April 17, 2011 - Breakfast

A friend calls and I say how is it going; he says it is going not so well. How much, I ask, are you drinking? Because I am eating too much. Oh man, he says. Like three of those 1.75 liter bottles of gin a week. I do some math. So that is that is like two almost three 2-liter bottles of soda. That is like more than a gallon of gin. It is like a milkjug and then you got almost a half-gallon on top of that. Like if you drank that much milk I'd be worried about you. I'd be like this guy has to chill out on the milk. Except it's not milk but rather gin which is not just a liquor at 90-plus proof. Well shit, he says, what do I have to do? I hate my job and my apartment is terrible. This is true, I said. Maybe you should go outside though as it's sunny.
