I'd tell my brother, but then I'd have to, y'know, talk to him.

Yeah, "Strawberry" somehow manages to be the least offensive word in "Redd's Strawberry Ale"

I'll have to rewatch it, then. I forgot everything that isn't fantasy.

Speak for yourself, oh ye of little imagination.

Rangpur's not bad, but ever since I discovered grapefruit g&t's I've had a really hard time going back to lime. Blood orange also works quite well.

I've got a bunch of stuff going on this summer, and it's all pretty great. A few light vacations, but nothing that involves a plane; the family's coming out to DC to meet the (future) Mrs. Rookee, and I finally have a backyard where I can grill and drink and not have to fend off feral cats. Thanks, universe, for a…

I'm newly at the "giving a little bit of a shit about my job" place, since I just had an interview process fall through. Here's hoping you don't have to occupy the same place - it's rough.
