Living Liquid

As a fresh blog post is long overdue, I thought we could revisit a commitment to a liquid culture among villagers. To put some definition around this:

Guidelines for the Liquid Lifestyle

Participation is always optional. Encouragement among participants is appreciated.

All things liquid include:
Coffee
Wine
Bananas (no chewing involved if they're soft)
Cocktails !
Diet Coke
Yogurt
Grapes
Smoothies (blended items of one's choosing)
Tea
Soup (particularly of the non-chunky variety)
Soy milk (because protein is unfortunately still a necessity)
Oatmeal/Cream of wheat
Frosting
Almond butter + honey

Exceptions:
5 bites/day without restrictions of content or quality
Rob's cooking affairs
Taste testing new recipes
Cupcakes (sometimes)
Cheese n crackers (only when paired with wine!)

Favored manifestation of the lifestyle:
Coffee by day (preferably paired with the new york times), elixirs of the alcoholic variety by night, hearty soup for sustenance during breaks from works, and five (ish) bites for good measure.

Other additions?

gay guys and smoking and cussing... OH MY!!!

A man dies and because of his sinful life, he goes to hell. The Devil meets him at the gate and says, "I don't know what you heard up there, but it's really not that bad down here. Do you drink or smoke?""Yes!" says the man."Good!" says the Devil. "You'll love Thursdays! All we do is sit around and drink and smoke and there's no lung cancer and no hang-over in Hell! Do you like to swear?""Sure," says the man, "I swear a lot.""Excellent!" replied the Devil. "On Friday all we do is make up new cuss words! Now tell me something... Are you gay?""No..." says the man."Oh..." says the Devil, hesitantly. "You're going to HATE Saturdays."

Food poisoning is a great way to lose weight.

Hi people. Global warming has begun to take hold up here in the arctic circle; it hit 47 degrees ABOVE zero yesterday, at which point I turned off my heat and opened my windows. What a lovely way to exchange out all that already-breathed air. Already breathed by sicky me, over the course of a 16-hour fling with food poisoning, and by my oven and heaters, which were in overdrive creating a happy, too-hot hideaway for my rising bread dough.
Sometime, remind me to tell you the story about the Russianist who had to change her dissertation project when the archives she was going to use in Siberia collapsed into the thawing tundra due to global warming.
So, since Iceland and V-Day are rapidly approaching, what's the story, A.? And the Navy guy, B.? And all the various guys, and other small scandals in the village?
The foreign correspondent demands answers.
