Woke up early, did homework most of the day.  Finished homework and then rode my bike to the park and watched the fireworks.  Fireworks were lame.  Seen better in the suburbs.  Rode home.  Posted on a messageboard.  Happy Birthday America.

Woke up around 5pm.  Liquor stores closed in my state.  Bought 18 3.2% beers and drank by my pool until about 9.  Walked on to my campus to watch fireworks.  Came back around 11:30, got a 30 pack of Keystone Light.  Set of fireworks in my apt complex with neighbors and friends (as mentioned before, it is basically a commune with a really private courtyard).  Ate a veggie hamburger.  America, Fuck Yeah!


Later, after drugs and most of the thirty pack gone, shot Bottle rockets at our neighbors across the fence because they were throwing fireworks at us.

Hung out, the boyfriend and I cleaned the house.  Ran some errands in the afternoon. 

In the evening, we drank scotch while we made crab-bacon stuffed mushrooms (mmm!) for dinner.  And then drank red wine with dinner.  Then drank some beer after that, and watched fireworks from the tiny lagoon-park across the street from our house (well, condo, actually).  It's like I was TRYING to concoct the most unholy of hangovers.  Bleh.

Went to this, got one of these, cooked and ate this, and then watched our crazy-ass neighbors set off fireworks.  It was all well and good until one big tube fell over and sent blasts into neighboring driveways (fortunately not ours).  And, mercifully, the kids slept through it.

Jesus Christ, wombie! that's some disgusting combos right there. Wine does not mix with anything. Poor you.

Finished planting the aramanth.  Went geocaching with the wife and kid (niece was busy sleeping until noon and the park ended up not allowing dogs).  Drank a lot of my bavarian hefeweizen homebrew and played video games until dinner time (grilled sausages on rolls with lots more homebrew).   Got some nice presents and a Coldstone ice cream cake for my birthday.  Violated local fireworks ordinances for about an hour.  Not a bad day at all.

Grilled a slab of ribs and a few brats.  Took daughter to my office, sat behind my desk and watched fireworks over the State Capitol from my office window.  Downloaded the open source version of Transport Tycoon and played with that, which I intend to do again in a few minutes.

Fellow homebrewer!  Woot!  I just made a Belgian quadrupel that turned out very nicely.  Not a summery beer, really (your hefe sounds marvelous), but tasty.  I'm an extract brewer, and we usually put our 5 gallon/20 L batches in a Corny keg.  One day, one day, we shall have teh sexy N2 capability.  And maybe even all-grain, when we live somewhere with a nice basement and/or garage.  But for now it's just regular CO2 w/ the kegerator.
