I noticed that MYBLOGLOG had been updated while drinking DANZKA.

We can tentatively define this writing style as the Halley Comet Style. It's a metaphor for when you're brainstorming content for a blog post and start with some material, but then veer off into more abstract and intangible topics, becoming increasingly scattered and out of control. From the perspective of the comet’s tail, all that remains visible is a hazy cloud of gas. Even if you look at it head-on from the front, all you see is an indistinct lump hurtling toward you—there's nothing beautiful about it.

Today's article is about: drinking DANZAK VODKA and noticing that MyBlogLog has been updated. A friend came back from a border crossing, sat in my office, and we were bullshitting with each other when he suddenly asked me if I liked VODKA. Without giving it much thought, I casually replied, "Sure, sure, I like it." He then pulled out his phone from his pocket and made a call to his driver: "Bring me that aluminum bottle of liquor from the warehouse and also that long-necked, big-bellied bottle." I perked up upon hearing this and shouted into the phone, "Bring the round-bellied bottle too!" My friend understood what I meant and quickly explained to the driver, "You don't need to bring the round-bellied one; just bring the aluminum bottle and the big-bellied one."
