I'm off to the farmers market to find some fresh-pressed cider to turn into booze. I also plan to laugh and point at the kids popping and locking terribly for quarters. Also, I might eat a big soft pretzel the size of my head.

I'm working on learning a little classic strumming as of late, The Wildwood Flower to be exact.

It's kind of a...

Today I went on a mission to find a heatproof graduated pitcher. Plastic or pyrex if at all possible, with my preference being the latter for reasons of thermal stability. Plastic out-gasses when heated. Maybe not as much with thermal resistance types, but it still will. Pyrex won't, plus it clear which is what I desire. Why? I'll be using it to draw wort off...

Is the general population getting dumber or what? Fucking christ, I need a Brawndo and some Starbucks.

I got a email from Oregon State a bit ago saying my financial aid status has been reviewed and updated. Great I thought, there goes what little they did want to give me. I was pretty much shitting tacks while waiting to get logged in to check my status and see how much I got screwed.

I was wrong. Thank the Gods. Dead wrong. Instead...

My beard is getting super-huge and bushy. Like almost Joaquin Phoenix level, only clean. I might let it grow to see how massive I can get it. My mustache is getting frustrating because I'm always chewing on it along with my food. Once it's done I might donate it to atomicant.

*itches face*

If anyone needs me I'll be eating flapjacks and wearing a...

A special thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I didn't die of alcohol or bacon poisoning.

I kid, I kid. I didn't really drink that much. Mostly just a bottle of my oatmeal chocolate stout I made about two years ago. It got really interesting. The oats softened and got really velvety, and in combination with the pound and a half of...

It's so hot I powdered my junk and made gravy. Try and get that image out of your head.

In a bit over two weeks I turn the big 3-0. I don't know if I'll celebrate or anything, but I do know I'll be making a beer. A big beer. A big, big beer. My birthday is 7/29/79. Added up that's 115. So I'm going to brew a beer with a gravity of 1.115 and an IBU of 115. That's a lot of hops...

Dear Jiffy Lube:

Awesome job putting my oil filter on finger tight so it develops a slow leak. You get a sticker with googly eyes. Or maybe one that's a strawberry ice cream cone, but when you scratch it the smell is actually port-a-johnny instead of strawberry. I guess it's my own fault for going there instead of just doing it myself. I'm fat, lazy...
