Screaming Bean |
Wednesday, December 29, 2004
As you know, I turned thirty nearly two weeks ago. You begin to wonder, do I actually look thirty? What about me says, "Beanie is 30." I shouldn't have been so quick to judge. In my trip to the liquor store today I purchased a small bottle of Irish Creme liquor and a bottle of late-harvest riesling. I had been wandering about the store for a while, these weren't impulse purchases. Upon taking the bottles to the counter, the cashier greeted me, looked me hard in the eye (to which I met her gaze) and proceeded to card me. I haven't been carded in a liquor store in about 5 years. I haven't been carded in a restaurant in nearly as many years. The last time I was carded was buying beer in a supermarket, and that's only because they have to put your birth date in the register to continue the purchase. Yup, Beanie's a hard drinking youngin. Damn straight.
