l’heure verte

Grande Absente. The green hour. And for me? Well, green means GO.

Yes, yes, yyyyyeeeeesssss...I do love the Absinthe. Imagine my delight when I found the ABC store here in Boone sold 100mL bottles for $10. A lot of money...but it goes a long way.

The original formula--the stuff all the great artists of the late 19th century would drink--is finally legal again! The wormwood, particularly, was the culprit of outlawization.

Outlawlization. What a word! It is finally kicking in...

As history tells it, French soldiers brought this magical elixer back from war to which it was met with many a warm welcome. It created such fervor in its consumers that it was quickly outlawed because all those stuffy hoity doity conservatives thought it was destroying their delicate social/political order.

Well, like all great things, it came BACK.
I take it a wonderful sign that my room is also green...



Man, I'm going to illegalize (where is this amazing vocab coming from?!) this shi' again...

So take advantage of it while you can.
