inside my fridge

a review of the selection of fine ale in my fridge.

-heiniken(in cans or bottles) - golden, slightly watery, and just enough bitterness. good if you are drinking alot.
-guinness(in cans) - smooth, dark red(look against a light), standard stout beer. has to be poured in a glass.
-labatt genuine draft(bottles) - watery skunk-piss. good for random strangers who come over and drink.
-london dry porter - apparently it is a nice stout..but ive yet to open it. tbd.

other beers recently occupying the fridge:
-lucky lager/olympia - around one dollar per beer. what's not to like?
-chimay(blue label) - quite possible one of my most favorite bottled beers ever. sweet, smooth, porter/stout like, with flavors of coffee. five bucks or more per bottle.

other items in the fridge:
-blueberry juice
-cashews
-home-made granola(organic)
-condiments
-other unmentionables

-tune in next time for a review of things in the freezer; among them, green beans, edamame, and frost.

numero uno

the number 1 bus line - cutting calgary in half north-south (more or less) has the most varied sampling of the population base of any bus route in town. as far as i know.

mostly the usual suspects; blue collar types, uber-wealthy yuppies - the ones too cheap to pay for parking, people with way too many children; dudes at the back swilling vodka at 5pm; plus the assorted mass of over-aggressive and cussing teenagers. pretty much everyone gets along which is fairly amazing within itself. oh i forgot, also, very small children or babies shrieking, "i need chocolate", for the entire ride. the smells can be pretty mind-altering at times as well.

i cant wait until its bike riding weather.

hello, master

i went to see priestess on monday night..it was fuckin great. all the hipsters wandered around not paying attention(that must be the cool thing to do). but whatever, still a great time.



they toured with mastodon and converge in the US, which would have been awesome. totally.
