" Oh green fairy
What you've done to me
There's a nothing in the sky
Waiting to get high
I went up for some milk
Three days ago
Now they crowd me in the street
You knock me off my feet
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah aha ha
Ah ah ah ha ah
Here's that romance...
Leaning toward her mind
Do you love
Like you love her
When you're gone
May today I got someone prettier than
I got the eyes of a mad man
I cannot run
How does it feel to live a life
Where nothing is real,
So just send me
Down the river
Pride and romance
Kill the one you love
Your mind.. makes you much older
Then you're gone
I am not gonna wait for tomorrow
I just sit back and wait for the sign
I am not gonna celebrate my freedom
So just send me down the river
Na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na
Oh green fairy
What you've done to me
There's a nothing in the sky
Waiting to get high
I went up for some milk
Three days ago
Now they crowd me in the street
You knock me off my feet
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah aha ha
Ah ah ah ha ah
Pride and romance
Give the one you love
Your mind
Makes you much older
Then you're gone
May today I got someone prettier than
I got the eyes of a mad man
I cannot run
How does it feel to live a life
Where nothing is real
So just send me
Down the river "

Poster for "Absinthe," 1913
Scanned from Silent Movies: The Birth of Film and the Triumph of Movie Culture
I know, it is a bit disturbing...
"My love's a star you only saw the traces of
What went before is not no more, it's the embers of
People always catching names too late
And we're all sorry there's no time to make the change
I could hear rebellion rising
I could feel the stars aligning
I could see the wave rising
But I never did seem to find my way back home
My love's a ball I threw to you
Once I was gone, you caught it too
Love ignored erodes in time, changes
shape, went and changed your mind
All I really needed was someone to take me home
Enough absinthe can crush your spirit to the bone
I could feel rebellion rising
I could hear the stars aligning
I could see the wave rising
But I never did seem to find my way back home"
- Absinthe, Beth Orton
Absinthe is a good restaurant and bar, that we tried a couple of years ago. We're actually headed for Nightbird, which is world class, with world class pricing.
The Chinese supermarket have a selection of different absinthes this year, so I've gone with the 85% strength black stuff >:D

Absinthe is strong alcoholic liqueur made with an herbal extract including wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). It is an emerald green drink (due to the presence of chlorophyll which is very bitter ) and is traditionally diluted with cold water which is poured over a perforated spoonful of sugar into a glass containing a shot of absinthe.
The drink then turns into an opaque white as the essential oils precipitate out of the alcoholic solution, forming a colloidal suspension.
In order to counter act his attacks of epilepsy, anxiety, and depression, Van Gogh drank absinthe. Thujone is the toxin in absinthe. Unfortunately, the Thujone worked against Van Gogh aggravating his epilepsy and manic depression. High doses of thujone can also cause one to see objects in yellow. Various physicians have differing opinions on whether or not this is what caused Van Gogh's affinity with yellow.
Don't ask me what got in to me head but I had to try absinthe this weekend. It is so great to live in a city that has absinthe bars. There are lots of them here. It was the photograph for this bar that had me sold, they used beautiful accessories... (And they let me take pictures!*) I went online and found: www.wormwoodsociety.org/ and stayed up way too late reading all about this mystical drink.
I wore my "Tinkerbell" earrings that my sister bought for me years ago and had Mark shoot a picture of them, she's in that shot...
Our Bartender suggested St. George Absinthe. It was a great first experience. It was better for me with more sugar. And it was beige so I had to add green tinting... ;P
From the Absinthe Society: "The botanical oils from the anise and fennel are readily dissolved in the high-proof alcohol during the distillation process, but do not mix with water. When absinthe is diluted with water and the alcohol-to-water ratio changes, the oils come out of solution with the alcohol to form a colloidal suspension (microscopic oil droplets) with the water, causing a beautiful cloudy effect, known as the “louche.” “Louche” is a French word (pronounced “loosh”) meaning variously, “turbulent” “troubled” and “cloudy.”"
