North Coast Rasputin Imperial Stout


I had this beer last night at The Bottle Room in Up Town Whittier. The first sip tasted like a chocolate milk shake, but then after the head wore off a bit, it had slight blueberry flavor. I will definitely be hunting this one down at my local Bev Mo. I give it a 10. 10 for taste and 10 for alcohol content.

The Beer Challenge

I made a bet with the devil today. 

It involves me brewing my own beer. If anyone has any helpful tips or suggestion concerning this process, then PLEASE enlighten me. 

Cheers.

New Toy


This is the new apple of my eye and I will start saving......NOW. 

Also, in other coffee news, I just figured out that I can purchase Stumptown beans on their website. FABULOUS. And I must say, they have a lovely site.

I Support Good Decisions

Some good decisions made over the weekend:

1.) Picnic at Shoreline Park in Long Beach. Picnic essentials included:
-Cute picnic basket
-Cute roommates
-Mission IPA
-Raspberries, cheese, bread, and cake
-summer clothes

2.) Downloading Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero's new album. PREMIUM.

3.) The Waterfront Pub in Santa Monica.
-Giant pretzels
-Giant Hef

4.) 5 movies in one weekend. Some better than others and some lower budg' than others.

Low Points:

1.) Watching 5 movies in one weekend.

2.) Losing a bet. Owing a $1 taco. Admitting I was wrong. (honestly I think there was some cheating involved...)

3.) No but really, don't watch The Cake Eaters. Big time low point.

When in Rome

This address is on a shipment of fabric that is currently trying to make it's way from Italy to my office. I don't know if it will actually find its way to my desk or not...

Here's the real address: Affliction Clothing
                                           1799 Apollo Ct. 
                                           Seal Beach, CA US 90740

It gave me quite the laugh.
