#5 — parallel park

In San Francisco (at least), there is sympathy for the parallel parker. Even when the vehicle appears to have been owned for some time, San Franciscans will dutifully instruct a parallel parker who...

#6 — comstock lode

How many Gordon Comstock’s are there out amongst us? I speak, of course, of the protagonist in Orwell’s Keep the Aspidistra Flying. Comstock was an ad man who willingly ostracized himself from his...

#7 — tipsy?

It occurs to me that I should probably be drunker. I should point out that, despite several screwdrivers, whiskeys and Pilsners, I am still unfortunately coherent. I’m doing the best that I can. But...

#8 — further

I’m very impressed with Richard Powers’ The Time of Our Singing. He is concerned with virtue in wholly unanticipated ways. Whereas, I want to beat the hell out of Tom Wolfe’s cartoonish depiction of...

#9 — the male mind

8:50 PM: I am officially on Screwdriver Five (I think). I am also colliding iinto walls and it is heinously arduous for me to type in a fucking post. I hope for B’s sake that this isn’t considered...

#10 –collapse

Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve been fantastic. I can barely compose sentences. So this suggests (for me, anyway) that Drunken ______ is at an end. I am sloshed beyond compare and shall rest drunkenly....

NaDruWriNi: Another Preface

Since Jeff was thoughtful enough to provide a preface, I thought I’d offer my two sober bits well before the drinking. I believe all the necessary ingredients for the Burgess cocktail (Hangman’s Blood)...

#1 — The Burgess Cocktail

So, per the instructions, I prepared the Hangman’s Blood. This is one serious beverage. The taste is overpoweringly pungent and I cannot imagine anyone other than a drinker of Burgess’ hardy stature...

#2 — Rules?

And I just realized that I jumped the gun by about an hour here. All because I forgot to set my clock back an hour. Are there any game rules here? One drink per post?

#3 — Political Phone Calls

Shifting over to straight stout temporarily after getting my neck in the noose. Despite being out and about several times today for considerable durations of time, I have received twelve fucking phone...

#4 — battle royale ii

Now drinking the Korbel used to top off the Hangman’s Noose. I’ve watched a little bit of Battle Royale II and, based on the fifteen minutes I’ve seen so far, let’s just say that it’s not as...

#5 — served up

More champagne. I can dance! Anyway, Stennie’s picture here is similar to what awaits me in the kitchen. And Gwenda is posting ballads. Meanwhile, Jeff has a few side effects of his own. And please...

#6 — champagne

Folks, explain to me the following mystery. And it comes to me because champagne right now is the order of the evening. (Good Christ, is the bottle almost finished?) Sure, Arthur‘s a fine movie. One of...

#7 — a story

The divine Ms. Frye has challenged me to write a story with the following terms: “Christopher Cross,” “champagne,” “linoleum,” “Etruscan sculpture,” “werewolf” and “Australia cricket.” So here goes:...

#8 — a new podcast!

I learn from fellow NaDruWriNi participant Sci-Fi Ranter Girl that there’s some podcast called Sci-Fi Scoundrels. Will have to check it out. The bottle of champagne is gone. Now it’s Jack and Coke.

#9 — what now?

The champagne is gone, the whiskey is a go-going down my throat, and it appears that Mr. B himself has, at long last, entered the fray. After writing that linoleum story, I’ve been staring at the...

#10 — t-shirts

I am now wearing an Incredible Hulk t-shirt. This was simply because it was the nearest tee within arm’s reach. It appears to be a bit dirty. But no matter. I am doing laundry tomorrow. Of course,...

#11 — crack

Is this crack something to be worried about? Does it signify something? Is it reflective of the inevitable earthquake which is to come? Would you accept this crack? Or are cracks an inevitable side...

#12 — condensed dating history (past four months)

Stimulus: Signs of love, paying attention, affection, multifarious consideration of other person. Responses: A) You’re too old. (She was two years younger.) B) Consolation prize: something private and...

#13 — sick of drinking

Okay, that’s enough. I have no desire to drink any more alcohol. See you all next post in the sober and literary.

Postnadru

Although some agua was imbibed last night to soften the blow (thus hindering credence of this conclusion), here is the final verdict on the Hangman’s Blood: As Burgess reported, there is no hangover to...

#1: let the games begin

Hello and welcome to National Drunken Writing Night, where sentences are incoherent, thoughts are even more so, and bloggers have an excuse to sit around the house and drink. The sun is fading beyond...

#2: more drinks

One shot of Wild Turkey. And then I tried out a combination of bourbon, sweet vermouth and Coke. I don’t recommend this. It’s a mix only slightly more repellent than the Hangman’s Blood. So now I’m on...

#3: general observation

I think the chick on Torchwood is kinda hot, particularly (I’m not too ashamed to admit) when she wears one of those British police officer uniforms. The actress’s name is Eve Myles. And seeing as how...

As near as I can tell, nobody is drinking tonight, save the following people (what are you? wusses?): My Brilliant Mistakes BrockLi Soup Shade It’s enough to drive a man to drink. NaDruWriNi? Come on!

Well, good goddam, Mr. B. You, sir, are a noble individual. And this man, now on who knows how many drinks, salutes you and offers you the best possible succor under the circumstanes.
