House Hunting

We're off to look at homes in Seattle tomorrow. This is just a wee bit stressful, given that home prices are roughly twice as high there as in a place like Cleveland or Charlotte.

A few mentions...Jonathan's Halloween bash last Friday was quite fun. Jonathan and Emilie were Zack Branigan and Leela from Futurama. I also saw a Frankenstein and bride couple, a few characters from Street Fighter II, several characters from some cartoon called the Ventures (very nicely done costumes, although I don't know the reference at all), a Dude (Big Lebowski), Black Mamba, and many more. I went to Kroger and bought a bunch of props which, once assembled about my person, actually resembled a unified costume that could best be described as Goth Princess. I would post a picture, but small children may happen across these humble pages.

The World Series is over! No more baseball! Yay!

A week ago, I made a kickass eggplant curry, which reminded me of Sonja's great curries (also because they gifted us with a large sack of Basmati rice when they left). I also thought of you guys when Tony and Joanna called me up that night to invite me out to the pub quiz. We actually got called up for the $160 bonus question (Joanna went for the group) which was "In the movie Memento, who killed his wife, according to a tattoo?" None of us knew it, which sucks because I love that movie. Once again, we did great at Hodgepodge, great at Presidents and Politics, OK at Movies, fairly badly on the Picture section, and just got murdered in the Music section.

Have a great week, and wish us luck on finding a great house!

  1. Good luck with the househunting! I'm sure you'll find something nice. Anything is going to be better than having your present landlord, right?
    We've been really busy with the company set-up - our website launches in mid-November but you can already look at the holding page at www.naturesheadeurope.com.
    We're about to start brewing, but things are a little different here. No liquid yeast - we'll have to make a starter culture in a bottle - no One-step and plastic bins instead of glass carboys.
    Also because we left all our bottles with you, we have to drink 40 bottles of beer before we can bottle our homebrew! Tough luck. We've just ordered 36 bottles of different St. Peter's Ales for this very purpose.

  2. Yes. Sucks to be you, for sure.

    Want me to Fed Ex a case of One Step? I can't imagine life without it.

    Congratulations on finally getting your distribution empire off the ground!
