Drying out

nother dry spell is in order at this point in my life, I believe, though this one will no doubt be shorter than the year and a half Pancho and I went without booze a few years ago. One of Seamus's friends is doing a thing they call "Sob-uary" (Sober January) and hasnt had a drop all month. Ive decided to not drink until Seamus's birthday on February 4th (and - who knows - maybe longer).

Boozing is making it exceedingly hard to stay focused on school and its making it nearly impossible to drag my ass out of bed for my 8am class. After partying down until the very wee hours over the weekend, my body is begging for a break and I cant afford to deprive it of one. If I can figure out how to play pool without drinking I may go on a lengthier booze hiatus, or at least restrict the drinking to very few occasions. At any rate, Im no spring chicken anymore and I cant be losing entire days to hangovers when I need to be studying. It just aint cool. Besides, I quite enjoy sober stuff - I think drinking excessively during the winter months in Portland is kind-of something the kids do to pass the time, and its not really necessary.

So, is everyone excited for the final season of LOST?! I personally cannot fucking WAIT. Its my duty to get Seamus caught up on last season before this one starts, so I am going to impose a strict LOST regimen that will bring him up to speed in time.

Also, lets dont forget about The Jersey Shore finale. Will there be a season 2? Im torn about whether I want one or not...
