The allure of absinthe has me in its seductive grip. I've now tried two brands, or really only one, called "Lucid." It's magnificent! The other one is pictured and is not absinthe. It doesn't louche. Tastes, literally like Scope mouthwash, and is artificially colored and sweetened. Yuck. Can I say more? But, as can be seen, isn't the bottle cool?

BOTTLED MADNESS
The masks we wear have become so ingrained that we don’t even know that we are wearing them.
Remember Elenor Rigby? Wearing a mask that she keeps in a jar by the door. Who is it for?
The Frida Kahlo painting I dislike the most, and that’s saying a lot because I LOVE Frida, is one called “The Mask.” Hayden Herrera describes it thus: “In The Mask Frida hides behind a weeping purple-haired mask that expresses her feelings of craziness. The disjunction between the masked and the real Frida is more disconcerting than in other self-portraits, because here the real Frida watches us through holes in the mask’s eyes.”
And so, I’ve decided to let you, the reader, watch me, the writer, through your anonymous mask of the Internet, as I unveil, LUPUS: and the emerald witch.
Rules to follow.

EAST GARRISON'S GONE OVER THE BORDER
That's right! East Garrison is now available in Santa Cruz County at the bookstore Capitola Book Cafe! Stop by their awesome store, have a cup of java, and marvel at their calendar of events. They're located at 1475 - 41st Avenue Capitola CA 95010, at the corner of 41st Ave. (off Hwy 1) and Capitola Road.
Of course, you can always go online and order a copy from one of a hundred places, but there's nothing like experiencing a local bookstore. I also encourage everyone to support their local businesses.
