Happy new year?

It has taken me about five days to write that post. I did what a lot of people do when a new year is about to begin: I started drinking alcohol. The body of an extraterrestrial like me is very tough. It has to endure time and space travel. So I tested it with different ingredients. Beer worked well. I popped about ten bottles of brewskies. Then I moved to wine. Two litres worked well, then my body asked for stronger stuff. I did some Japanese sake, for God's sake, moved on to Vodka and ended 2008 with a bottle of Scotch Single Malt Whisky called Ardbeg. It worked fine. Then I woke up, deep into 2009. I wasn't able to move, my head was whizzing as though as five billlion bees were crossing my brain and when I opened my eyes everything seemed double, later on even triple or quadruple. Somebody fed me salmon and salt. Slowly I recovered only to notice that this was just the beginning of a whole bunch of New Years celebrations. To name a few: Eastern Orthodox on 14 January, Chinese 26 January, Tibet 25 February, Sikh 14 March, Bahai and Iran 25 March,... it will be interesting if my alien body will get used to Earth's flabbergasting flavors of alcohol.
