nice work if you can get it

I have unrealistic standards. This sometimes proves to be a little overwhelming. 

I'm trying to detox today, but it's such beautiful weather for beer. Meanwhile, I only have red wine and one and a half bottles of whiskey in the house, and beggars can't be choosers eh? I have been recording a demo of a new song, and there are all these birds on Mary Street today which are making beautiful atmospheric background noise for me. Okay, red wine it is then. I can't really drink beer and sing anyway, unless you don't mind me burping mid-note (some people have found it funny in the past).
