Went to a barleywine tasting with pierceheart and leenah last night, which left me rather heavily buzzed. Ok, drunk. Barleywine ain't a wimpy beer. Especially not the 15% ABV Dogfish Head Olde School that was my favourite. Yeesh.

There was much tastiness, but afterwards I was a bit off my stride in terms of behaving like a normal person once I got home. Oy. Where the fuck are the rewind and delete buttons? Sheesh. I had a bit of a headache this morning when I woke up, too.

One good thing: I now have a candle at my Venus shrine again. I think it's time to do a bit more work with her.

Random: I'm thinking of finally taking a stage name for belly dance. The ones I've turned over in my head in the past just didn't seem right (or at least not completely). The one I've got in mind now is Anahit Karyan. Anahit is a moon-goddess and mother-goddess in pre-Christian Armenian religion. Some sites I've seen also refer to her as a goddess of sacred dance. Karyan means "the dark one" (also Armenian, and used as a feminine name). I'm only worried that it's too similar in sound to Anahid Sofian, the name of a much better dancer than I'll ever be.

Oy, meeting starts soon...

why not simply reverse it?

Karyan Anahit.

Don't like that, and I think Anahit works better as a first name.

Don't forget, NERAX (http://www.nerax.org/) is May 3rd-6th this year... I'll miss it but I will probably go to the Cambridge beer festival (http://www.cambridgebeerfestival.com/) instead :)

Was that at Downtown in Davis Square? I keep meaning to make it to one of their beer events, but I always forget.

Yup! Next one should be two weeks from the last one (March 6)

Ooh, I like the dance name. I wouldn't worry too much about it sounding the same--the K and S sounds are too different. I mean, there's someone named Amra Gamal or something, and I keep thinking she's Amira Jamal, but they're completely seperate teachers, not just a typo.

HA! Interesting. :) Thanks.

Ohhh. I wonder if you had happen to you the same thing that happens to me when I drink wheat beer? It turns me into a total psycho as far as I can tell..

too bad I missed that, but by the sound of it, I would have crashed my car on the way home :P

Maybe NERAX this year...

Oooh, yes! NERAX kicks ass.
