OTFP: Where The Hell Is Fall? Edition

Saw a doc last week called The Century of Self. Well worth the watch. On my top ten list now, next to Pulp Fiction and my old audio tapes of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Sorry, had to be done.

Winter is where it’s at. Lots of Christmas songs I can think of I like as well as SNOW SNOW SNOW!

And this being Seattle I know I end up missing school due to about 1-2 inches of snow.

Fall is Awesome because of Football and the chill in the Air, although it sucks to ride a road bike in and I am not into cyclocross.

I had the OKT Widmer the other night during the Miami and Jets game.. I was disapointed that Miami lost for some reason, I have no attachment to either team.
I also had some Drop Top also while layin some sod.

TV I like Brian L Selections above

But I also really like Bones, Leverage(out of season), Glades(A&E has a good show, shocking), Weeds (Showtime) , I also watch extreme home makeover because the houses they build are awesome and inspiring although I hate ty pennington.

Books, I cant read something for more than 10 min without falling asleep.

I havnt been to a movie in while but I want to go see dinner for Shmucks and the Other Guys. I saw Inception and it wasnt my cup of tea, for some reason.

The cool people know what I’m talking about.

This guy is my hero.

I also like sandwiches.

And Doritos.

Anybody see this crazy story

I heard it on the radio while driving to work today.. I still cant believe it

• Get lightheaded as hell sitting across the line of windows instead of facing the same side as the driver.

• Guy to my left smells awful.

• I kid you not, the two girls to my right were talking about vomit for about 3 minutes.

Thank god we had few stops because that was the longest 20 minutes ever.

The only show I watch on regular TV is Community, and I watch it on Hulu. My bud has been pressuring me to watch HIMYM for awhile. NPH is awesome, and I loved Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long-Blog, so maybe I shall.

Who else is stoked out of their mind for Game of Thrones?

really surprised me, and is so far my favorite beer of Fall 2010. Not typically a big fan of New Belgium beers, but that one exceeded my expectations.

I always look forward to the Marzen-style beers that come out around Oktoberfest time.

by Emerald City Brewery. Had some on tap at the Triangle before the 49ers game – good stuff.

Actually, I’d buy it no matter what – since they took over the Old Rainier Brewery – it’s a local pride thing. That building needs to stay an active brewery, it’s just the way things should be.

(Refrain from saying “Portlander” ‘cause I’m not one. I’m Alaskan, big effing difference.)

I’m sure many of you love Belmont Station, myself included, but I encourage you to try The Beer Mongers on Division and 12th. Selection is not as vast, but those dudes know their business, and they really educated me on Meads, Sours, and the Old World Pils verse the New World Pils.

I found two things out pertaining to Mead. 1: never drink Viking Blod when you want to enjoy…well, anything but being drunk. I tried drinking it before the Hawks game and had to stop, ’cause it was like doing shots.
2. They are buying a bunch of mead from a Montana winery called Hidden Legend that flagships meads. The guy there (Josh) let me sample some of their Wild Elderberry Mead, and it was spectacular. It smelled oddly like my father though…

Anyone have any good recommendations? What have you been loving lately?

I’ve been listening to a lot of Miles Davis and Bobby Hutcherson (killer jazz vibraphonist) as well as the Dodos and the new Thermals album. The new Thermals, if anyone is a fan, doesn’t really touch their back catalog but it still has some really bright spots and is worth repeated listens.

I’m getting to new pairs of skis this season:
The Sir Francis Bacon by Line (117 underfoot, some rocker)
The Hellbent by K2 (135 underfoot, a good amount of rocker)

The Bacon will be for normal conditions/a foot of new and hiking.

SO FUCKING EXCITED.

John Brirmingham’s trilogy: Weapons of Choice, Designated Targets, and Final Impact.
A Fun alternate history combining sci- fi and WWII military fiction.

I like it, but I like summer more so it’s a bit of a bummer.

Beer: Not really seasonal, but last night I was fortunate enough to try two fantastic beers from Smuttynose. Their Baltic Porter was outstanding and would have made my evening on its own, but the Really Old Brown Dog Ale was pantsplodingly amazing, one of the best beers I’ve ever had in my life. Unbelievably rich and delicious.

TV/Movies: none, really.

Book: This one doesn’t suck.

You know, in case you were absolutely dying to see Jar-Jar jump off the screen in 3D….

I already used up the Packers in Week 2 for my office pool, something I’m already regretting since they’re the obvious pick this week. Right now I’m leaning towards the Falcons (with SF in implosion mode) or the Chargers. The Saints have too much future value for me to burn them this early.

But Community makes me laugh harder than I have in awhile…every damn episode.
