Blah, sitting in line at the DEQ.

There’s beer involved, surprisingly

Date May 29, 2008

I found myself in a culinary quandary this evening for dinner, as Hanne had to eat quickly before Dragon Boat practice, and the three closest take-out places that I frequent were all off the menu: Hanne and I got sandwiches at the grocery store so that was out, I had Greek food for lunch today [...]

Resolution and a thundering BBQ

Date May 27, 2008

The day after I sent my email to everyone I could find regarding the Best Brews internship, I got a call back from someone who gave me an apology, but it didn’t seem like she’d actually read the email I sent out and seemed to think I just had some sour grapes about not being [...]

Date May 18, 2008

It was 80-something on Thursday, 90-something on Friday, and somewhere in between yesterday.  The calendar may not reflect it yet, but summer has officially arrived here at casa de Andrew.  The windows are open, Hanne and I are sitting outside (thanks, wireless and laptop), and I’m listening to alternating sounds of a woodpecker and news [...]

Miscellaneous

Date May 8, 2008

Still no word on my trip to New York, though I did call them yesterday to try and glean some information from them.  The woman assured me she’d have to call me back, and I’m hoping I hear from them today with some concrete plans.  They had originally mentioned Thursday or Friday as days to [...]

@icelander You’re not alone. There’s a small but growing resistance movement against GTA IV. Viva la doesn’t-give-a-rat’s-ass!
