Dusty Chalk

Nope, German guy is willing to ship. Didn't realize I can't believe Duggeh wants to let his go, we all associate it with him at this point. That said, I really do need to stay the fuck away from eBay.

The Joy Formidable, The Big Roar -- after seeing them twice live, finally getting around to listening to the album in its entirety. Quite possibly album of the year for me, although there are a couple of false notes on it (not literally, just...stuff I don't like as much). Rawk. My friend says grunge, but I don't hear it. Think Catherine Wheel at their most cacophonous. Three people should not be able to make so much noise. Bonus points for the occasional unorthodox time signature moment (the beginning of Whirring goes back and forth between 10/4 and 12/4, for example -- I love that, dropping a part of a bar just because it makes more sense the other way).

I thought Al had acquired a cat, and the cat had access to his keyboard. Happy Birthday, Tyler!

Dusty really likes that watch -- dark green/black combo is win. My only complaint is that I DON'T NEED ANY MOAR WATCHES.

Oak is growing on you?

Not necessarily noteworthy, but that is also one of the last things I bought.

Um...or not. Didn't look at the auction, only ships to Germany (who doesn't ship to the US these days? They don't want our money?). Contacted seller, we'll see. This be the auction.

General Tso's Chipotle Chop w/lemon pepper chicken instead of chipotle chicken from Chop't.

Amazon listing for TechnoMarine Unisex 110074 Cruise Steel Camouflage Chronograph Purple Camouflage Dial Watch. Note, in particular, image of said watch:

Ocean, Precambrian on vinyl -- my first favorite post-metal album (my favorite favorite is their Heliocentral).

Sennheiser Surrounder

I certainly don't understand me. Does that make me a genius?

(you (get used to (it)))

Finally finished that box of Maipe malbec -- I really don't have the patience to let the wine warm up to optimal temperature. And no, Jacob, I only just finished my first malbec, it'll be a while before I get to that one.

What? One of the greatest albums of all time.

Saw a black leather jacket with black hardware in Marshall's -- was obviously a second (the lining behind the zipper bulged out a little bit, to the point where if it isn't zipped up, it looks wrong), but it was cheap, so I got it.

Tea (Faux-rizona, to be specific). All day. Peeing a lot. A lot.

Drove. I went to a concert in Harrisburg PA Friday night, and apparently dropped my credit card or something. Had to go back for it today. Plus: laundry. Not a very productive day.

I'm thinking that wouldn't work nearfield. Or even midfield. Or even normal field. I'm thinking, "outfield".

I hope they have a "well that's finally over" sale.

Get out of my mind.

Thanks for the heads up, I have to admit to having been curious, will give them a chance. Me: pub dog oatmeal chocolate stout -- I think I better stay away from chocolate beers for a while -- they taste too much like coffee to me -- I'd like to stick to caramel and toffee malts for a while. Except for Southern Tier, of course. And Ommegang. Alright, maybe I better stay away from generalizations for a while. Goddamnit.

@ Appalachian Brewing Company Had: scottish ale -- outstanding Irish red -- outstanding Barleywine -- not bad Stout -- Irish dry, so not my cuppa Wheat -- I liked it a lot ...and the night is young Sent from mah Droid

Atwater Double Down imperial amber -- quite like the King Crimson, as a matter of fact -- too hoppy for me, but blame that on being the third day in a row. If it was a one-off, I probably could have handled it.
