02/23/2004: "Wholesome behavior"

Been a little while since I blogged, I know. I've really got to start doing this more often. So my complaint for the moment is that I'm sitting here with a decent hangover-type headache despite having done nothing to deserve one. Yes, I did decide to try out Stone's limited edition Old Guardian Barleywine last night, which is most likely the cause. But my evening mainly consisted of eating soup and watching My Dinner with Andre, (a movie I really enjoyed by the way) which is hardly the sort of evening that I should be punished for. In general, I don't think an evening can be more wholesome than soup, bread, and a art film written by and starring Wallace Shawn.

Now, I was not only expecting, but even willing to feel bad after last week's bottle of shiraz and Interview with the Vampire evening. Such things I understand. If I were a believer in karma I would say that bottles of wine and vampire movies were certainly the sort of thing that must be atoned for the next day. But it seems that alcohol is no more a believer than I am, or else I would be feeling great today, happy and full of life and energy and thought, instead of exhausted, hopeless, barely conscious, and headache plagued. Ah well, c'est la vie, at least there's coffee.
