The Mad Elf Ale is 11% APV

Just FYI.
Since I didn't bother to look until half way thru my first.
Though it didn't stop me from opening a second.
And now I'm blogging. Always a good combo.

Since I've last been here:

1. We've seen, in concert:
   The Legendary Pink Dots
   Robyn Hitchcock
   The Gutter Twins
   King's X
   The Avett Brothers
2. We've watched more Looney Tunes than you can shake a stick at and I'm considering buying Volume 2.
3. We went Trick-or-Treating; The Girl dressed as SuperGirl and The Boy as The Scout (who is some character from some video game. And somewhere there is a gamer-geek rolling over in his grave over that sentence.)
4. I attended two office Holiday parties. At the first, I learned that if you are a drunken husband who beats up your wife at the holiday party, The Thing's coworkers will take you out in the parking lot and beat the shit out of you. Kudos to them. At the second, I learned that I can consume champagne, red wine and 6 Cosmopolitians in one evening and neither vomit or get fired.
5. 3 Hole Punch was diagnosed with Emphesymia. Yes, she is a smoker. No, I have no further details.
6. I've discovered that next Spring The Avett Brothers (who are one of The Thing's favorites) will be touring with The Dave Matthews Band (whom The Thing despise with every sexy fiber of his being)(and the unsexy fibers as well)(whom I absolutely adore)(The Dave Matthews Band, that is)(and The Thing too, but you know). So I find the irony greatly amusing.
7. The Paperweight and 3 Hole Punch broke up. Yes, I find this greatly amusing as well. No, I have no further details.
8. Things have improved greatly with The Thing, but I'm still very homesick and I don't know if I'll ever learn to like living in Maryland. And I really miss Girlfriend.
9. I've been promoted, in introduction, from 'girlfriend' to 'fiancee'.
10. I've discovered The Boy has a blog of his own. Yes, I've read it. No, he doesn't know. No, I will not give you the link.
11. I watched the entire V mini-series, entire Seasons of Family Guy, American Dad, and Twilight Zone and I've started FireFly. We also watched, approxiametly, 47 movies. I recommend Intermission.
12. The Boy took his Senior pictures and the ASVAB's making feel extremly fucking old.
13. My hair went from red to blonde to brown w/ blonde highlights.
14. I officially made friends with one of the other neighborhood moms when they invited us over for pizza and beer and we went and we had a good time.
15. I read 7 books, discovering Philip Roth in the process, and only have 10 more left in my pile-of-unread-books pile. I hope I get more books for Christmas.
16. If you go long enough without blogging, Madison will offer you Merlot.
