Wait, you *haven't* been drinking your way through the book? I thought the agreed upon rules were:

One drink for every set of ellipses ...
One shot for every declarative sentence than ends in a question mark?
Three shots for every time Maxine notices a man with an improbable erection

—Quail

PS: If you are dedicated you can get Zima. I hear there's a secret warehouse of the stuff out in New Jersey, very hush-hush...

    This is the point at which we were going to discuss planning. I’ve never
    been that much of a planner.

    It did occur to me that I ran out of inspiration a couple of days ago right
    after I ran out of Crown Royal (-; even with the minuscule size of drinks I
    make it doesn’t last forever.

    Can’t get Zima I don’t think … but

    I suggest we drink our way thru the book. This will temper any urgency
    about time, or should in theory, as well as loosen the bindings of
    inspiration.

    I’m getting the makings for Papa Dobles in a few hours, and will be writing
    more while making and consuming a Lilliputian size of those. Strictly for
    bibliophile purposes.
