a fantastic drunk
Years ago I'd meet up with Rippy, Chris Thorn, and Greg Vagen every Tuesday night to get drunk and watch Buffy. These fine gentlemen taught me that few things are more enjoyable than getting wasted while watching well-written sci-fi/fantasy tv. The tradition laid dormant for a couple years, as for a while there were no such shows I gave a shit about. Last year I got back in the habit with Lost, though, and Wednesday night quickly became my preferred worknight for getting totally shit-faced. Last year I'd head straight from the train to Marty's on the corner of Harvard and Commonwealth, and pick up a couple bottles of Sam Smith's for five bucks. Since moving to Somerville, Liquor World has become my dealer of choice, and even though their store is maybe a third the size of Marty's, they have a more satisfying beer selection. They keep everything chilled, including the fancy-ass import and craft stuff, which Marty's mostly keeps shelved out on the floor. But so tonight I'm thinking of picking up a bottle of something nice, maybe one of those Harpoon 100 Barrel deals, or the old favorite, Three Philosophers. Any suggestions?
