I have a friend whose central hobby is making elaborate mixed drinks and collecting obscure liquers. Thanks to this post, I just spent 10 minutes figuring out how to get a bottle of this shipped to me so I can gift it. Fistbump.

Often, yeah. I think 20 from now seems hand-wave-ably abstract, but the feeling of time between now and a movie you remember well transposes quite well into something more temporally palpable.
