Midnight Sun – Sockeye Red IPA
Very clean. Sparky. Slightly a watery finish.

New Belgium – Rampant IIPA
Crisp. Almost like a cigar with slight floral tones.

Skookum – Chucklehead IIPA
Tastes and looks dirty. Not to say I’m not going to drink it, more that I’m not going to drink it again.

Victory – Dirt Wolf IIPA
Very floral, leaves a tingling in the tongue.

Overall I’m not super impressed tonight. That’s why we do flights. After I polish of these I’ll get a pint, of something better, I hope.

Stone – Double Arragont Bastard
Always good. Thick and juicy. The only thing that I like more requires oak aging.

Desk Hulk is almost done. I almost flipped it up last night, but then half the base started to separate. Drop dropped in a couple now screws, but I’m still concerned. I need to accept. This is a piece de’chaos. I have more that will be added. Make it bigger, stronger, meaner. Really, when an imperial space marine sees it, they should quake in fear. Bolter and chain sword have nothing on this. Do I finish first or add documentation first. Decisions.

I’m not really. Micro blogging is some sort of intelligent method of fragmented thought. This is just me devolving. Some days I have something long, thought out, enlightening. Today I have stream of consciousness at the speed of beer.

As an act of last resort, though I was sure it wouldn’t work, I removed all of Razer’s software. The keyboard works fine. What the heck is writing with them? Also, why works u use the word duck. U didn’t even say duck if there was a fist fight.

I should totally watch this. You might should too.

The Wif made and threw away two batches of fudge last night. Tonight I make the fudge. Never having made fudge before, I think, I looked up Alton Brown’s recipe. I miss him on the Food Network. The thing that’s great about him, is no where in his recipe does out mention an arbitrary colour, texture, or mood. There are times and temperature. The thing about baking, is that its science.
I looked at the Wif’s recipe for fudge and its all having her get to the magic temperature for no reason. The reason you get your chocolate to 234°F is science. If you’re not using chocolate, but chocolate chips which more resemble flavored candles than chocolate, the temperatures for individual crystalline structures will be different. Obviously the recipe works for many people, at least to a reasonable degree, but it’s imprecise due to the choice of ingredients, and this imprecision will compound from that point forward. This is how something add exact as chemistry turns into art. Not to diss on art, I like art, I just prefer to keep things simple when simple works.

I really haven’t done anything that useful the last few days. I got the Wif’s laptop more set up, less McAffee more other stuff. I shredded paper. That’s about it on the home front. The Wif did get me a lab book at the school bookstore. They’re just perfectly formatted for doing a science.
The other item off note, assuming that there was anything with biting in the preceding paragraph, I’d my coworker showed me Duolingo, that is awesome. Totally leading German during my commute. It’s the first time when I actually started thinking the foreign words to myself, this is after I took the years of Spanish and helped the Wif with a year of it as well. Really, its dope.

Mad River – Jamaica Brand Red Ale
Thick and almost nutty. Feels more like a brown than a red. Nice tight bite.

Breakside – Eurotrash IPL
Very smooth with strong rosemary. Hop aftertaste in a good way. Fun for summer, would recommend with roasted chicken.
Deschutes – Hop Henge IIPA
Bright, almost an amber taste. Very hoppy with a slightly syrupy consistency. The Wif thinks it tastes like sleeping on a skibum’s floor.
Stoup – Red IPA
Makes me think of mellow jerky. I wanna snap into a Slim Jim. RIP Macho Man Randy Savage.
Scuttlebutt – Gale Force IPA
Citrus and cloves. Clean. Like the gray of the ocean at dawn while running down a hapless cargo ship. Arrr.
