Not that I've
been getting too many lemons recently. Simply because I can afford it... as an
immigrant. I can now buy any alcohol I want and there are heck of a lot to
buy... and more importantly – to drink :)
There are
emerging some minor issues when it comes to the DRINKING part, though.
First of all,
I've set up myself a target of at least 20 (thinking of increasing the figure
now) before I open any of them. How am I doing? Perfectly well. Not tempted at
all. I keep cool with 'my' two-for-£5 Italian wine(s) every now and then.
Second thing is
that no one chips in for the collection, but I bet "the last damn grosz"
that every one will be more than happy to taste... Hardly any of whom will be
more than welcome (Chris, feel invited to binge-drinking-spree-to-be :*).
Thirdly, as far
as I know myself and my Jewish skill, it will be heart-breaking to open the
bottles and empty them little by little. I already have a soft spot for each
and every centilitre ;) Have just started and already reached a dead end...?
No worries. By the time I get my fancy shaker to mix A Kick in the Crotch
and A Big Fat Monkey Kiss (Gosh! I will mix drinks even just 'cause of
their names), I will have employed a laid-back approach to drinking ;)

As for mixing and collecting, cannot see any problems.
Money is there, patience is there, new ideas are there. Although when I see how
many alcohol types I should be using to mix a proper Airhead (and, what type of alcohol is Razzmatzz? Google [a search engine and NOT a
browser] help!)…*
The completion is likely to take a lot of time, but time is money, which brings me
back to the money-is-there starting point.
Hey! It's a hobby, isn't it? And I don't expect my new hobby to finish soon. So far, I am bubbly every time I can buy a new bottle and my
choices are well-considered (whatever it means in this context) and mostly triggered** with what I can find in Mixology app
(https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mixology-drink-cocktail-recipes/id320926534?mt=8).

It gives me joy, smile and... tranquility (?). I've set myself a goal and every 75 (or 50) cl brings me closer to the success. Come to think of it, it actually misses the point of fun, so am I really good for it?
Be that as it may, soon you may need to subscribe to yet another blog... If you know what I mean :)

My blog (the name of which comes from web log :D) is not up
to UAM academic standards! It’s up to international human standards! Finally, I can read a bit which I feel like writing!
