Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

He stuck some chewing gum under his foreskin. And it got stuck.

Gah!

I'm analysing archaeobotanical material from a medieval well found in Sheffield last year.

That sounds so cool.

(Also, so cool that you're studying something you can actually explain to people. Trying to explain my work generally results in me drawing lots of pictures and people giving me puzzled expressions and backing away slowly. It's not so much that it's that difficult, it's just that it's entirely abstract.)

I am so proud. My bro's brewpub won a bronze medal for their "light" beer -- named "Lightweight" -- in the "Golden/Blond Ale" category at the World Beer Cup 2006, which is apparently a big deal among brewers, as it's held by the Brewers Association. This is the second beer they've won a medal for at a competition, and they only opened 2 1/2 years ago.

My bro sent me an e-mail yesterday, which I am reproducing in full:

next tuesday(6/6/06) our new beer, The Mortal Sin, is coming out. it is 6.66% alcohol and 66 ibu's. the logo is a demon that looks a whole lot like dick cheney. yes, i am sending you one next week.

Upon clarification, he's not sending me a *beer*; he's sending me a t-shirt with the demon/Dick Cheney logo on it.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Ok, y'all have heard the saga of my assistant who has been out with medical issues for over a year now (she was back for 2 months in the winter and that is it).

A few months back we hired a clerical temp who helps our administrative assistant most of the time, but also takes my clerical stuff, such as my filing.

Her sister was in a major car wreck yesterday and is hanging on by a thread. Any available temp-sister-health~ma would be appreciated.

It sounds pale ale-y, but I didn't ask. I'll have to get more info from him.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Beers with that high of an alcohol content are usually India Pale Ales.

Geez, Suzi. That's awful. Much ~ma to the family of the temp's sister.

I'm glad to hear your interview went well, Aimee! We knew they couldn't help lusting afterwanting to employ you.

I'm not sure that it is, though, based on the alcohol content (and IBUs) of some of their non-pale ales: [link]

However, he loves the hops, so it probably is a pale ale of some sort.
