "What do you do all day?" and I told him, and he preceded to ask me 5 more times, and he was wielding a pretend-microphone, and I told him I work in a library, and he asked me "Do you read Baaaalzac?" and I was like "WTF?!?!??" cuz you know he is young and how the f does he know who Balzac is, or is he making a ball-sack joke, ya know??? So Mike tells me, "He's been watching The Music Man," so I was like , "Ohhhhh!!!," and then he asks me, "Do yo do Christmas?" and I say (at this point, I'm starting to feel sarcastic, 2 3/4 years old, or not), "Well, I'm not really doing Ramadan," and he goes, "Oh, RAMADAN! I LOOOOVE Ramadan!" and his mom loses it. Yeah, so now I am back home and faced. That was the anecdote. Laugh, bitches!!!!!!!!!!!
Elijah Craig is a really, really nice bourbon.

ps - I am a bit sad that less folks read my last Journal than I had hoped would read it, but then uhh I am not so sad, as I am faced right now, and I am making a video-tape compilation for mtlqueen... so I am actually full of mirth. But please read my last Journal. Thank you.

pps (from the camera of JamieLee)- The bottle in my hand might appear to be Crown Royal Special Reserve, but that would be against house rules; it must be something else.
