The grocery store is an easy walk from my apartment, therefore I walk. And it was time for a beer run.
Still, just because a man walks out of the grocery store laden with beer, why the strange looks? So what if he has a case of Deschutes Twilight Ale on his shoulder, and a 22-oz. bottle of Rogue Chipotle Ale in his other hand. It’s just me stocking up for the month.
Relax, folks. Have a beer. Just not my Chipotle.
In the PC Market at 29th & Willamette… at least, as long as I can control myself. 22 oz of chillied-up beer? Now that’s what I call summer drinking:

"Dedicated to Spanish author Juan de la Cueva, who, in 1575, wrote of a Mexican dish that combined seedless chipotles with beer: Chipotle Ale is based on Rogue’s Oregon Golden Ale, but delicately spiced with smoked chipotle chile peppers."

There never was the wild side, or the yearning for adventure. What good did it do? Sure, there were backpacks, and that night fleeing Chinese police at the Tibetan border, but that wasn’t wild. That was just living.

More goodness for warmer weather. By finding a substitute for tomato and red onion, this could even be made Heather-friendly… hmmm…

Forget cringe-busting — I’m going to put down my to-do list, and start my holiday weekend a touch early, stuff-to-do-outside-the-office-wise. There are posts set to go the next few days. I’ll putter around the apartment a bit, maybe cook a little. I’ll be thinking a lot about cars. I’ll be thinking more about having a cuppa coffee at The Fresh Pot in Portland’s Hawthorne District, or maybe some dessert at The Pied Cow over on Belmont. I’ll be thinking even more about indulging in Ethiopian food (for the first time ever) with Sam and Taylor this weekend.
And I shall see friends, and not type. I may not even check email… well, from Friday through Tuesday morning… Monday evening… Monday morning… er, something. All the ellipses are just the threat of withdrawal talking.
Much love and relaxation. If you aren’t having a 3-day weekend, I’ll try to enjoy mine a little extra for you. Or something like that.

"Cringe-busting" is an awesome way to put it.
I keep my to-do lists in the back of my pocket-sized notebook. It makes it heaps easier for me to keep track of all my to-do’s in one place, plus it’s easy to add. But the to-do lists keep outlasting the notebook — I fill up the pages with scribble, but there are still some things to take care of. And they’re always ones I cringe about.
If you know that feeling, 43 folders has 7 tips to help you bust the cringe:

Looks like I’ll be muscling through some grimaces this evening…

Making the place smell like a hippy den was the best part. No patchouli though. Never patchouli. So maybe not really a hippy den. Maybe an existentialist den. A thinker’s den. A coffee snob’s den – strike the match, fire up the espresso machine?

Being as my iTunes is still not copping on to actually, well, working, here’s a WinAmp workaround I’m going to try (might want to hurry, as Lifehacker points out, this widget could be shut down pretty quickly):

Think of it as a browser cage match. CNet put Internet Explorer 6, Firefox, Safari, Netscape 8, Opera 8 and Deepnet Explorer in a head to head. In short, Firefox won the championship belt, and Netscape and Safari tied for second.
Wanna see the full results? IE vs. the world: six Web browsers compared
Via: Firefox wins CNet’s heart : Lifehacker.
Notable quotable:
"Rapidly forcing IE from desktop dominance is Mozilla Firefox. This open-source browser receives our highest rating, in part because it includes tabbed browsing and RSS feeds, is very easy to use, and is well supported with a variety of third-party plug-ins. Firefox’s popularity has recently helped unearth a few vulnerabilities, but we’ve been impressed with the speed and forthrightness with which Mozilla has patched its browser. In short, we just don’t feel as vulnerable surfing the Web with Firefox."

In September, AntSaint will have been up for a year. It’s been heaps of fun so far, and I want to thank my 7 readers for their steadfast loyalty, even if it is a touch hard to understand why they keep coming back.
As the blog nears the year mark, I’m kicking around "what’s next". To-date there’s been a lot of links, with some commentary — the blog has been a peek into my interests and my take on them. Perhaps that’s a good direction to keep going in. Perhaps it’s time for more creative, original posts.
Don’t know yet. A lot to muddle.
7 readers: what would you like to see on here?
