Long time, no post

Boy have I been lax in posting to my blog. Worry not, all is well. I'm just in a deep haze of sleep deprivation from MoralShortie's night time wakings.

Other than that, things are going pretty well. AirplaneGirl, Shortie and I are all settled in to our place in Palo Alto. While I do miss the city, I don't miss the reek of urine and the sirens. Instead, I have a balcony garden. We did have a pipe leak, but still no urine.

We're also both still employed, which is not to be taken for granted right now, I guess.

So, yes. All is well...

New cocktail

AirplaneGirl threw down the gauntlet when I mentioned I wanted to make a new cocktail. She suggested muddled green zebra tomato as a ingredient. Here's the best I could come up with:
Ingredients:

• 1 green zebra tomato
• 1 oz. vodka (I used celery-peppercorn from Modern Spirits)
• 1 oz. dry vermouth (I used Cinzano Bianco)
• a dash of sherry

Muddle the tomato, add ice, then the liquor. Mix.

I hope this is a poor translation.

CSPAN

This is kind of awesome. I'm watching CSPAN and there are literally
two senators there. Two. And one of them is ranting. He's said
American like twelve times.

Now the other guy is talking. They're both from Texas, and neither of
them is even moderately good at public speaking.
