oof. Yeah, I also have a test in that class tomorrow. (Latin)

But yeah, i just found out that I basically wasted all of yesterday. Apparently I need to turn in an "organized" outline of the book along with my paper, which means I need to re-do the outline I did yesterday.

Luckily the paper itself is just a summarization and review of this book. So, it shouldn't be that bad (?)

The good news is, tomorrow is my last day of classes. And then I have 3 days of nothing, then my Arabic exam, then 4 or 5 days of nothing, then my film exam.
And then I get to go home. It sounds soon, but it's in 10 days.

That's because you're not drinking the right sort of beer.  Why dontcha try some Belgian framboise beer?  That might convince you that beer can be delicious.  Then move on to stuff like German rauchbier (smoked barley! mmm!).

man. this reminds me of when I was little, and my dad gave me a sip of beer.

It tasted horrible. he explained that it was an "acquired taste."
I took this to mean it would somehow taste different when I was older. But, no. It still tastes like shit. wtf.

I'm ashamed to admit that I made up an interview for a paper required for a class in my major. The assignment required an interview, and I made it up as I made up the paper.

Even worse, I got a 93.

My degree's a shambles. *sob*

[pmcd9]

I did something similar to that, only I not only made up the interview, I made up the entire person.

[Choop]

Interview + Person: check.

let's be honest, people. What I am doing right now is probably a hunts' move.

but drinking anything out of a shot-glass is just hell of satisfying.

although I'm pretty sure drinking hell of caffeine/energy shit is basically the opposite of what they are designed for, it sure as hell works pretty well. 1 shot is basically the perfect amount of anything to drink at one time.

5000 mg of "energy blend" (l-carnitine, glucose, caffeine, guarana, inositol, glucoronolactone, maltodextrin) is probably a lot to drink at once, right?
2000 mg of Taurine?

You'd think they could put something into it so it wouldn't be the color of... something a mad scientist would give to you.

Eh... well I wouldn't reccomend someone with severe high blood pressure or diabetes mellitus taking all of it, but a healthy adult should be alright.

l-carnitine (mineral/vitamin), glucose (sugar), caffeine (mild stimulant), guarana (unpurified caffiene), inositol (vitamin), glucoronolactone (sugar), maltodextrin (sugar)

5000mg is 5 grams.  A gram is basically 1 mL of water.  An ounce is about 30 mL.  So you can think of the volume of this being only about 1/6 of an ounce.  Probably the size of a big vitamin tablet.

2 g Taurine, another parent of caffiene.  Should be fine with them as long as you don't get addicted and drink a full one every single day.

I have previously in a thread made a response to almost this exact statement. The short form is "you know, sometimes it's possible to just not like something that other people like".

It's like telling me I'm only heterosexual because I haven't found the right guy to bone yet. (Or, conversely, telling a gay guy he just hasn't found the right woman yet, which is apparently more socially unacceptable than the straight-guy version.)

"The Right Beer" for some people would be something that does not taste like beer. Not even like good beer.

[pmcd9]

I was savaged here once for suggesting that no one likes the taste of beer.  Savaged I say.  People drink beer because it's a cheap way to get drunk.  I say that people who drink beer for the taste are in serious denial.

[robot_god]

The problem here is the definition of the word "like" or, more completely, the word "good."  If "good" means "subjectively pleasurable" then Paul deserves his savaging.  However, if "good" means "The Good," as in Plato's World of Forms, then this subject is open to further debate.

I think it is touching that everyone is so concerned that the beer-haters have tragically never been exposed to truly good beer. They just want to make sure you have had the Real Thing before you give up, at least.  I suppose I would feel the same way if you told me you didn't like chocolate. 

I have had lots of very high quality beer, often sitting not six feet from the place it was made.  I can appreciate that some of it is good and some of it is bad, and I have preferences among different types.  My palate has been quite highly educated.  However, I still never want to drink a whole glass of the stuff.  But at least I know for sure it's not that I am missing something.

I like the taste of beer.  Good beer and bad beer. I think I'll buy some on the way home.

I don't care if you drink it or not.  I won't give you shit about drinking bad beer or not drinking good beer.  Unless you're KeithHernandez, because I've made it my personal mission to fuck with him.

Just 'cause I keep some '96 Orfina white reisling on the rack doesn't mean I can't belly up to a case of Miller now and then.

Almost-holiday spirit! good cheer! awww! *hugs all around*

Hey, I like good beer and bad beer too.
