RIP Myspace

I think the Myspace dynasty is officially over. It was "glorious" for a short period of time: the self-taken photos, the horrible blog writing, being "friends" with all those hot "women", being harassed by bands that sucked and didn't live near you anyway. You had everything Myspace, and you threw it all away. Actually, you kind of sucked from the beginning.

I hope Twitter is soon to follow. I don't care what other people are doing most of the time: eating lunch, doing the laundry, writing a paper, staring at the wall.... who cares? These people aren't actually doing any of those things, they're "tweeting". I don't want to hear about someone's "tweets" when I'm watching the news either. "Tweets" aren't newsworthy, they're a waste of my time.

Bear + Deer = Beer

 
I did it!! My first batch of beer is fermenting as you read this. It's an Oatmeal Stout, although I'll have a better name for it after the official taste test. Instead of going wussy style I decided to step it up a few notches by steeping actual grain and adding real hops to my wort. It was a joy, except for I wasn't properly equipped for stepping it up that many notches. All together it took me about 6 hours, which includes the time I took staring at the directions and wondering what I was going to mess up. Note to self - Don't brew beer on a 90+ degree day in a kitchen with no AC. Nonetheless I knocked it out with minimal damage to my kitchen and it currently appears to be on schedule and doing what beer does. Hopefully it tastes good when I'm done because I'm going to need some help drinking it. Cheers.
