Aura

Yeah that's a good idea Jacob. My only concern is getting them enough sunlight, since she's in an apartment. Can they just sit next to the window during the day? As far as the effort goes, I know she'd have no problem keeping up with it.

Miloko's an August release, so I'll hoard for you. Mike, just saw your post. The cocktail regime reminds me of the scene from I, Robot where all of the robots are saying "one of us, one of us."

I know exactly what to bring you when I visit Cali in the fall, good sir .

So my girlfriend's birthday is coming up and I was going to get her some books and wine, but this past weekend while we were at the grocery store she specifically mentioned wanting an indoor herb garden. Now I'm barely capable of cooking for myself and quite honestly don't know shit about herbs, let alone herb gardens... but I was looking around and something like this seems to be pretty much what she is looking for. I'm a little concerned about this particular unit's noise and lighting, but otherwise it looks like a decent product. Anyone used anything like this or have suggestions for alternatives? The extent of additional info I can provide on what she wants is that it needs to be good at growing basil, which she uses in a lot of her recipes (all of which I really enjoy). The AeroGarden units seem to do really really well with basil, so that's a plus. Thanks folks.

I'm a little late, but amen Mike.

Great day so far. I went out to lunch at a local mexican place with another student and three of my business professors. Sharing a margarita pitcher with your teachers at 1 p.m. on a Wednesday = fucking winning at life.

Goddamn, that looks absurdly good. Congrats Al! Steve, you da man.

Wishing you and your husband the very best, Shelly.

Had a great weekend with Allison and her family, celebrated her mom's birthday and went out to breakfast this morning with her dad. Also started running again, six miles in the last two days. Been looking in the mirror and am really not happy with the direction I'm headed in. Allison is trying to get back at it too; she signed up for a 5K in three weeks and is gearing up for that. Both of these things combined have me more motivated. Pretty much decided that I'm going to pass on that internship my cousin has been trying to get me into. Again, a combination of factors here - 1) I've really no desire or interest to get into sales, even as an intern; 2) a senior consultant in Chicago (who's been serving as my mentor of sorts) told me that while the internship and the company are well-known and respected, he didn't think working for them would help me as a candidate for consulting jobs; 3) it's time for me to work full-time. At this point, working an internship seems like it will just delay the inevitable. I'd honestly rather spend all of my time job hunting with no distractions and start a full-time gig as soon as possible once I graduate. The consulting mentor helped me completely revamp my resume last week and I'm feeling refreshed, so that's a plus.

The Bruery Rugbrod. Good stuff, I'm really liking it.

Agreed. Best of luck Ken, the description sure sounded nice .

Stone brewery release night here in Central Illinois. At kellehers I had Oaked Arrogant Bastard, double dry-hopped Sublimely Self Righteous, Double Bastard with chipotle peppers, 2010 Imperial Russian Stout, Ruination IPA, and Highway 78 all on tap for a grand total of $11.

^whatever Al said.^ Have a great one Tyler .

Happy birthday Mike .

Aye. I prefer the more robust varieties.

Old Rasputin. It's a little too textbook for an RIS.

Mike did you hear that they're going to bottle Zombie Dust? Rumor is they'll be in 6 packs.

Welcome to the TP club Seth, I like the subtlety in your pair's aesthetics. I need to get black 02 pads at some point.

A little bit earlier... The Bruery Coton. DDG Emelius, you are very lucky.

Wtf. Jealous.

Cool stuff Emelius, looks like a great time .

No pic but Boulevard (Smokestack Series) The Sixth Glass Quadruple. Better than I expected.

Happy birthday Doug!

x2 I am super jealous of all you Cali-folk. But I guess it all evens out, good stuff both here and there.

Happy birthday Doug!
