Igirisu gin

Heavy week. Taught 6 days worth of lessons in a 5 day work week. Reached boiling point, only release alcohol.

Nursing a heavy head. Warmed the day with a noon glass of wine. Must repeat.

Fortunate to watch a late 70s documentary featuring the reluctant Ralph Steadman and Hunter S Thompson. It seems like they've both been bullied into the act by a cash strapped BBC film crew. Ralph is retiring but as the only straight protagonist is pushed to the fore in an attempt to find the real Thompson.

Heart ripping. It shows nearly 30 years ago why the big man ended it all with a handgun last year. With everyone expecting to meet Raul Duke, Hunter found it difficult to reconcile his fictional creation with his true self. Something he never solved, and ended up a washed out drunk.

I'm seeding the torrent myself so download it here for a great insight into the big man.
