A Smattering of Updates
Man I am TIREDT. We've gotten busy with deaths and I have to deal with a 5-hours-or-more funeral tomorrow, on what was supposed to be my day off.
I had to babysit an ENTIRE FUNERAL HOME that was not the one I work at, but similarly owned by my employer, while the director was gone. For about 3.5 hours I sat there and looked at Jojo's Bizarre Adventure memes. No families came in, no calls, just me and the empty funeral home. It's a narrow two-story building that likely used to be a house, and when everyone is downstairs, footsteps are heard upstairs. When I'm upstairs, I hear stuff downstairs. It scares some of the workers, but for me, I mostly get annoyed because I assume someone came in and I didn't hear the doorbell. When I was locking up for the night and turning off all the lights, an alarm went off in the morgue so I had to run back and hope that the Return of the Living Dead wasn't playing out in the funeral home. VERY FUNNY, GHOSTS.
I got a nightstand on sale and I love it, I finally have a place to put the books I read before bed. If only I had a lamp to put on it ... I may take pictures if I can find one.
A few nights ago Alex and I made some prohibition cocktails and they were gooooood... I had "The Last Word", which is mostly gin and green chartreuse. It was a delightful celadon green, and I sucked it down very quickly. It's going to be on our cocktail list for the prohibition party!
This post isn't super exciting because nothing fun has really happening, my life has just been studying :(

What does chartreuse taste like? I keep trying for a green cocktail, but I hate licorice, and hate mint, and Midori is way too sweet for my tastes...

Chartreuse is very botanical, it's a little licorice-y, but it's bright and herby. It's hard to explain, it's not sweet ... I would never drink it straight, but as a mixer it's great.

A prohibition party sounds like a lot of fun. I can't drink these days, but I'm fascinated by some of the old cocktails. They certainly sound interesting.

They're a lot of fun! Alex used to be a bartender so he loves to learn about alcohol, how it was made, things like that. I just think they look good, I don't drink much myself, and if I do, it has to be sweet. I'll never be a scotch or whiskey man lol
