Crafty Weekend

This past weekend I brewed a blueberry IPA with only a finishing hops. I realized during the Anchor Brewery tour that when I homebrew, I use too many hops for my tastes. That's pretty silly. So this time I refrained from using hops much and used a blueberry extract instead. I love the smell of hops, especially when I'm brewing. I don't much like to drink hoppy beer though. Perhaps the Moss Street Brewery is being resurrected?

I also started making costumes for our Circus Cafe Burning Man theme camp. I have this really fun tutu made out of a variety of colors. And I have so many more ideas of things to make.

I've had a really hard time motivating to work this week. I wonder why that is. I still love my co-workers, but I just don't really want to work much. I suppose to be more specific, you could say that I'm no longer "obsessed" with work. I'm enjoying my summer.

Oh, yeah, Yar - I have appropriated your sweatshirt. It's very warm! You better come over and visit soon if you expect to get it back.

Hi, Here I Am

I feel really displaced. There are a number of reasons for that. Like the fact that Dylan is gone and then he's leaving again for another trip. Also, I was really sick for a while, and sleeping for ~4 days and then working from home for several more caused me to be displaced from my office. Then there's the fact that we have a lull in the projects we're working on. I see the work load coming, but I don't have it yet. Not only do I not have it yet, but I don't have enough specs to pre-emtively strick either. So I'm in this holding pattern.
In other news, check this fuel efficient new car out. It starts out as the car I wanted to buy a used version of anyway, just for the mileage. Though it looks like they had a bad year or something. So maybe I'll try and get one of these. I'm all for supporting new technology, if I can afford it. What do you think something like this goes for, anyway?
Let's see if I can find it. I found one blog that mentioned it would be over 25K, but I can't reference it right now. I'm feeling too lazy to get the link, though I admit that it is possible to find it.
