On Last Week

I drank a lot these last few days. I have been getting into cocktails over the span of several years. I enjoy the odd and quirky flavors. Aperol and Charctruese and Luxardo and Campari. Okay maybe not Campari. But most other flavors. How many you can not find in food? How many of them so unique and wonderful. My taste for sophisticated living includes sophisticated drinks. And now it has become a study. A hobby. A past time. I have myself a clover club right now. I needed to make my own raspberry syrup for it. Gin, lemon juice, and an egg white. I am not sure if you a reverse dry shake or just a regular one. When I've tried both, I will get back to you. Serve shaken with ice and strained in a chilled cocktail glass.

This week was a mess at work and for myself. The random holiday on Thursday. The fact no one showed up for work Friday, and everybody was ready to take their tops off and run around screaming freedom meant I spent too much time dreaming and not enough realizing that I in fact, had work. I got most of it done without a tell that it is not my best work. My only regret is leaving my coworker with maybe 15 minutes of work that I should have taken care of Saturday.

I did not do anything this week. Buying all these fancy liqours means I need to stay home and not have anyone else make me drinks. I took up administrating a Minecraft server. That has kept me busy.

On Jung

I finished Synchronicity last week. Pretty good book on acausal events. It is a big idea to get your head around. Some of his examples are trash woo woo science. But the core of his arguement stands as an aftront to the deterministic view of the world we all share now. He has a nice manner of reminding us about the position of science and rational in our lives so that we do not go off the deep end. I wish I had read this book earlier in my life. Right now is a good time though. Several years ago it might have done a number to my psyche.

Six Months

It has been six months since I started this blog. I have been thinking about it a lot lately. Next week I would like to review my thoughts on the matter. The books I have read. A nuanced route through my life of the last six months.
