Had a very fun but rather too early night last night. I went to Rock Bottom Brewery for dinner and then to see The Illusionist with cloakedrose. The food was tasty, though my fajita chicken was a little too salty. YES, it's still me typing this. It was amusing watching cloakedrose realize that different beers have different tastes! Yup. pierceheart, you would like the fact that they have some German-inspired dishes there now.

The movie was phenomenal. Absolutely magical. Ed Norton is always great, and he had some great co-stars to work with in this, like Rufus Sewell, who always plays a great bad guy. The magic tricks are amazing. I highly recommend it. When that was over, I came home and for lack of anything better to do, started watching Quills on DVD. Fell asleep over it at about 11:30, for 15 minutes or so, and turned it off to go to bed.

Today I'm going to clean my house JUST IN CASE pierceheart's party is going to be here. I STILL don't know for sure. But I need to clean it anyway, just so it will be clean. pierceheart has offered to help, but I don't know what time I can expect his assistance, so I should get started early and make some good headway. I don't know if I'll get the beef stew made today or tomorrow. Depends on when I can get the crock pot. We'll see.

Edit: Yes, the party is still on the 30th. I just need to put in some good solid time cleaning the place this weekend, because I'm not just talking about picking up a few things. I need to do a major, in-depth cleaning of this place like it hasn't seen in months and months. Mucking out the reflector pans on the stove. Cleaning the top of the cabinets in the kitchen. Changing the futon cover (if I still have the other one). Cleaning the fridge. Everything needs cleaning.

Party? If I knew, I don't know now...
Um, yeah - party?

Remember when we said to keep the 30th of September free for his party?

It's the one in two weeks, right? Or did we miss a date change?

Yes, it's in 2 weeks, but I don't have much free time next weekend for the cleaning, and I'd rather not have to do it all at night when I come home.

yuppers
then there's Sam Adams with a thousand and one different types which pretty much all taste the same -- or is my palette dead?

Maybe you're not a beer person. :)

Also, while Sam Adams is decent, they're not the best brewery out there, and rarely do their beers truly exemplify a style.

If I gave you a taste of Red God Pale Ale, Young's Oatmeal Stout, and Franziskaner Hefe, you'd be able to tell a major difference between those.

yeah, you're progbably right -- suds is pretty much suds -- but I'm not too old to learn -- Red God Pale Ale, Young's Oatmeal Stout, and Franziskaner are these availavle nationwide or will I have to wait till I get back to m'place in MA?

Re: Maybe you're not a beer person

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Red God is a local, alas, and you can't even get it bottled. You can only get it at a particular brewpub. But Young's and Franziskaner are both available nationwide at any store with a good imported beer section.

I try to do a big spring open the windows freshen everything up air the place out cleaning in, duh, end March, and again just before we close up the house for cozying in for the winter. I say try. Because no way am I clearing out the entire fridge and moping it down, and also pulling it out of the wall and vacuuming behind it. But I know I should. :-)

Luckily, we both chip in for professional cleaners twice a month, they do the BIG stuff (wash floors, carpets, blah blah), and then the little stuff becomes manageable. But when I do something big myself, it's always worth the effort, VERY satisfying. :-)
