I once tried a glass of Everclear mixed with Mountain Dew (back in my formative years).

It was completely disgusting, but by the time I had gotten to the Everclear, I was already blitzed on a large amount of vodka, and so it was actually sort of delicious.

The thing that really surprised me was the amount of ethanol in a bottle of Everclear, or should I say, the amount of water in a bottle of Everclear. Everclear is 190 proof, or 95% ethanol. It's basically like a little bit of water dissolved in alcohol.

So, you can imagine I was pretty wasted. I also was not able to keep most of it in my stomach for very long and ended up putting most of it into my friend's toilet.

But this entry has nothing to do with alcohol.

I was eating at Pastini tonight and noticed that the dude sitting next to us was dressed like a rock star. He had bleached hair, goatee, fancy glasses, and some tattoos. He just had this air of a rock star about thim. And he looked kind of familiar.

And then it hit me. He looked like the guy from Everclear (the band), Art Alexakis.

Of course, my camera is still in the shop and I didn't get any shots of him like I did of Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit) in Los Angeles. However, it was still neat to sit in such close proximity to a rock star.

What's even funnier is that when I was in a band with two other classmates from medical school, "I Will Buy You a New Life" from So Much for the Afterglow was the first song we ever tried to record (on my Dad's defunct Karaoke machine).

I always thought the West Hills mentioned in the song were in LA. I guess they're in Portland.

And so ends another photographless, pointless entry.

I hope my camera gets back from Nikon soon.
