i'll be there, will you?

dieu du ciel rosée d'hibiscus

in short: om nom nom

longer: the label is captivating, i think because i'm torn between thinking the woman on it is cute, or that she looks like heath ledger's joker. the beer pours a unique, beige\salmon color and is quite cloudy. pours with a well-crafted head. floral aromas, slightly tangy. the flavor is interesting: it tastes like it could be wild, farmy or funky, but it's not. it's like the sophisticated city cousin to the rustic farmhouse ales that we all so enjoy. slightly acidic at first, the yeast dominates the end. the complexity is neatly constrained. this could easily become one of my favorite beers... i've had it twice in two days now, but both times it was served around 65 degrees; i'd like to taste it cold.

$4.99 for 12 ounces at western market. word is, less than 10 cases came to michigan. we'll be at the montreal brewpub next weekend. i'll take notes.

a bizzare imac issue

at some point, my hard drive became completely full. i thought it was too many podcasts filling the place up. i deleted them. nope. so i looked it up online. sounded like a virus or a "log file overrun". no viruses currently messing with mac osx. i assumed it was a log file overrun, where some file was just growing infinitely larger. i stopped using the imac, because aaron's was sitting right next to it, and i would take mine to the shop sooner or later. when i turned it back on today, it was all okay, nothing wrong. yet. we'll see how this pans out.

sorry i've been gone; hear's something horrible to look at.

i haven't said anything in a while. i promise i'll never abandon you again my (nonexistant) loyal readers.

this mini-doc has the raw deal. can obama fix things like this? i ask because this is a symptom of the root problems facing us as a nation. how can people be okay with this? industrial capitalism allows a breakdown of the ethical and moral standards that make us human. watch, and be disgusted with the lack of said humanity.
