I’ll admit it…I’ve been drinking.

No, not tea-drinking, the “other” kind of drinking. It’s currently about 1AM, and I just got done with a two-pint night after an exceptionally crappy day. How crappy? Oh, one of those debt-looming, still-unemployed, hemorrhaging wallet sort of days. Closing the night off with one of my delectable sheng pu-erhs seemed like a wonderful nightcap. Fitting that this should be my last of this particular batch.

You might be wondering where the taster notes for this update are. Eh, I’ve done two others; you already know I love this stuff to death. It’s far more robust than the average sheng, but not overly robust like a shou pu-erh. I will miss it, heartily – like its taste.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a story about sex, drugs and spaceports to write.

EDIT: DONE! The story I was working on while drinking this: http://www.lazyliteratus.com/1750

I know…odd.

I know those days Geoffrey!
Best of luck, tomorrow’s a new day :)

I love your writing style – such a strong voice. I went back and now I’m reading everything and I can’t tear myself away!

@DaisyChubb: I can provide ’em as chapter links – in order – if you need to read them successively. One kinda tumbles into the other.

Bio

I moonlight as a procrastinating writer and daylight as a trader of jack. I appreciate good tea, good beer, and food that is bad for me. Someday I’ll write the great American novel. And it’ll probably have something to do with tea or beer…or both. In the meantime, I subsist.
