1. You're all about to lose your healthcare, if you haven't already. Contact the honorable Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah to find out what kind of trade-in for services you can get with your iPhone.
In the meantime, you may want to start drinking healthier. But you also need some vodka to drown your salty, salty tears in, so...
Makes 1 drink
2 oz, Vodka (keep it cheap, as you're going to have to pay for your own surgeries in the future) 2 oz. pineapple juice
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 sprig fresh tarragon (optional)
Place vodka, pineapple juice, lime juice, and agave nectar in a shaker with plenty of ice. Shake until you can't stand it anymore, then strain into a martini glass. Garnish with tarragon, which is supposed to be good for you or some shit (but not as good as free preventative medicine).
2. There was a Day Without Women strike yesterday, because apparently we still need to remember that we all rely on women sometimes, like say for our very existence. I was working along with a kick-ass woman composer in Laramie, but I did wear red.
