As a fellow Warrior of Awesome: my pleasure. Keep it comin'.

In which I realize I need to say Thank You...
On Sunday, I was personally offended that Chris Brown performed at the Grammys. Violence against anyone is never okay, but the quiet acceptance of violence against women we see all over the world is especially reprehensible to me. Allowing someone who beat his girlfriend so severely she was hosp...
I would absolutely patronize a 80s-arcade/microbrew pub.
I would patronize it TWICE.

The Poet and the Painter casting shadows on the water
Beer stuff! I wanted to make Jaime Paglia an oatmeal stout, because that's his favorite. When I went to the shop to get supplies, though, Greg (who owns it) told me that you really have to do a partial mash or all-grain to get it just right. I'm not quite ready for that, yet, so I went with my b...

an update on the wheaton and son homebrewing experience
Today, Ryan and I racked (that's fancy homebrew language for "moved") our beer from its primary fermentation into its secondary fermentation. We know now that we probably moved it a little early, but since we're learning and everything, we'll just chalk it up to experience and hope for the best....
The beautiful thing about ales is how forgiving they are.
Yes, you screwed up.
But probably not bad enough that your beer will be awful. Just let it finish! It won't be the exact product the directions tell you about, but it'll still be delicious and refreshing.
In all likelihood, you'll probably end up with a lovely, light session-style (low alcohol, perfect for drinking all afternoon long) ale for the end of the summer-- which, NGL, sounds AWESOME.
Write what you did down, and don't do it next time. Easy!

Seconded! A pale ale, like the salesperson said, is fairly forgiving of a multitude of sins-- but nothing forgives lack of sanitation. Skunky beer is never fun.
For future experiments, definitely keep a log. And try out things that sound strange! Some of our favorite batches involved dried lavender flowers, another bourbon-soaked oak chips. Have fun, and definitely host a sampling party.
On that note, next time you come to Boston for anything (PAX East? :D), consider yourself invited to my house for a pint (or several) of our homebrew. Totally serious.

In which my son and I make our own beer
Ryan is going to be 22 at the end of the month. For those of you who have been here since I wrote the 13 on 31 post, you now know how I feel every single day. The rest of you can get off my lawn before I call your parents. So the other day, he and I were having a beer together, and Ryan said, "W...

I love you a little harder for that bit of Haunted Mansion. That was my favorite part of the whole ride!

the obligatory addendum to the obligatory w00tstock post
When I wrote my w00tstock post, I totally forgot to mention that we put some video interludes into the show, to make sure that we were giving the maximum A/V Club experience to the audience. There were some very funny shorts, including Mister Bungle getting the Riff Trax treatment, the credits f...
Today's reason for wanting to hug Wil:
He closes the book's intro with "Namaste".
Namaste, Wil. I owe you 57 hugs now.

this is the introduction to memories of the future
Memories of the Future should have been released already, but it was significantly delayed when I did a whole bunch of the "acting" part of the "Writer/Actor" multiclassing I've been doing for the last few levels. However, I took a giant leap toward release (wow, that sounds dirty) about 40 minu...
