The other night I did not catch The Decemberists at The Tabernacle in Atlanta. I am told it was an excellent show. I had actually intended to go with my friends before I took this new job, but then I had to depart quickly. Not so much like a thief in the night, but more as a rodeo clown falling out of a medical helicopter.
I'm sure I will get to see great shows here, but as it is, I regret not doing more with my friends in Athens. Eh, whatcha gonna do.
Things are busy as always. Pulling a 10 hour 4-day schedule is new to me, but it's nice to have 3 days off. Early shifts can be tough, especially when you came back late the last night from hangin' with your work friends. Luckily, geeks don't stay up too late anyway.
I will be seeing Serenity soon, hopefully. If you have never watched/rented Firefly, now's the time people. Serenity now!

I've found the only home-brew supply store in Las Vegas. The owner was a home brewer and decided to open the store when the previous only-brewshop-in-las-vegas guy closed up. They have a bit different array of brew styles available out here, although it's mostly coastal recipes. It's a little hard to keep a carboy under 80 degrees out here during most of the year. I may invest in a mini-fridge in order to try some lagers. My pal in Portland has also started homebrewing (after enjoying a persistent supply of the fine recipes I tried in Georgia). He's working on his first batch, an anchor steam ale. It should be very tasty. I also picked up an anchor steam kit and a chocolate stout mash pack. We'll see how that turns out...
The delightful 'Hang in there, kid' poster is an inspiration to us all. Yes you unflappable little kitty. I shall hang in there. I will do anything you say. Anything.
