Breakfast Whiskey
For some reason I am sitting alone watching The Breakfast Club on TV drinking whiskey for the second time in a month. No wait I wasn’t alone the last time. I think I’m caught in some kind of time loop. J.G. Ballard’s short story Escapement is about a man who gets caught in a time loop watching a play on ITV he finally escapes only to find his wife is caught in it too. He takes it all in his very English stride and observes with some reserved glee that as his time loop repeats every fifteen minutes his bottle of whiskey will last him for eternity, on the other hand he will never have enough time to get drunk on it.
I wonder if somewhere in The Stabby City is The Gin Lady suffering the same fate? GET WHISKEY GIN LADY. DRINK YOUR WAY OUT OF IT!
I have to stop blogging and drinking together…and watching television.

TV? Check. Whiskey (scotch, actually)? Check. Blogging? Done and done. You have just described my spring break.

Dammit! That was what I planned to do, but I forgot.

You mess with the bull, you get the horns.

Brian: It’s Spring break? Damn I missed it. We don’t have spring break over here as ladies would die of hypothermia on removing their overcoats to display the woollen undergarments beneath. Also our equivalent of Miami is Courtown.
Is: Its probably for the best otherwise you could still be caught in the loop.
Chris: I love that line also “Claire? That’s a fat girls name.”
