xraytheenforcerUpdate on the Apartment o' Death: still sleeping on the couch. Attempted to sleep in the designated bedroom, lasted 30 minutes until first asthma attack, gave up the ghost and crashed on the futon. After 3 hours of heaving, retching and wheezing. WTF? Thank the gods for the Intarrwebs and the delicious distraction it provides.
Attempted all kinds of cocktail mayhem this weekend. I made a variation of a Maiden's Blush, but with a splash of Lillet, and a bit more grenadine than usual. Delightful. We're still working on the Gentleman Bastard -- using cognac as a base is a fucking pain. Nothing goes with it. We tried a cognac + benedictine + Lillet....no love.
But, a post needs a recipe. Soon, I'll be posting all of our X-class Inventions in one post. So you can see just how crappy our tastebuds are! Until then:
The Maiden's Blush**
2 oz gin
3/4 oz cointreau
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
grenadine to taste
Shake over ice. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Laugh at how far from a maiden you are, at this point in your life. Fornicate.
**I jacked up this cocktail to include:
1/2 oz of Lillet Blonde
1/2 oz grenadine
Being teh 1337 scientist I am, I spent a lot of time in the bedroom on Saturday (yes, and....yes. there was sleep involved, too, yeh pervs)...and no asthma attack. So either I am a fucking insane jackass, or there's something wrong only at night. Rodents? Cockroaches? Me? who knows.
In any case, I rocked it on the sofa last night. Everything seems right with the world, except for that. Who knows...I am weird enough that I may just sleep in the living room until we move out...3 years from now. Aside from the crypto-poison, this place r0xx0rs.

Date: 2006-07-31 05:27 pm (UTC)I'm trying to recall just what is so bad about bed-bugs aside from the fact that they FEED ON YOUR BLOOD, that is. And they have a DISGUSTING means of reproduction (from the female POV). Apart from that, I'm thinking that they don't really generate much of an allergic response. House dust mites on the other hand are complete bastards in this regard and must be killed by washing all bedding and soft furnishings at 60 degrees C. In fact, don't even HAVE soft furnishings - that'll teach the little bastards.
