Crushtails

Kristine and I created a cocktail in honor of our new cruise ship crush, Aleksandar.

Are you guys trying to tell me that you don't create cocktails in honor of your crushes?

What a pack of weirdos.

Here's what you'll need to make your very own Aleksandar:

2 oz. Citron Vodka
1 oz. Chambord
Ginger Ale
ice
As many twisty straws as you can cram into a glass

This is pretty simple.  Add the vodka and chambord to a high ball glass of ice. Top off with as much ginger ale as you want (I prefer a lot because I like my alcohol to taste as little like alcohol as possible). And stick at least 3 twisty straws into your glass.

Ta-Da!  It's sweet. It's fun. It has rosy cheeks. It's impervious to sea sickness. AND it has the best dance moves this side of Montenegro.

Enjoy, kids... and don't worry because we have more cruise ship crush-inspired drink recipes on the way!

A Drawing I Did Instead of My Work

I have to half-ass it on the blogging front today because returning from vacation sends you into a black hole of never-ending piles of work compounded by a never-ending lack of motivation.

The lack of motivation thing is what is KILLING me right now.  Need some proof?

Weeell... let's just say that this is the most impressive thing I accomplished at work yesterday:

That's Aleksandar making toast for Kristine while thinking about her.  Look at his rosy little cheeks!

(Note: the Grand Cayman thing is a long, tragic story that might just break your heart to little pieces.  Basically, one day Aleksandar tried to disembark in Grand Cayman for the day, but he was #21 out of 20 crew members allowed to disembark so he couldn't go.  He seriously looked like Charlie Brown when he told us this story... it basically killed us.)

So this is all the blog I am capable of today.  I'll take to y'all kids later.
