ever had a cold and your taste buds go to shit? that’s me right now. I’m trying to get through a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale (a personal favorite) and it tastes like crap. Actually, I can’t bloody taste it at all. I think the only thing keeping me sipping the dark brown liquid is my memory of what it does taste like.

Sad existence when my Saturday drinking is subject to prior taste experiences. Even my cigarettes taste of fresh air… mixed with phlegm.

Ugh.
