The Thing of Today #9

So I’ve been trying to find the right combination of tobacco, filters and rolling papers. And I ran into an ad for these online so I thought I’d try them out.

They’re unbleached, they taste fine and they’re slightly bigger than regular papers making them easier to roll with the big filters.

The weird thing though? They’re marked vegan. There’s meat in the regular papers? Heh.

I’m just going to let the contents after the jump speak for themselves. Brace for Epic.

Another Monday

It sucks being broke, but on the plus side, I’ve discovered that a 25g pack of rolling tobacco will last me at least 4 days, so that’s a serious saving on my smoking habit. I am very partial to a nice pack of ready made Mayfair, but they cost 1 euro less, and last half that time. So it’s a toss up really: More effort for longer lasting cigarettes, or more expensive but more convenient. I shall run some more tests.

Slim pickings today, everyone was out of money so we sat around for most of the day eating biscuits, cans of fruit, pasta and whatever else wasn’t nailed down. Senan came round again, and God bless him he brought some rolling tobacco and shared like a champion.

Next time you’re up Senan, I’ll get you a pouch.

Man… my neck looks long. And hairy. I think I’ll get a makeover this week.

January 31st – Party time

Ok so here’s the story. We had planned to go to Derry, meet up with Becky (Pictured later) and head out to the pub with her, and any of her friends that had decided to arrive. The details she handed out, we’re slightly sketchy.

However, when alcohol started being passed around… and cigarettes were abundant, when the music started being turned up, and there was a pistachio shell fight… it seemed very unlikely that we were going to leave the house. So we all settled in, drank ourselves silly and had a fantastic old time.

And I got pictures.

Thomas and Mary (And sort of Becky, right side of frame)

Stu and Lorraine. Might not be Lorraine… I’ll check it out and let you know.

More drunken madness after the jump. Its totally worth it.

Becky, our wonderful host, and Sinead.

That’d be me. Being the obligatory madman.
…Hey at least it’s in focus alright?

This is John the physicist. We talked about Schroedinger’s Mother. It was hilarious.

Who says gingers can’t be hardcore?

My hat got passed around a lot.

Taking hand rolled cigarettes to a whole new level. There was a VHS box stuffed with tobacco.

And then when everyone had pottered off to bed, and wandered off home: Sin, Mary and I slept on Air mattresses and giggled ourselves to sleep. It was a brilliant night out. Except for the fact that I got bitten by a ferret. He was cute though.
