One Thing After Another

drpaisleyI have been remiss in my posting, and there have been so many interesting things to talk about, like driving in the Stephen King-quality fog up to Lawrence last weekend (the road was fine, but there was nothing but white right up to the edges of the highway), watching KU finally wake up and beat Nebraska with NPulsifer (got to taste Magic Hat #9; the description of it as a "Not Quite Pale Ale" is very much correct) and other adventures. But the biggest story, of course, was getting Dragonet her new laptop Tuesday. She is so happy. It's a good thing.
But while I was at Nebraska Furniture Mart picking it up, I got myself a 1T LaCie external hard drive. It was the only one that specifically said on the box that the backup included had a Mac version. Got it set up, partitioned and the initial backup done that night. Wednesday evening, before I went to NPulsifer and Gisele's place to watch KU play Baylor, I began the process of transferring the 105G of tunes on my machine to their new home on the 681G partition. That process continued until this afternoon, almost 48 hours. Obviously, I need to get a USB 2.0 card for my machine. This looks like it will do the job, just need to scrape the shekels together.
The weekend promises a distinct lack of required activities, which is a nice change of pace. Sunday will be spent watching the conference championship games. I am definitely rooting for Nawlins to finally put a stake through Brett Favre's heart (re: last week's NO/AZ playoff game, once again Kurt Warner comes to the Big Easy looking for football glory, only to have his BFF Jesus desert him come game time to spend the day in the French Quarter turning water into Hurricanes*). It's the other game I am conflicted about. I would have no problem sending Peyton and the Colts home, but I really don't want to encourage the spawn of noted sociopath and former coach Buddy Ryan. But then, I remember that GRRM is a Jets fan, and his team making the Super Bowl would make him deliriously happy.
*Note to Smofbabe: the drink, not the U.

Date: 2010-01-23 12:47 pm (UTC)As for the playoffs, I'm in the same quandary you are about the AFC game but even worse: as a Dolphins fan I hate the Jets, and as an SEC fan I love Peyton Manning. Seems like it should be easy, but GRRM the Jets Fan is a factor, as is the fact that the Colts threw their last game to the Jets by resting their first-string players, thus ensuring that the Jets would get the wildcard into the playoffs, which pissed me off. So, harder to decide than it looks. I suspect that I'll be supporting Peyton, despite the potential heartache to the New Mexico resident.

Date: 2010-01-24 10:51 pm (UTC)Great Divide's Yeti Imperial Stout is also quite good, especially the oak aged variety (the chocolate oak-aged is really tasty, but not technically "Imperial" with the addition, but don't let that stop you from trying it).
Schlafly's Imperial Stout is aged in bourbon barrels
North Coast Brewing's Old Rasputin
Boulevard Imperial Stout (part of the Smokestack Series, available in 750ml bottles)
All of those should be reasonably easy to find in a decent liquor store. Have fun!
