Get a drink thrown in my face
C'mon! 2 years ago

This is an oft mocked goal. I want the world to know how serious I am about this goal. I want that sort of romantic shock, and the stares of restaurant patrons. I want someone to actually be this angry with me, and not by any of my caressing attempts to diffuse the situation.

do the splits
In other words, fix myself. 2 years ago

I used to be able to do the splits without a second thought. Now, thanks to a year old hip flexor injury, I can barely touch my toes. I pray that the rest of aging goes more smoothly, and that somehow I will magically be able to afford yoga classes again.

find the perfect stout
Shakesphere v. Imperial 2 years ago

To be fair, I really found two of the perfect stouts. Rogue Brewery (shout out to Newport, Oregon!) makes some of my favorite beers in general. In a recent visit to the brewery, I was able to confirm that Rogue Imperial Stout and Rogue Shakesphere Stouts are generally unmatchable. Both have dense layers of malty, chocolaty and coffee flavor, with the smoothy creamy moutfeel that only a stout can bring. The imperial is more intense- hoppier and slightly more alcoholic, so the choice between them really comes down to mood and what you’ve got to do later in the day.

(PS Rogue Chocolate Stout is also damn good, but because of it’s niche quality doesn’t quite fall under the heading “perfect” but rather most hedonistic beer ever.)
