Their habit is a vector of endless chaos." Sounds like my life in a nutshell too.

Maybe tipsy and dizzy, but not drunk the way Floyd Maquina and Nick Valentine can be. You're the terrace-and-friends kind, which is cool. I'd have to see you in an altered state to draw further conclusions.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11483490020980574428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304920138891211736.post-11075550051736549932012-10-08T18:35:07.514-04:002012-10-08T18:35:07.514-04:00OK, let's test out that theory. I'm a Kill...OK, let's test out that theory. I'm a Killean's Irish Beer drinker... and when that's not available I'm a seasonal Sam Adams fan. So who am I?<br /><br />Also, I am totally checking out that book! A crime novel on meth? Sounds like a great hook to me!TNBBC Super Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153016306489908880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304920138891211736.post-41930046833322199252012-10-08T11:25:07.565-04:002012-10-08T11:25:07.565-04:00Boozing is such an underrated element in fiction. ...Boozing is such an underrated element in fiction. Tell me what you drink and how you drink, I will tell you who you are. Andrez's drinkers are amazing. Their habit is a vector of endless chaos.<br /><br />But the greatest single boozer character I've come across is Matthew McBride's Nick Valentine. By the way, Lori, put that in your TBR "Frank Sinatra in a Blender" by Matt McBride. I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11483490020980574428noreply@blogger.com
