An article in the WSJ covered nutritional content of alcoholic beverages today. Good article, actually, with some surprising results (Guinness has less carbs than bad American beers like Budweiser, for example).

However, this gem of modern idiocy was included:

Jayde Feinstein, a 22-year-old office manager in Los Angeles, dilutes the cranberry juice in her cranberry and vodka with a little water to limit her sugar and carbs. She also dilutes red wine with sparkling water to make sparkling wine. “It’s a brilliant way to minimize the carbs, but still get the same flavor you desire.”

Jayde? No.

I’m in that “nothing to lose” and “consequences matter not” mode right now. So if anyone needs a major felony committed, or a hugely humiliating task completed, or a 47 Ronin style suicide attack done, just let me know; I’m your guy!

Yours,

that Guy with Nothing to Lose

Why are people writing “scholarly” papers about elf sex in Tolkien’s world?

And where’s the Giant Orbiting Terraforming Space Lasers I obviously need in order to deal with problems like this?

I caffeinated at a Starbucks on 7th Avenue this morning. As I was awaiting my beverage, someone else’s White Chocolate Mocha Vanilla Syrup Extravaganza with Cremey-Ass Creme was set out and they hadn’t showed up yet.

As I watched, the pressure of the foam inside this beverage caused it to slowly spurt and bubble out about a tablespoon of creamy white warm sticky goo.

Now that’s a happy beverage.

I just ran into my friends Russ and Amy on Broadway and 51st in Manhattan. Hadn’t seen them in over ten years. Does this happen a lot here? Btw they live in Los Angeles.

Easy flight. It was the captain’s farewell flight after 25 years and his whole family was aboard. The airport fire dept did what is apparently the traditional sendoff; they sprayed the plane with water from both sides before takeoff.

Huge snafu with hotel on arrival, barely rescued by a Sherpa. Really.

Tomorrow I plan to get into trouble.

I’ll try to do this to any I see on my trip. Less frequent updates between now and Sunday, and mostly via Hiptop.

I’d like to bring a really inappropriate date to the “Suzie Wong” room. It’s got to be either bruisedhips or fattmike I think.

Of course for “Tranquility Base” it’d have to be realitylost. WE HAVE IGNITION BABY!!1!
