Slacker, thy name is Andrew

Date September 30, 2008

It’s been, what?  Weeks since I last wrote?  I’m just lazy.  I have no excuse.  Mostly I’m just annoyed that I just haven’t wanted to take the time to sit down and write.  Of course, to make matters worse this is a continuation of a saved draft, so that means that I managed to suck [...]

Mmmm, risotto with bell peppers, chili peppers, and tomato and high ABV beers. Not bad for a Sunday night. #

Took a bunch of stuff to Free Geek, tomorrow will be a Goodwill run. Seven months on, I’m finally getting settled into the apartment. #
It’s 80 degrees out, and I’m starting a lasagna. Why? Because I’m crazy, and I love to cook. #

At the Bridgeport Brewery for the release of the 2008 Hop Harvest Ale. I actually get pint #1 from the first keg tapped! #

Holy crap. Why am I running 3.5 miles in 85 degree weather? Oh right, because I’m an idiot. #

In which I recount a race time and manly geek skills

Date September 11, 2008

The 10k Pints to Pasta race came and went, and I did better than I thought I would, but not nearly as good as two years ago when I last ran.  I wouldn’t say I’m out of shape, just not in as good of shape.  Carrying extra weight and running yes doesn’t help, but I [...]

Making dinner, listening to good music, drinking good beer. On my plate for tonight: Andrew-style meatloaf with mashed potatoes and kale. #

I’m so wiped out. 10k run, 10 mile bike ride, and two pints of beer. I think I need to lie down for awhile. #

Drinking beer, watching X-Files DVD rips, and avoiding all political convention news. Life, my friends, is good. #
Finally get to try Deschutes’ Dissident Ale on tap in the Pearl…if it would only get to my table! #
And it was definitely worth the wait. Wow. #

@icelander My game of “how little of the conventions can I watch” seems to be going quite well, thank you. #

Like crack, only more addictive

Date September 3, 2008

I think that after the elections–or maybe before, depending on the next 60 days or so–I’m going to need a detox.  The whole nomination of Sarah Palin is just too much for me to take.  It’s one…scandal…after…another.  It’s like crack.  I just can’t get enough of this nonsense.  And if this is how I feel, [...]
