absinthe
typhoid absinthe makes the heart grow fonder...
it's like being drunk in 30 seconds. and you just need a touch on your lips.
and it's this crazy green color.
and smells kinda like mint.

gwyllynne after mmany strange nights I learned that.....yes, in fact, your eyes do take on a green tint after drinking a certain amount...I cannot remember the amount but I will never forget the lovely lady who made the sweet delight....we drank and laughed and roasted marshmallows ....strange how the slippery touch of the green fairy and those crazy beautiful hues....like greenish-pink-purple.....always seems to make me wanna roast some fluffy marshmallows....those were the "good-ol-days" the days of paradise lost....to feel those energies swirled together and all the happy faces ..... creating our own world.....but sadly, as experience teaches you, all good things must come to an end....but you better believe I will hop right back on that bus the next time it blows through my world....slightly changed...evolved 000814

unhinged prague, praha, praga

so many names for one place. it's still beautiful there though

i remember watching the dark mysterious punk boy reading his book eating my european lunch. or driving around the countryside in the bus from city to city on our way to play another concert doing the stupidest shit between naps the way high school kids are wont to do. it was a weird time in current events, kosovo just getting heated up and all the europeans really disliking americans. we saw so many anti-nato rallies while we were there.

i remember stopping in this place to eat lunch; huge cafeteria type place; and all 90 or so of us filling up the place and making it so crowded and one of the cello players talking about how she needed to find and buy some absinthe for some of her friends back home because they had given her money to pick some up. so many of us bought alcohol on the premise that it was a gift and went to the hotel at night to get wasted. the first time i ever drank, the first time i ever smoked cigarettes it was with wendy in vienna and budapest....

it wasn't so much the big overwhelmingness of it that i remember...just the little things...looking for absinthe...all the cool things on the vendor bridge...the caverns...the way the breeze blew on my face...austria does really look the way it does in the sound of music...go to eisenstadt...then you'll see

kaibutsu Absinthe is the first drink I got drunk on. Not that first time, but some other night I ended up staring at a ceiling for six hours as the stuff burnt hell in my belly. A quarter of a liter, maybe? The sun crept up across the wall, and the day was in full force by the time I could finally fall asleep.

I drank a bit less of the stuff after that, settling for milder fare. Like whisky.

pipedream what we will drink when we live in our garret, watching the sun go down and weaving our art into each other. if we weren't teetotal, apart and rich.or meant to live anywhere together, or other similar little details. 040307

pete please never try to make it in the corner of your residence room in an old ice tea bottle.. it will taste like cold blooded murder if you do.. from experience i speak.. 040308
...
Substance After 250ml, "praps i shudn drin anymore"
After half a litre, "i cant see the leafs, only the spaces between"
After half a litre and a shot, "Griff are you ok, your eyes are looking strange, a little greener than usual"

The next two weeks involved many strange and very green dreams. Try it you might like it. Almost as good as sex.

Now sex after absinthe is better than sex.

oldephebe wasn't that the lubricatory agent of all those black chapeau clad existentialists? sepulchrally thin and ashen..blithely smoking and hence injestingthe industrial exhaust potency of francophone ciagarette's, unwinding these interminable oral (but probably rehearsed) manuscripts of "why i am even more bleak and ostensibly pridelessly existential than you, and i've got the most depleted and yet dissafected posture...my eyes say i've been to the abstract edge of it all..so i'm spurning concreteness for these expeditions into and or away from the hardness, the post world war two francophone conscience..how do we absolve ourselves..how do we legitimize craven complicity with the survival instinct and the anti-semitism that was exposed..slumbering beneath all of the so called culture and civilization..? and yet still retain the arrogant and aloof francophone mindset and somehow accept being grateful for the barbarians from america..the bastard child of our worst worst foe great britain..?"

oldephebe now..was THAT artless? and why do i care? 040329

oldephebe not neccessarily me - *morphes seamlessly from what by all accounts and appearnces resembles a gasoline exudate on the floor..(but then of course not able to replicate the exact chemical composites..the exudate doesn't have the added olfactory agent..for you know safety..)so still morphes into your not so friendly nieghboorhood philly cop..maniacally stoic-well really a rictus of intensity that resembles a schizophrenic or at least menapausal and or rampant pre-menstral preamble facial tick to psychotic rage kind of an expression..that needless to say..okay so then procures a pack of lucky strike cigarette's somehow..deftly with like one hand liberates carcinogenic cylinder from pack and you know lights up and takes two deep drags..tosses it on the ground and has the environmental conscience to absently extinguish it with his heel and then fractally "falls" apart...*

her royal highness the quirk absinthe is some interesting stuff. my friend smuggled some in from prague especially for a trombone party last year. that night i was already way too drunk. i definitely blacked out. and the funny part was that was the first time i'd had any alcohol to speak of.

i'd kinda like to try it again without being so drunk first.

oE i watched "crossing jordan" the other night..and given the plot...i'm betting the writer or writers paid a few visits to this site...

how's THAT for faciley/poorly constructed rationale, a neon fallacy hemoraging inexactitude and hazy empiricle and or factual and or analytical expository...

still though...i think the writer(s) may have skipped by this site...

(and somewhere katy pearshall is cringing or beaming or blithely aloof in her what must surely be by now a brittle facade of fading and yet rigorously maintained beauty..).

(don't kill me i know my french is crappy).
we went to the eagle eye lounge this time in york. but it was overrated and expensive, and we didn't drink absinthe there, although that was the original point.
