I bought blueberry beer last night! They had it in my very own liquor store! It's called Wild Blue, made by Blue Dawg Brewery, and it's...not that good, actually. Certainly not a patch on the sheer awesomeness of Bunker Hill or Ipswich that I had out in Boston last year. I mean, it's purple. The head is magenta, for crap's sake. That ain't right. I mean, it's okay, but it's basically alcoholic fruit juice. While looking into reviews just now, I saw someone call it "the Boone's Farm of beer." While I am pleased at the effort, I am disappointed with the execution. Oh, well. Looks like I'll just have to go to Boston again for the real thing.
Tomorrow, the Detroit Lions will try to avoid being the first team to go 0-16 on a season, and the first winless team since the expansion Buccaneers in '76. They are playing the Green Bay Packers and, as a Packers fan, I am scared shitless by this game, because I don't have confidence in their ability to beat anyone right now. Seriously, I bet I could go out there by myself and hang 17 points on that defense. And I can't even kick.
Got some decent stuff for Christmas; nothing spectacular. Except for the stocking cap thing that coco knitted for me, which looks like one of the Chompy things from Super Mario Brothers. It is incredible beyond words.
Car died on Sunday; fixed on Wednesday--dead battery. The replacement ended up being my brother's Christmas present to me. Had that not been necessary, his gift would have been a subscription to Playboy. He's classy like that.
Dad gave out some pretty amusing Christmas cards. Maybe I'll tell you about it.
Overall, this Christmas was OK. Not much in the way of excessive bastardry, except for when I elbowed my cousin in the head because he broke my glasses. Fucker. (Redneck, ever the helpful and courteous one, fixed them. The screw he used didn't really fit, but it was sturdy, and held without problem long enough for me to get them actually fixed. So that was nice.)
Last night I did a task force on CoH with TeddyRoosevelt, two-fisted president and defender of justice. Usually during my CoX sessions, I'll put in some music so that I don't get bored with battle sounds. Since I got some CDs for Christmas, I used those. Gotta say, it's a little weird to be bashing in heads to a soundtrack of Chopin.
Just watched Citizen Cohn, which I got in through Netflix. After watching that, and Winchell a few weeks ago...it's interesting how the great "anti-Communist crusaders" seemed to all have shitty lives in the end. Maybe it's karma. Who knows.
Apparently the Spirit movie is absolute shit. This is disappointing, because I finally read some of the Darwyn Cooke run of the comic book, and it's great. Boo, Frank Miller. Boo.
I've put together a track listing for a CD I plan to make soon, sampling the best of the music I heard/acquired in 2008. (Not necessarily music made in 2008; that would be either very short or consisting of about three different artists.) If you're good, I'll post the track listing. See what you think.
Finally: I am awesome. And so are you.
