Well I just learned I was approved for a Federal Ford Direct Loan, partially subsidized. This means I would have to pay interest on a portion of the loan as a student, and the rest would draw interest upon graduation. On top of that I did receive a little bit of aid via the Pell Grant. Not a lot, but every bit helps. With the...

i'm proud of you, for putting forward the work to get all this hooked up. good for you, hon! i know the money business was weighing on you.

Hell yes man!
Dear government,
Thanks for hosing me on grants despite my qualifications and status as a returning student. I also love how you'll give me even less if I have to reduce my classes to free up time for employment in which to pay for the school and other things like not being homeless. Awesome job guys. Awesome.
I'm starting to think this all may have...

It wouldn't go into gear. I reversed out of the driveway, then tried switching to drive, and got that awful vroom spinning noise. I slowly was able to get it parked in front of the house. I dearly hope that they don't try to charge me for whatever they need to do. I'll have to turn on the bitch vibe if they do.
I'm both horrified and amused that this movie exists.

Do you know what your tube meat was missing?
A side of my Golden Apple mash... yup... that's right.
Damned me for living in southern California, where everyone attempts to be skinny and bacon is looked at like fatness on a plate.
Humph. I mean, I do use half and half these days instead of cream in my potatoes... that's a step in the right direction, isn't it?

I don't delete my hopezilla requests. I leave 'em to rot in the queue. Keeps 'em from becoming repeat offenders.
I'm up and starting the beer already. As stated before I'm making a Saison, which is a Belgian style made for hard workers to guzzle on hot summer days. A very basic grist composed of pale, pilsener, caravienne, and biscuit malts. This was going to be it but last night, possibly while intoxicated, I found a bag of unopened forbidden rice in the cupboard. Rice,...

But still. I like the idea. Mmm. Forbidden rice.
energychannel:
Just mountains of tomatoes.
Once upon a time, god knows how many years ago, in the French speaking part of Belgium, the farmers were busting their asses and pounding a kind of beer called Saison. Tolerable in alcohol, dry, and refreshing is the key to the style. The yeast lends fruity and peppery flavors. And of course they are notorious for being assholes to ferment right. Gotta start low...

I bought ground beef at the local hippie co-op because I didn't want to make two trips. The skinny hipster dude with the white belt looked at me like I was buying German shit porn. Awk-ward.

We will have to make strawberry ice cream next visit with buttermilk and grand marnier.

I have yet to click the second spoiler, but I can assure you I am totally on board with you.
The black lager fermenting downstairs is pissing me off. It's already vented the contents of its airlock once and popped the top seal of the fermenter once. I might have to weight the lid so it doesn't explode. I can't wait to put it in my belly. A week in primary, then probably another to condition, then into the bottle. Another two to carbonate and...
