wha's a blog?
so, i'm not sure i'm ok with writing a 'web page' entirely within someone else's templates.. but i think blogs have been around long enough and have been successful enough to go ahead and succumb to. next thing you know i'll be buying an ipod and a blackberry. anyway. i don't have anything particularly interesting to say in my first blog. i know what would be fun: logs.
Music:
- The Cure - "Disintegration." fucking awesome album. If you haven't listened to it, especially on a cold, snowy day when you're alone and a little pessimistic...
- Beck - "Guerolito." yeah that's it.
- Rilo Kiley - "More Adventurous." rocks.
Beer:
- Polish: "Okocim - Porter" and "Zywiec - Porter." both very much like chocolate liqueurs, though moreso for the Okocim. the Zywiec has more bite, though is certainly not as smooth. Both exceptionally tasty thick, creamy, smoky, and chocolatey porters. Very strong (around 9% alcohol), and relatively cheap ($2.50 for a 1/2 liter at a Boston beer snob store).
- German (?): Schneider "Aventinus": one of my favorites ever. The related "Eisenbock": basically the normal Aventinus double bock dehydrated to fit into a smaller bottle. Not as good, though interesting if you're a big fan of Aventinus to try it with less water.
The organic weisse with American Cascade hops is also amazing, on the level of the Aventinus but more... honestly, American tasting.
- Heavyweight ... Porter: some fancy name referencing mythology or something. Anyway, similar to the Okocim porter, and going out of business, so generally on sale in the states. 6ers of a great porter with very high alcohol for $5.50.
- Moylan's: rated highly by many beer snobs. I think this is for its independence and exlusive customer base. I tried their entire line at a tasting in Brookline, and wasn't particularly impressed. If the double IPA is on sale, as it has been in Boston, for $2.99 per 750mL, it's awesome. Normally priced, it's better to stick with any other double IPA.
more to come. I'm a little sad that the beer list so outnumbers the music list, but I think that's because right now I'm drinking the "ice bock," smoking hookah, and listening to Beck. There's no point in me writing about Beck. I've tried, and I have nothing intelligent to say.
Anyway, I'll try to do something useful with this blog eventually. Maybe I can manage to upload my Vandy webpage here eventually.
