I'm pretty sure I agree with you, but I need to listen to it one more time. I lagged behind and hadn't gotten around to it until then. Right now: Deadmau5 - 4x4=12

Way to be, Mike. Enjoy!

Better than I expected.

Mono - Hymn to the Immortal World. Rather epic so far.

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

To all the dads in our HC contingent - have a great one. Kick back and enjoy your drink of choice, whether it be cocktails, beer, or drams.

Have a great one David!

Back in Oak Park after finishing my final round interview with Accenture. They had some positions open up in Milwaukee along with Minneapolis. Still not Chicago but at least they're getting closer. I did mention to my recruiter that I'd prefer to stay in Chicago and she said that while nothing is available now, she would let me know when something opens up. So it sounds like if I get an offer for MN or WI I can tell her I'd like to wait for Chicago openings and get in that way. We'll see. ... Wouldn't it be so much easier if they just had one fucking job in Chicago?

I'm like you Jacob, I usually need to fall asleep immediately after drinking. And I might add that if I had those 12 beers I would probably be comatose.

I saw bombers with the new artwork at my local Whole Foods last week. Nearly bought one just because of the update. It looks badass imo.

Al and Chris - wish you and your parents the very best.

Lmk if you need more of that Boulevard, Raffy. I'm in Peoria this weekend and it is plentiful.

Sorry CJ and Vicki. Hope things turn around asap. Sending out good hopes for the both of you in the meantime.

Thanks so much ladies and gents, as always. Sure has been a great year!

Anniversary card + dinner tomorrow night (as my most-imminent future purchase). Tomorrow is one year with Allison.

Congrats Vickie, they look great. And thanks to John, I'm sorta wondering if 16+3A would make a good self-reward for finally landing a job (whenever that does happen). Hrm...

Young The Giant - Young The Giant Looking forward to hearing these guys live at Lollapalooza.

Drinking a nice DIPA in honor (and jealousy) of Shelly and Al and Pliny goodness. Compliments of Mike and Deb.

Dreadnaught. Yay!

At the FFF with Sir Mike. Starting with Ragnarok, a pretty badass porter.

Jamm. A subtle stout but really nice roasted notes.

At the Goose Island Clybourn Brewpub in Lincoln Park. Starting with a sour - 2010 Juliet.

Deadmau5 - For Lack of a Better Name

Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X Sounds good on thunderous TP bass.

Happy birthday Nebby!
