Since it's been almost forever it seems since I last posted, and I just realized that the foodie post I just did, while yummy, isn't all that substantial in updating people, I figured I should actually post something non-food related ( Read more... )

Been busy this weekend, two 5 gallon batches, one yesterday & one today are now fermenting. Fast forward a couple of weeks and then we'll be bottling/kegging, and then a bit more and we'll be drinking - want to help?

Batch 1: Coffee porter (from a kit, brewed coffee added to porter kit)
Batch 2: Cherry stout (not from kit)

So last night I did something new, instead of riding my motorcycle to the glass studio (the usual) for the class I took, I rode my bicycle instead. It's far enough away that it's a workout for me (at least for now), but close enough I can manage (even my out-of-shape self) to still guarantee I'll get there and back alright ( Read more... )

So, I got into a car accident last week Thursday, coming home from work. No, I didn't get hurt (neither of us did), yes it did involve another vehicle, and yes our car got crunched in the accident. The other car - no damage at all. :-P silly trucks ( Read more... )

I plan on enjoying it. :) Now just to find out how exactly I did. I think by the end of it I've gotten my brain back into "school" mode after a 3 year hiatus. ( Read more... )

So, it's been a long, busy week. School started on Monday plus it's been rather hectic at work as well. All that makes for a very tired self this Friday afternoon.

Monday was film class. This looks like it will be very enjoyable although a very long single evening a week class. "Film and Social Justice", we started out by watching an early 50's ( Read more... )

So, I've started another one of these. Last time I had one was about 3-4 years ago and I think I lasted about 6 months before I let it die. Then again, I didn't really have a bunch of other people I knew really well and liked who were also on there to keep me coming back for the friends page, etc. So here's hoping it works better this time ( Read more... )
