    A Drunken Thread For When You're A Drunken

    or...what if you did a 1/2-ish point of molly ahead of a first date (for confidence and affability...just getting back out in this world)...and then the date went miserably and you're up for like another 3 hours nursing a Fernet. safe space? hypothetically, of course...

    Rank The Songs Of Your Favorite Albums

    makes sense. I LOVE I Am Easy to Find. it's probably my second favorite album after Boxer...and I wonder how much memory and nostalgia play in that ranking...like, if I heard them all straight through for the first time today would I still rate Boxer highest?
