Ignoring the passage of time...

... I remember back at least twenty years. The 25th was a quick brunch at Grampa's, nothing more. The passing of not just a year, but the first decade of this millennium, was spent alone with a glass of vodka at my side. I didn't even realize midnight had passed until around 1:30. I wasn't disappointed that I'd missed it. There will be no review of the year(nor decade, for that matter) from me. ...

No vodka for me.

Well, The Rock Rest dumped UV vodka. No cherry for me. I was a little pissed. They didn't even have any flavored vodka, as I seemed to have walked in at the middle of the transition. Had to revert to Jack & Coke for a bit. However, I did discover later that Cruzan black cherry rum is just about as delicious.

Vodka

I'll be damned. Absolut pear vodka tastes exactly like a pear. I'm really amazed. Except for that slight burn, of course.

.... I have 32 hours of vacation time that has to be used by the 30th. So with 8 hours of holiday pay locked in, I can't work this week. I should be thrilled I was able to schedule it, I do hate my job. But if the whole week is like this I don't know if I can handle it. I think I'll hit the Rock Rest tonight. They have killer burgers and are the only nearby bar I know of that carries UV vodka.

Two bars, one CriScO.

... they're doing karaoke at her bar again starting tomorrow and she wants me to come. That's pretty cool and all, but shit, I don't have the money to do it twice a week! Damnit... She even ordered more cherry vodka for me... I really like the new place I've been going, so stopping that one is out, but I'll feel like a dick if I don't go back after she made sure to come tell me! That is awesome ...
