Despite the fact that this week is "Spring Break" here on campus, today marks the fourth of five days that will culminate in a 4 o'clock meeting. What's up with that? With my aforementioned sleeping disorder, I'm not particularly attentive. Mostly I find myself attempting to stay awake and look attentive, while squirming constantly to try to sit in a position that doesn't incur the wrath of my broken lumbar. If you know nothing else about OHSU, know that they have bilked the community into building a sky tram to connect the current (on a hill) campus with the developing (waterfront) campus - currently at $50 million and counting - but 80% of the chairs in the main lecture hall are broken.
FYI "Spring Break" for me equates to "Showing up at 10". Mmmm vacation.
Beer review : New Belgium's "Skinny Dip" is apparantly just a different name for their "Loft". It's still not bad (light, malty, halfway between Sam Adam's Spring and Summer Ales) but I feel like I was fooled. Actually, I was. And seriously, it's still March. Can we get a moratorium on summer ales until Memorial day? If I start seeing Octoberfests in July, I'll be upset.
Actually, that won't happen, because no one in Oregon (well, very few) produce Octoberfests. They've also dismissed the Late Fall/Harvest and Late Winter/Bock seasons. So, there are 3-4 beer seasons here, versus 7-8 in New England. Disappointing, when you figure that there's a brewery on every street corner in town here.
Apparantly, baseball season starts this week. Look for a good "Science Guy" blog entry in the near future regarding steroids, etc.
Speaking of artificial, I miss Saturday morning cartoons as much for the cereal ads as the shows themselves. But I have to think there's an American Dental Association conspiracy with the big food companies. Marshmallows for breakfast? Seriously? Brilliant. What's great is that if you find a box of this stuff, even though it may be 20 years old, it's still edible, thanks to all the preservatives. Maybe a tad bit stale.
Dont they still manufacture this kind of breakfast cereal? they just claim its mulitgrain or some shit now lol!!!
ReplyDeleteThey do still make this type of cereal. (Not Yummy Mummy, but some of his homies like Count Chocula and Frankenberry) But I don't watch cartoons, so I'm less aware of what I should watch out for.
ReplyDeleteMultigrain Marshmallows would kick ass.
Tostitos just started making multigrain tortilla chips. If you've ever wondered what the offspring of a Tostito and a Wheat Thin would be like, this is the snack food for you.
