George Carlin, RIP

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

The comic genius George Carlin passed away yesterday at the age of 71. Sad. I’ve been listening to his comedy for 20 years, and am going to miss is musings on society, faith, and everyday inane subjects.
Found this video just now, thought it’s a fitting way to end the post… some of George Carlin’s standup [...]

Guinness continues to flow

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Over the past couple weeks I’ve been drinking a lot more beer than I normally would. I’m torn on whether that’s a good or bad thing. It’s good in that I really like beer, especially Guinness, but it’s bad for my waistline. Oh well. The good news is that it’s been 2 weeks tonight since [...]

Since the trip…

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Since the last post, I had a nice end of my two week vacation. A couple relaxing days that allowed me to get back into our timezone. During that time I also discovered that Belmont Station carries the Bruges beer that Kelly and I had much of on our trip, Brugse Zot, so I picked [...]

Shows, movies, The Goose, and more travels

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Since the last recap, Kelly and I got caught up on Lost and Battlestar Galactica (both of which were really good episodes, after waiting through some ‘filler’ episodes recently), and we went to see two movies, Iron Man and In Bruges.
Iron Man was really fantastic. I’d heard good things, but wasn’t expecting it to be [...]

If Facebook were real

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Caught this little gem from Digg just now and had to repost it here, because well, it’s hilarious. And sadly true.

This video represents the downside of being too connected. Sometimes it can be good (yielding some favorable contact with long-lost friends), sometimes it can be awkward and slightly uncomfortable (being contacted and ‘friended’ by people [...]

Hot Chip, and general update

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Wednesday night Kelly and I went to see the great electro-pop band Hot Chip at the Crystal Ballroom. After work we went to Ringlers Pub for some dinner and drinks before the show, where I had a fantastic brew (which I guess is only being poured at Ringlers), called Liquid Friend. It was a lighter [...]

Goose, work, beer & travel plans

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

OK, it’s been a bit since my last post, here’s what I’ve been up to:

Kelly and I have been to the Goose Hollow Inn a couple weekends in a row, first just Kelly and I, a second time with our friends T & Aymie and Miranda. Good lord I love their reuben sandwich. Mmmmmm….
Had an [...]

Dramatic Lemur

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

For those that remember Dramatic Chipmunk (that’s not really a chipmunk) comes another fine bit of web junk… Dramatic Lemur (requires sound for full effect).

You’re welcome.

End of the week & Bon Iver

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Last night I was out with my brothers at Moon & Sixpence for some beers and dinner. Fortunately I got home at a reasonable hour, though I still ended getting to work late this morning, however it had nothing to do with last night. Kelly took today off from work (tomorrow is her last day [...]

Mash Tun, and a quick recap

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Met my good friend JB at the Mash Tun tonight after work. It’d been a bit since we last caught up, and had a good time hanging out, and I greatly enjoyed sipping on the cream ale the Tun is still pouring. I asked the server (nice fella named Tim) whether he knew if they [...]
