HEY YOU [Sep. 29th, 2009|08:21 pm]
[Where |Fort Stewart, GA for the moment]
[Feeling |rushedsomewhat lunatic]

 Hey!  Long time no type, but this is an announcement!

I'll be in DC this coming weekend, and I would like to see <i>you</i>!  If you would like to see me too (or perhaps even if you do not want to), read on!

Specifically, for drinks!  At the Science Club!  Friday October 2nd!  Umm ... 9 PM? Sure that'll do as a preliminary time announcement!

Be there!  If you are poor and cannot afford a drink, I will buy you one so that you have no excuse not to come.

:)

When you get bitten by a black widow once on the wrist and twice in the "bathing suit area", it's a pretty good sign you should call it a day. >_<

Beware of the declarative sentence fragment [Jun. 19th, 2009|01:13 pm]
[Feeling |chipperchipper]

This primer on Rotovaps (rotary evaporators) is one of the most remarkable things I have ever read, and it merely confirms my belief that food is the field I want to be in. The application of smarts and hard work to produce a dramatic, tangible result - a result that someone can eat and enjoy, a result whose purpose is clear and whose utility can be judged by anybody. Sounds good to me. Building (or buying) a rotovap is of course a little ways off - first things first.

Speaking of which, Project Bacon continues apace. First two batches should set up to cure this weekend, one fairly standard, the other Chinese five-spice cured. Will report progress; otherwise, this weekend is drinks with friends, Buffy-watching, and hopefully some running or something.

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Drinking Game [Jun. 12th, 2009|06:30 pm]
[Feeling |amusedamused]

I am about halfway through Season 2 and think it's fantastic, but I think its casually gruesome body count merits a drinking game. Feel free to suggest your own rules!

Drink Whenever:
  • A vampire is slain
  • A student of Sunnydale High dies
  • Xander is thoughtlessly insensitive to the feelings of a friend (especially a girl)
  • Cordelia is a total bitch to someone (is this too frequent?)
  • A prophecy is mentioned


This is by no means exhaustive - and it lacks any "Finish Your Drink When:" rules. :o)

[Feeling |surprisedboringly busy]

I bought tickets home. In Saturday, out Tuesday. I make no promises that I can make time to see anyone but family; but, if I can, I'd love to see any/all of you.

Tomorrow: Disneyland, and more bread baking. If I may be so self-gratifyingly pedantic, I think my first goal is that I want to open a pizzeria and brewpub: amazing, wood-fired pizza on the best freaking crust you can make, and vibrant, creative house-made beer. Now I just need to learn to brew beer ..

Saw Star Trek last night, and it was spot on. J.J. Abrams (mostly) resisted his usual temptation to put in things that are cool or mysterious just for the sake of being cool or mysterious, and instead did a good service to an ailing franchise. Well done, sir.

This week's projects [Apr. 21st, 2009|11:29 am]
  • Making starter for bread, followed by a bunch of bread-baking
  • Making xiao long bao, followed by some alternative soup dumplings (Pho dumplings!)
  • Testing an idea for smoked dumplings


I also need to buy a new computer, think about tracking down a used road bike, and start looking for a new place to live come August when my lease is up and Ben heads to DC for grad school. Maybe some place closer to the beach. :o)

let's hit the beat
