Just another cheese-sandwich week for me, excluding the Web 2.0 Awards release, and I am happy to report that time seems to be moving slower. I'm working hard at being present each moment, which seemed so easy after I came back from a hectic existence in Tokyo. Lesson learned: it doesn't take a lot of outer craziness to cause inner turmoil.
This blog has been getting a lot of attention from the folks directed to this blog via my SEOmoz profile. So welcome, everyone. I find myself only slightly embarrassed that you are here, but that will pass in another week or so. It's interesting to have a considerably "personal" blog in so public a space, but it's happened before-- when my
old blog, Schoolgirl Sophistry was hosted on the UO's .edu servers and became the #1 Google hit for the search term "schoolgirl." ... yeah. Nevertheless, I'll continue this social experiment until I get
Dooced or worse. Why not?
I forgot to mention the beer tasting I went to with my dad last weekend. A friend of Justin's & mine spends much of her office job winning radio contests. She's the one who hooked the neo-con company Jimmy Dean into putting on the
Sausage Fest for the people at The Abbey. So she won two tickets to Hops on Equinox, a beer fest at the Seattle center. For them, we gained one $20 entry each, with a souvenir glass and six free 6 oz. tastings, though for some reason they gave us not SIX but NINE tasting tickets each. Mmm-MM, 54 ounces of free beer! We spent many of our trying the "red carpet" imported beers, which cost two each. Nevertheless, there wasn't much to do but drink and refill and I soon found myself slightly tanked. We ended up spending our last three tickets on mini meat pies from
Pies & Pints. I ought to record what we tasted, for good measure, so...

Porter:
*Scuttlebutt Brewing Co. - Porter Dry Hop wih Oak
Red Ale:
*Lagunitas Brewing Co. - Lagunitas Imperial Red
Stout:
*Young's - Young's Double Chocolate Stout [this went well with cake]
"Other":
*Chimay - Chimay Cinqcents (Triple)
*De Proufbrouwerji - Bottleworks Van den Vern Grand Cru [WTF?]
*New Belgium Brewing Co. - 1554
*New Belgium Brewing Co. - Skinny Dip [Yum!]
*Stone Brewery - Arrogant Bastard
Draft Cider:
*Wyder's Cider - Wyder's Raspberry Cider
I'm proud to say that I've developed a taste for the stuff, even if Justin still can't handle it. I like beers without a bitter aftertaste. Actually, I pretty much enjoy any beer that doesn't have an aftertaste-- that's what kills it for me. I guess the same can be said of life. *chuckles* Anyhow, we've got a full weekend planned with an early start and late end tomorrow (a massage in-between, hurrah!) so I'm off to bed.
