I am definitely drinking more....but its all before dinner. I'm getting used to the 'making dinner and having a beer (or 2)', in addition to wine with dinner. But I rarely (maybe on friday night or satuday night) have something more after dinner.

Dave Brubeck “Take 5” just came on the iPod. Upon reflection that is perfectly timed accompaniment for my fourth large glass of wine in the last 35 minutes.

Good amount of veggies with the protein, not so unique you'd be tired by Day 3, not inherently heavy but can be as filling as you want by just eating more. I think its the right answer.

Confession- I’ve dreamed for a decade or more of wanting to hit the lottery and fly you my friends to Vegas for a weekend of hanging and then would give money for your kids colleges and what not. I am starting to realize I may
Never hit the lottery. That makes me sad. I am sorry. I am grateful for everyone on here.

Thread took a turn in adorableness.

I’ve absolutely been drinking more during lock-in. But not much beer, mostly gin and whisky. Got comments from my wife at some points earlier on, but I’ve continued to lose weight so they didn’t really land.

Holy shit am I drunk . It feels... right.

I get it now. I’ve spent five decades fearing this because of family history but ... this is... biceps. Nice . It’s nice. It’s nice not to be sad for a change. I am just sorry we can’t all be not sad together.

You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love
Never my love
You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never my love
Never my love
What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends
On you (on you)
Never my love
Never my love
You say you fear I'll change my mind
And I won't require you
Never my love
Never my love
How can you think love will end
When I've asked you to spend your whole life
With me (with me, with me)

Every time I see you in the world,
You always step to my girl
Back, back, way back
I used to front like Angkor Wat
Mechanicsburg, Anchorage, and Dar es Salaam
While home in New York
Was champagne and disco
Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco
But actually Oakland and not Alameda
Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader
Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman
I was a hoarder but girl that was back then
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
Every time I see you in the world,
You always step to my girl
Ancestors told me that their girl was better
She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather
I just ignored all the tales of a past life
Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
And punks who would laugh when they saw us together
Well they didn't know how to dress for the weather
I can still see them there, huddled on Astor
Snow falling slow to the sound of the master
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it for youth
Age is an honor -- it's still not the truth
We saw the stars when they hid from the world
You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl
Maybe she's gone, and I can't resurrect her
The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
We know the true death -- the true way of all flesh
Everyone's dying, but girl -- you're not old yet
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
Every time I see you in the world,
You always step to my girl

Am I on my depressed playlist while drinking bottles of red wine? Mayyyyybbbeeez.’m

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

I saw this 1 minute after learning Hop Hing reopened today!!! They closed a couple days before the lockdown. Still my go-to Chinese, as they have the best soups.

Just reminded of a story I meant to post in the irony thread. Hop Hing is the best (worst?) at the stereotype of Chinese restaurant employees screaming at each other. Every time I call, I'm amazed they get the order correct. Either an old man or woman who seem like they don't understand a word I'm saying, and they will start screaming at people while you give your order. I used to pause, and she'd get pissy with me saying she was listening. A couple times I've asked her to repeat the order, because I think there is no way she got it right. She just screams that she got it right. At some point they hired a white girl, about college aged. Super sweet phone manners. First time she takes my order I think, wow, that was so pleasant and I know she understood me. Pick up the order, half the dishes are wrong.
