DW, toss me a Student's Nectar.
Tis weekend was wonderfully unproductive. Really good for my ankle, but terrible for everyhting else.

I have a serious "to do" list now, with a bunch of stuff that must be done for certain times tomorrow.

I'll probably be up all night to get this stuff done.

One Student Nectar and one Study Aid free of charge.

I need something to give me the nerve to tell my dad that his Valentine's Day plans with my mom need to not involve me.

[Mentalist]

ugh, I hate doing this accounting crap.

Why did I not protest more vehemently when they nominated me for treasurer?

The part of you that's masculine and power-hungry?

yah, could be.

I feel underwhelmed. I did most of the stuff I need to do. I can't finish the financial report until tomorrow morning, because I need to get the latest statement from a currently locked office. but everything else is basically done.

The only other thing on my to-do list is my take home midterm, but it's not due till Friday, and I'll have basically all of Wednesday to do it, since one of my classes that day is cancelled.

Wow, that is rather intense.
What exactly did you do?

Started drinking at around noon, then went to assorted parades and parties for the next 14 hours. They love their mardi gras parades down here. And it probably didn't help I forgot to eat dinner.
There is just always something to do this time of year.

You know you had a damn good time on Saturday when your still a little hungover on Monday morning.
And again....Mardi Gras in New Orleans is awesome.

Or you're getting old. 2 day hangovers are almost standard nowadays, I'm afraid.
Can I get something against old age, DW?

One "Renewal" coming right up

-3 parts Gin
-1 part creme de Menthe
-1 strip of lemon peel
-2 part club soda
-3 parts diluted retro-cyberviral rejuvenation solution (for the renewal part)
-1 half-ounce Bourbon

Shaken over ice and served in a tall fluted glass. With a Pineapple shaped like a bio-hazard symbol.

Haven't started getting two day hangovers yet.

[Mentalist]

2 day hangovers take a lot of drinking. I think i've had day and a half the first time I ever drank.

Don't think I've ever actually had a 2 dayer yet.

sigh, I wish i've had some beer right now....

I suppose it's possible that the fact that I'm 32 might......MIGHT have a bit to do with it.

For Lizra and Mott:

Translation:

Ingredients

-250ml of raspberry puree without the seeds*
-60ml of sugar
-2 egg yolks

Directions
1-Chop the chocolate and set aside.
2-In a pot bring the puree and half the sugar to a boil and set aside.
3-In a bowl mix the other half of sugar with the egg yolks with a whisk. Gradually add the warm puree while whisking. Pour the complete mixture back into the pot and and cook gently while stirring for about 1 minute.
4-Pour the hot mix through a sieve over the chocolate in the bowl and let rest for 1 minute without stirring.
5-Whisk the whole thing until it's completely mixed. Pour into four espresso cups, cover and put in the fridge for 4 hours or all night.

*To make 250ml of raspberry puree without seeds, reduce 1 litre of thawed whole raspberries into a puree and pass through a fine sieve.

2 days of Mardi Gras left.

Time to buckle down and ignore that part of my brain that says its time to rest.

Wednesday has unofficially been labeled as detox day.

Hey DW, on behalf of Berk, only give him a light scrub. I would think the bright cleansing light of SE and ICE's brilliance would have loosened up the filth.

And what a mess to come back to. Could I have a rootbeer float?

[Darkwatch]

I just checked the chat on thread. Since I had no idea what you were on about.
Alright I'll get the scrubber bot out and my copy of the Ritualis Romani and exorcise the demon from his soul.
Remember Assail was a Tairy fan and he was saved. It can be done.
And here's your rootbeer float, cherry ice cream.


*Intones*

Exorcizo te creatura salis, in nomina Dei Patris omnipotentis,
et in charitate Domini nostri Jesu Christi
et in virtute Spiritus sancti.
Exorcizo te per Deum vivum,
Per Deum verum,
per Deum Sanctum,
Per Deum,
Qui te ad tutelam humani generis procreavit, et populo venienti ad credulitatem per servos suos consecrari praecepit, ut in nomine sanctae Trinitatis efficiaris salutare Sacramentum ad effugandum inimicum...

There's something about a man speaking Latin that just really, really works for me

[Mentalist]

welp, I've officially won my first case.

mind, the other guy decided to avoid paying, so he didn't show up, and now I have to rack my brain as to how to enforce the court order.

but the point is: I represented someone. In court. Against someone else.

And i've won.

Today I was informed by a leading industry member that we (that is, myself and my class) are entering an industry that may not exist at the end of the year. (He did add 'as we know it')

I'm not sure how I feel about this...

Pick a drink for me, won't you Darkwatch dear?

[JLV]

Scaremongering, KL. Things may change, but you shouldn't worry yourself too much.

I'll have what she's having.

Here's your drink! Enjoy.
