November Brain
Outside, it's in the forties and raining. I look at the weather outside today and all I can think about is how happy Axl and Stephanie Seymour seemed together, but then the same vengeful god who is holding America hostage hit Stephanie with a lightning bolt or piece of wedding cake or whatever and killed the shit out of her ON HER OWN WEDDING DAY NO LESS!! And then Slash shreds the solo in front of the old church and they all go to Stephanie Seymour's funeral and they can only show half of her face because god KILLED THE SHIT out of her. Jesus Christ, that video was over ten minutes long!! It had a full orchestra!! That cock-rocker with the perm was conducting!! Why, god, why!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Cold November Rain!!
I'm trying to avoid talking politics until I can quit whining and come up with someothing genuinely constructive/productive to yammer about. I haven't brewed any beer in far too long, but, rest assured, it is in the crosshairs. I haven't torn down and rebuilt anything in my house in a while either, unless you count the piles of firewood outside. High School drumline is over. Outdoor yardwork is winding down.
Yet, I don't seem to be getting any less busy. I'm going to the Earl tonight to see a movie that I'm in. I'm in very few scenes because I kept stealing the shit out of the show every time I stepped in front of the camera. Tomorrow night is dinner with Geester Seester and the rest of the fam. Saturday is Georgia/Auburn and all the drunken revelry that will accompany it. And on Sunday I'm not allowed to do shit because THE BIBLE SAYS SO, JACKASS!! And that's just this weekend. On top of that, we are heading into the holiday season, which means the din of activity will only crescendo until January 5th or 6th. Honestly, I love every minute of it, but one needs to step back and read the gauges on the dashboard of one's life, all the while asking, "Can one use the pronoun 'one' 5 times in one sentence?"
This isn't really going anywhere so I'm just going to stop.
Posted by tony at November 11, 2004 11:01 AMThe last sentence is nice. Brew some more beer, but this time don't make it all funky and Americanized. Stick to the basics, man. You'll get better results and then you will brew beer more often.
I wish I could brew, but I can't get no supplies over here. I mostly stick to wine to be safe. Right now I am drinking 1664, which is about the worst beer ever brewed on the planet earth...hey, I have an idea. I'm-a-gonna put some lime juice in this piss. I think that's what one does in Mexico. Keep yer fingers crossed.
By the way: cross-airs, not crosshairs. What are crosshairs? Is that the babies of two different breeds of rabbit? No, I guess that would be cross-hares.
On second thought maybe I'll skip the lime and pour this sorry excuse down the drain.

Posted by: cool at November 11, 2004 06:02 PMAccording to Merriam-Webster, a crosshair is "a fine wire or thread in the focus of the eyepiece of an optical instrument used as a reference line in the field or for marking the instrumental axis"
According to Google.com, "crosshairs" comes back with 280,000 results. "Cross-airs"" comes back with 104 and the query "Did you mean: crosshairs"
But hey, whatever.
My God! All the repressed memories of youthful turmoil and angst washed over me at once when you mentioned Stephanie Seymour. How I loved her so. Must wash them away with cheap beer and movie trivia now.
