Jenna,

I loved it when you linked your being able to really SEE the object of your love with Tralfamadore.

Vonnegut really got his writing claws into a concept there.

Did I ever tell you about the time when I had a very, very (much too very) brief conversation with him?

I will try to remember to tell you.

(But of course, if we were both Tralfamadorians, you would already know about it … and I would know that you know.)

Things are always soo much better for me in a Vonnegutian world.

So it goes.

Don…
Sadly, No. All of these have to be homemade or ordered at bar with a good alcohol/mixer selection (haha, not our bar). This makes the drinks much less free than I would like! We’ll have to splurge!

And Jordan…yes the grapefruit juice would be good, though I have found that the carbonation of the izze really does make a big improvement. Maybe try it with a splash of sparkling water and tell me how it goes.

So, Jenna …

Can you serve up any of these delights while you are bar-wenching (oops! I meant tending, of course) where we usually see each other?

Fuck, Dude! Can we make all of these for new years, wherever we are. This is the best thing you could have given us, so useful. I should secretly make these at home

To intoxication with life, Cheers!

(that sort of makes me want to cry when i think about it, there are so many things it could mean. we are so far from each other. all of us.)

Happiness sounds wonderful, although I’d probably substitute grapefruit juice for the Izze, that’d be cool, yea? We should, for sure, make these, for sure, on new years. Yes*

Alisha– i will post pix of the art show asap! It’s the show that was curated for Women in Art (there are four of us in the class). It looks sicker than it really is in photos so this will be good. Also I make a to-do list like that every day (admittedly it is extra bad on monday’s and wednesdays) and then I curse the heavens. onlyfourweeksuntilsanity.

FUCK dude,

I cannot handle that video. It seems like it couldn’t even be real, but also the greatest thing ever forever.

I have the chills and I’m crying and I’m so damn excited…

By the way, this is the 400th post. apparently.
