slightly crapulent

[leedy]

I have a theory that you have only so many "Get Out Of Jail Free" cards vis a vis drinking on a school night, and I think I used up most of mine circa 1995. Bandmate's birthday yesterday + work today = rather bleary leedy.

I didn't actually drink all that much, as I only went to the party after choir finished at 10, but I still imbibed sufficient BEER that getting a falafel on the way home seemed like the best idea ever (mmm, fried stuff), and I got to sleep well past my bedtime. And I smoked a cigarette! Urgh.

In cheerier news, overheard in the park on the way to work this morning:

ELDERLY LADY (addressing recalcitrant spaniel): "Oh, all right then. YOU throw the ball and I'LL fetch it!"

I am feeling your pain somewhat. I remember with fondness the days I could go out on a school night and then spring out of bed the next morning feeling brilliant.

Ah, them were the days. I had a job in a bookshop once, and for the first year I was there I was always rostered to be in at 9am on Saturday. All my friends were either still in college or working Mon-Fri, and I frequently used to go out dancing and carousing with them on Friday night. I worked numerous Saturdays in the shop on two hours sleep and a restorative Lucozade and banana breakfast. In fact, *hangs head in shame*, I once went to work there straight from a party (which was, admittedly, a bit grim).

I think if I tried to do that now I would ACTUALLY DIE.

Ah no. That would be too easy. You'd want to die, but instead would suffer long, drawn-out pangs of falafel withdrawal and little burps that threatened to be something much worse.

I ate unconscionable amounts of licorice.

I feel quite ill this morning. And why am I awake?

And why am I awake?

Some CRUEL TRICK OF THE COSMOS, I'd say.

Poor you! I've had that law-of-the-increasing-hangover-on-diminishing-booze thing going on since I was about 23, and urgh. Just when one has MORE need to be presentable in the morning than one ever did in college - is that fair? Is that right? Is that REALLY part of the Lord's Great Plan? I try to persuade myself that it doesn't make me terribly middle-aged, that drink two nights running, but it seems to be the nature of the Modern Hangover to bring out insecurities of that sort.

Personally, I ALWAYS think falafel is a good idea. Mmmm. Maybe I'll go to the falafel restaurant tonight...

is that fair? Is that right?

It can't be, surely? Where's the complaints department?
