Yes indeed. My beloved Wife is on a so-called business-outing (oh these young rascals!), which means I´m alone at home for the night and the remainder of the day, which means I´m sitting naked (nekkid!) by the laptop, sipping chinese Vodkatinis (dry Vodkatini with tangerine juice - the rage in Hamburg these days) watching my monday cartoons and smoking egyptian cigarettes. Just another monday afternoon, really.
Nothing out of the ordinary, one might say.
But in the middle of this weeks Simpson episode (grab the torrent at eztv.it, it's really good!) when I had a good laugh at some good Homer-and-the-kids stuff I suddenly realized where this Blog was heading and I did not like it.
I never wanted to explain stuff about China (free market is not equal to democracy) or why the UssR helped to keep Capitalism more humane -the Sovjet´s only working piece of propaganda was that everybody had a job and nobody starved, so we had to invent ways to keep people from starving and we also had to take care of the unemployed, make it look less bad, and in Germany which was centerstage these social security standards used to be the highest of the world, except for the scandinavian countries, but they had to work more and also the booze was more expensive and oh my god I´m right in the middle of doing it again!
Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick!
My therapist was right! I do need more therapie, and, possibly, a straightjacket.
Too bad she killed herself.
As I am writing these lines I am itching to explain to you that Germany during the Kaiserreich, which ended in World War I, was the first fully functional modern capitalist Country.They weren't the first to try - England and it´s rebellious little colony are the pioneers, but Germany really got the horrorshow to roll, and I´m doing it again.
Damn you Tom Robbins, damn you Hunter Stockton Thompson and damn you Aleister Crowley!
Damn your for always pontificating and damn you for tempting me into it!
This was supposed to be a celebration of the final days, a decent way to go down, a final salute before all is lost, and all we get is nagging, hindsight and boring speeches?
Oh no.Nooooooooooo!
Ok. Time out.
We obviously need to rest and regroup here. To look on the bright side, this entry is not a complete loss.
It does contain the recipe for the Chinese Vodkatini, so you got something to raise your status at the local speak-easy or Fluesterbar, as we say in Hamburg. (Actually, it´s not ue but the u with the little dots on top, but your codepage can´t handle it. ü ä ö <- See? Dotted u,a and o.)
Never mind. Go out, buy some dry Vermouth, triple distilled Vodka and some tangerines. Fill the shaker with 3 parts vodka, 2 parts dry Vermouth and 2-3 parts Tangerine juice. Add ice, stir, sieve into a Martini glass.
Squirt some Tangerine peel at the surface of the drink. Add one marschino cherry if you are a lady or a poof.
Enjoy.
