I just finished putting together a new batch of mead. It's about 5 gallons of sack mead (which means it's sweeter than most), and ideally, it should taste like fine wine and kick like an enraged rhinocerous. I'm using a finer quality of champagne yeast (instead of wine yeast), and we'll have to see how that brews out. I've also got the plans set for my next three batches as well; a blackberry mead, a strawberry wine, and a small mead. I've had requests from some ladies for the sweeter mixes, and I'd like something that doesn't take 3 years to make for myself.
The Stump got her ass beat in a cat-fight yesterday. To hear the Girl tell it, a feral cat went nose-to-nose with our short-tailed hero, claws were exchanged, and Stumpy fled the scene. Not exactly heroic, but she came out of it without getting hurt. She spent the rest of the day being more feral than normal and prowling about.
The Girl and I are both still job-hunting. It's harder on her because her car is one step from a junk pile. Still trying to figure out how to work that one, as businesses want people with reliable transportation.
I'd like to find a game that I can join, somewhere. GMing is an awful lot of fun, but I'd like to play as well. There is a gaming club up here in Athens, but most of my nights (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, Saturday Morning) are taken up by martial arts practice. There's just not enough time to spare, really.
Still muddling through
