West-Side Report!

Part of the fun of moving is finding the local bar. The local bar to our place we found in Venice is our kitchen. There is a bar and its got dish soap on tap. That don't wet the whistle but cold beers in cans are available from the brand-new fridge, as is a freezer fulla ice and vodka. For fun we throw some Bocas in the micro and we get a light show cuz the 'lectricians put the appliances on the same circuit as the lights. yay! Someone's coming to sort it out next week.
Meanwhile, sort yrselves out here ...Tonight - Homestead.
It is the last Thursday of the month, which means the meeting of the minds with the always lovely and talented Johanna (and her drunken literary posse.)
Here's a gem from the wall calendar: Tomorrow is Christi Himmelfahrt Day. Christi. Himmel. Fahrt. I don't read the German but I can guess ...
bye-ee!

Naaaaah. He'll be posting once he gets an internet connectio .
Well, the TNSC Robot has departed for warmer climates, but it just dawned on me that the keys to the car were left behind. ALL of the keys. (Heh.) Granted there are different ones for the ignition, the trunk, and both doors.....but the set is intact. Let's roll!!!
Since we somehow skipped last Thursday (but Friday WAS a blow-out), I feel obligated to post a proper VA. Granted, it won't be filled with wit or mirth, but it will contain some vital information:
Bingo? YES!!!
EZ Listening? YES!!!
$2 Hamms Beer? Sure...why not?!?
No cover? Definitely.
Tonight - The Knockout.
Here's tonight's: Find the Reference!

Who can you trust?

It's always helpful to know different approaches to difficult situations. Like hangovers for example. Mebbe you've tried and tried but just can't find a way to alleviate the effects of yr fun the night before. I solicited five-or-so List Members and collected their "cures." Next time yr in a bind and gotta get up for 9am dailies (often in my case) or catch the early bus while feeling like hell try one of these:
Anonymous List Member 1.
Date of hangover: Damn....I really can't remember the "last" one.
Cure:
Water, aspirin, coffee (lots of it)
water, aspirin, coffee (spiked)
water, aspirin, coffee, bloody, beer
Effectiveness: Medium
Anonymous List Member 2.
Date of hangover: Specific date was April 29.
Cure: I alleviated it by brewing a large pot of coffee and slaughtering approximately 9,253 Nazis in a three-hour period. I also would ocassionally pet Dave Revis's dog, Heidi.
Effectiveness: High
Anonymous List Member 3.
Date of hangover: I guess it was during the 70's.
Cure: As well as I can remember, it just wore off with the passing of time. It involved headache and there was no playing the puke-a-lele.
Effectiveness: Low
Anonymous List Member 4.
Date of hangover: Last week.
Cure: Fried egg and bacon sandy, green or red GatorAde, TCPPWD (thin-crust pepperoni pizza well-done) Margarita on rocks w/ salt.
Effectiveness: Wishful thinking
Anonymous List Member 5.
Date of hangover: the last one that stands out is new year's eve. not drunk, but not well.
Cure: what i did to alleviate the symptom? grovel.
Effectiveness: n/a
Anonymous List Member 6.
Date of hangover: This Monday.
Cure: Went to work and had to grin and bare it. Soon as I got
off work I went and had a few slices of pizza and a couple shots and
beers.
Effectiveness: None
Anonymous List Member 6.
Date of hangover: it's the last time you were here, that saturday.. the worst hangover,
nothing could help.. or so I thought... I puked about four times on my empty stomach.. can I eat?, I should eat?.
Cure: ate a banana, puked it, but there are worse things to taste a second time than a banana. and then it was as though the sky split open, and the angels came floating down, and when they did they were in the form of my Man and he was holding bags of food... from Taco Bell. I had a chicken quesadilla-no sauce and a giant diet mystery soda (you know the ones that are so bad, they just taste like a mixture of soda flavors)
and I was semi cured..
Effectiveness: Semi
