I just got my power back on after nine damn hours. And if you thought your toilet seat was cold first thing in the morning I got ya beat.
dempsey:
Reminds me of a few years ago... the power went out a few days before new years (luckily I was out of town) and for some people it stayed out for 3 days. In Utah. In the freezing ass winter. I talked to a few friends who had power out that long, and they said they just started taking stuff out of the fridge and sticking it in the snow mounds in their backyard.

Sometimes I want to run away from home. I'd make a killer hobo.

Yes, but in return you're subjecting yourself to a lifetime of 2 am calls listening to me cry about how much I hate my life.

Fine with me, but you're the one that has to tell him.

I just peeked into my primary fermentor for a second to monitor my beastly brew. Still fermenting six days after pitching. It reeks of dark malt and munich, with strong overtones of caramel and raisins. Slightly bready too so it's still producing alcohol and the gravity is dropping. 10% abv here I come.

In other news the fact that an adaptation of Mathesons' "I Am...

oh my god, that was genius. mmmmm... bruschetta.

This one is by far my fav, based on the 23-4 years I spent in mormonism:





Beer Nuts is pretty good... plus it's in HD... the same channel also has a show about drinking around the world... it's like a less sleazy version of insomniac. And I actually think it's much better.

I cannot sanction such an offshoot... that's it! You're excommunicated... or is that excommunARRRRRRRRGcated?

I actually have a giant box of ramen directly behind me. Enough to build my own deity.

I don't have nightmares. But I do have reoccurring dreams with negative themes. Like the one I woke up from this morning, which was the dream of exclusion and rejection. I get ditched by a woman I've been stupidly pining for and a male friend so they can be together and I remain alone. Actually, in a way it is my nightmare, and is probably...

Oh, and can't you salvage your SIM card?

Might I suggest making the next one with a strong radial blur... making you think you're drunk before you even get there!

Tomorrow I will raise when the sun is bright. I will take a long shower. The trash will be taken out and the mail checked. A j will be rolled.

The Homebrew store will be next on the list, where a variety of malts will be purchased. These include Maris Otter, Munich, Crisp Brown, Caramunich III, Carafa, and Special B. This will become a beer....

damn it, now I want some bbq. and a beer, even though I don't really drink beer.
dempsey:
I was a mormon for many years, so it's easy to slip into a trance and be highly suggestible... hell, dress in all white and tell me to bow my head and say yes, and I just might do anything. Either that or stab you. With a shiv I made out of a cafeteria tray. Either/or.

On cribs, would you show off your snakeskin comforter?




(thanks for the heads up on the cribs-worthy beer... I'm still trying to find something appropriate for my palette)

I'm back from Jackson, Miss.

I'd never been there before and now that I have I can safely say that it is probably the biggest shithole I've seen in my life. Apologies to those from Ole' Miss, but damn. It was the first time I'd been in a Walmart that was actually patrolled by armed guards. Fuckbeans. I thought it was maybe just that store...

I make the Arby's mistake every now and then... I convince myself that "Hey, they have a sub or that deli style sandwich, and hey, you like mozzarella sticks... oh, and they have curly fries... you love curly fries. Yes. Yes you do..." and about an hour after eating there, post-arby's misery kicks in, and I need a toilet.

Oh, and the reason all those gifts mentioned were enjoyed was that no one packaged said gifts in boxes. Because, seriously, who doesn't love a good box?

Flagrant false advertising... like eating a stack of rancid meat. Oh wait, it is...

So my plans for New Years went down the shitter. I was really hoping to go back up to my hometown in Iowa and visit M, but I guess she's busy. I'll probably still go out, but I think my mind will be in other places.

oh my hell... i just noticed your profile pic... genius.

"Hey look kids! A deer!"
dempsey:
yeah, this will probably be the last year of any real gifts... siblings starting to have kids, i'll be moving out of state soon enough, etc.

You should be jealous of my nephew... kid was swamped with gifts. And he's so young that I think if my sister & bro-in-law took 2/3 of them and hid them now, they would have his birthday and next christmas covered no problem...

So the christmas party wasn't too bad. I brought my brown porter and apple mead to give out as samples. Everybody enjoyed it and I'm glad. That's half the reason I'm a brewer.

The dinner was much better than last year. The previous event was shit. Vegetarian lasagna and sides as such. Sorry to those who partake in such a lifestyle, but sizzling flesh is...

Tomorrow is the Christmas party at work. I plan to attend then disappear into the night as soon as the bonus is in my hot little hands. If it's a gift certificate I plan to chain the doors and commit arson. Or I might just pee on the bosses car. That'll result in less community service I think.

wow...i havent watched christmas vacation in years. That was great.
prockgirlscout:
I don't think I get a Christmas party. If they're having one in Honolulu, I doubt they'll fly me over just for that. whatever Maybe they'll put some cookies in one of the containers they send everyday.

If either me or Mr. PRock get gift certificates, I'll be ecstatic. But that's because we both get quarterly bonuses. tongue

I got my scoresheet back from the Happy Holidays Homebrew Contest. I scored fairly well for a n00b, and the feedback was good and quite complimentary overall. I scored perfect in appearance from all the judges, and nearly perfect on mouthfeel. My major hits were on aroma and flavor which is not suprising given the fact I overcarbonated a little (dulls aroma and flavor perceptions)...

Some days I awake, full of purpose and love for my fellow neighbor and all that. Then I log onto the intardnet and realize that the greater majority of the human race are douchebags. I'm totally going to put pocket lint in the Salvation Army kettle, eat more than one free sample at the grocery store, then I think I'll wrap it up by peeing...
