The Luscious Mix of Words And Tricks


A long time ago, last Tuesday night, I attended a tailgating session and a Braves game just so happened to be scheduled. I think they played the Giants. . .and I'm not sure who won. I do remember a wave, and the 7th inning stretch singing of Take Me Out To The Ball Game, but the rest is beer, and beer, and beer. My firt experience with Bud Light and Miller Lite. I hesitate to add them to the beer list, although I'll consider it because the list is quite small, and embarassing. I have an impotent beer list. We played Flip Cup, my first and favorite drinking game. No winners, no losers...except for...

With work which included a presentation looming the next day I was fearful of a hangover. What the opposite. I woke a couple of hours early with an energetic feeling that found me dancing/shaving to Daft Punk at 5:00am. Once I arrived to the classroom and made my introductions I noticed my speech was slurred just a tad. I wonder if others picked up on this.

I like the Delirium beers. Its a Belgian dark ale with a high alcohol content so to lessen the strong taste, a rotation with a glass of water is practiced, or even more lame[r], I'd put ice cubes in the glass of beer. I'm glad I can find it in the local Bottle Shoppe but the thing is, they only carry it in pints which is about 3 servings. After 2 I'm pretty loose but I have to finish the bottle, its corked.

Architecture In Helsinki has grown on me. City Calm Down, One Heavy February, Souvenirs [I recognized from a Sprint advertisement], and Like a Call are some favorites from Fingers Crossed.

I suddenly realized that John Vanderslice has a Postal Service sound which is a good thing. Maybe a tour with Vanderslice, Death Cab For Cutie/Postal Service/Dntel, and Iron & Wine would be perfect.

Panda Bear is fantastic but Grizzly Bear is not. The sound is almost alike, but Pandas far more viscous than Grizzlies, its a fact.

Circa 1:22 into All My Hamocks Are Dying by Chin Up Chin Up and the 2:12 mark of Split Needles by The Shins and is what I'm all about.
