Car free days 25 - 28

Day 25 was Thanksgiving. I spent the day lounging, cooking, eating, and sleeping, as one should on this day. I also completed my Thanksgiving day tasking.

Day 26 was black Friday. I went out on a geohashing expedition, but was unable to reach the point due to a steep, wet, muddy, and leaf covered incline. On the expedition, I did get some food, and a friend picked me up and dropped me off. However, the friend would have had to have driven right by my apartment to get to/from the hashpoint anyways. Other than that I read.

Day 27 I read through most of the day, took a bit of a nap, and was called to see if I wanted to head out to HUB (Hopworks Urban Brewery) for dinner and a couple of drinks. I agreed, and hopped on the train to a friend's who would drive me to where the first friend called from. We then sat around for a bit watching TV, and headed down to the brewpub, where I had a delicious sandwich chock full of Italian meats, and three beers. The beers were Velvet ESB (because it is awesome), Cask Abominable (because I wanted something new), and Dark Helmet (because of the name).

Day 28 was spent completely in my apartment, sleeping, reading, TVing and the like.

Car free day 11

Day 11 started off like any normal transit riding day. After work, however, I was in a little bit of a rush, though, because movie night started at 6PM, so I had a lot of ground to cover. I quickly walked the 1+ mile to the train station, hopped on the train to my place. Then I hopped off, got to my place, changed, grabbed a 6-pack of beer (Full Sail's Wassail), and headed off to my friend's place. I made it there a few minutes late (thanks to the train running a few minutes late itself), but not very much so. We watched Unbreakable and Strange Brew, ate pizza, and drank various kinds of beer. Then I took the train back to my place. All in all, a really good night.

A TV-laden week

I've been sick for the past few days, including taking some sick time off of work. I gave up on Torchwood (again), and started watching The Office (US). Given my extra time off of work, I have now finished it (up to the latest one), and will probably put it on my DVR. Its not a show I wish to own on DVD, but its worth a few laughs, so DVR worthy. I watched the episode of Stargate Universe which my DVR missed, but have yet to watch last week's episode. I tried to start watching 30 Rock, but seem to just get annoyed by it.

I've been taking a short break from beer, due to being sick. I'll start drinking it again soon, as I am quickly getting better.

I skipped out on a couple of geohashing expeditions this past weekend, solely because I opted for napping/resting.

Last night was more Torchwood on TV.

Laurelwood Free Range Red, and Pike Kiltlifter for beer.

I also began the process of migrating the geohashing image tagging web page to my file server.

Random stuff

Its been a while since I updated. Here are some developments on what's going on:

Beer - I've been in a sampling mood, so have been buying tall boys instead of six-packs. Mostly Rogue of different styles, but also a stout by Pelican, and an ale by Cascade Lakes. I still have one more tall boy (don't remember what kind), and a six pack of Pike's Kilt Lifter Scottish Ale yet to sample. I'll probably work on that later this week/weekend. Last week I joined the Rogue Nation at the brewpub down in Portland, and I feel I should be a good citizen and head down there again for beers relatively soon.

TV - I finished Doctor Who, all the way up to the end of Series 5. I started in on Torchwood, but I have a feeling that it will be a bit slower to get through it all. I missed some of my typical TV shows on DVR due to a problem with my cable. It turned out to be a faulty router, which was preventing my STB from getting its guide.

SF0 - I completed centroid exploration, but am very disappointed in the completion. It could have been so much better!

Geohashing - I fixed a lingering bug in the ape. I just didn't know it was lingering because its been a while since someone planned an expedition before coordinates were announced. I then proceeded to forget to turn the ape back on, so that it wasn't updating for a day or two.

Music - I have found myself going back to an old favorite, The Dandy Warhols, recently. Though this morning I did create a new Pandora station for Bloc Party.
