I've posted before about my love for the musical Les Miserables, but I have never explained why I love it so much. I just went to go see it live, and I have been reflecting on it's spiritual signifigance to me a lot lately. 🧵

If you're looking for a slightly more upscale bottle of Bourbon that won't break the bank or be overproof, Eagle Rare 10 year is a bottle that works well neat, on the rocks, or in an old fashioned. Even the snobs (me) won't turn their nose up at it, but it comes in under $80.

Some people don't understand aristocratic misogyny. They come to me saying things like "a man should never have to cook for himself, harumph!" 🧐Without realizing that the nuanced misogynist believes men are the only people capable of preparing truly transcendent food.

I add a few drops of bitters to the foam of my Whiskey Sours, and often do some simple art with a toothpick using the bitters as paint. I tried to make a heart this time. It looks better in person, but is not up to snuff either way.

One of my favorite Bourbon bottles is Booker's. 130.3 proof on this particular bottle is not for the faint of heart, and mixing it with anything turns the drink into a disgusting mess. But it has an excellent flavor profile, and is an excellent find.

The pizza dough is rising, growing, amassing, swelling, inflating, enbiggielargening. My guests for tomorrow's movie night will have the best pizza I have ever eaten, if I do say so myself.

My homemade ginger beer. I make a syrup from freshly juiced ginger root (it is possible, it's just difficult) and then combine with water to taste before carbonating. I typically use it in cocktails, but today I was trying a new technique, so it's straight ginger beer.

Seeing divorced 30 y/os makes me feel a lot less bad about there being literally zero chance that I'll be married by 30. Better to be unwed at 30 than divorced at any point.

Today's movie was Nonnas. This is just typical Netflix goyslop. Not very funny, just gets people invested by celebrating the elderly, which does seem kind of authentic. Unfortunately it also caricatures nuns as neurotic, awkward, closeted homosexuals. So basically iredeemable.

Update: she walked out in the middle of the film to talk on her phone outside the door, then came back in all in the loudest possible way. 😐

I set up a movie at work for the residents today. Every time I do this, I make them root beer floats before the movie begins. Today the most entitled woman in the whole place walked in 20 minutes late, and loudly demanded I go walk in front of the projector to make her a float😐

For once it's a nice day to not spiral into self destructive insanity. But the day is young...

Just randomly got a check in the mail from the state, and I cannot figure out why. Their phone line is unhelpful at explaining it. I mean money for nothing, woo-hoo. But also government might try to renege somehow.... 🤔

Turning out to be one of those days. I should probably spaz out and ruin my life instead of just doing my relatively easy job.

My roommate and I often have lengthy debates about what a historical figure or philosopher thought on specific topics, or what someone said in a speech or video. We inevitably disagree and end the conversation by both admitting we did not read the author or watch the speech.

Perhaps my favorite cocktail, the reason Chartruese is rare & expensive, the drink that convinces people gin is delicious, and the poster child of balance: The Last Word.

Enjoyed the National Aquarium more than I imagined I would. Fish cool.

Thin layer of mayo to keep the bread from getting soggy, ham, salami, pepperoni, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, pickled jalapeno, and homemade vinaigrette on the homemade bread makes a truly excellent sandwich. The horrors of man who has to cook for himself at 29.
