Today's beverage: Fat Bastard Shiraz 2006

Fat Bastard Shiraz 2006

I got it at Top Shelf on my way home from work along w/ a bottle of Fat Bastard Merlot. It was 2 for $20. I usually don't have much to complain about w/ red wine. Merlot is my favorite but I've been doing shiraz lately. It's not bad and a good price for picking it up in Beacon Hill. Plus it goes great w/ my fav Chef's Tofu from King and I.

(Hey, if you search Google for Top Shelf Beacon Hill you get RobReed's Google Maps tutorial stuff. Haha!)

If you haven't read my posts from the beginning...

you should.

For some reason you can still access my old original posts all the way back to August 2002 when I started vet school. You can click through the calendar in the left sidebar, though some of the posts are unreadable because that sidebar is overlapping the text. Too bad because some of those days had great stuff (like when Rich came to visit for my b-day Oct 2002).

The header of the blog says year 2 but if you start in 2002 that's really year 1. Each year the header was changed along w/ the animal.

I have another bunch of posts at

http://vetschool.heathermartin.net/weblog/

UPDATED This site works now. Guess rr stopped playing Guitar Hero.

You can also see some pics too, not all the links work but several do.

Today's Favorite Song: Courage (For Hugh MacLennan)

Brings back some good memories from undergrad at UB. the Tragically Hip performed on campus one year.

Watch the band through a bunch of dancers
Quickly, follow the unknown with something more familiar
Quickly something familiar
Courage, my word it didn't come it doesn't matter

Sleepwalk, so fast asleep in a motel
that has the lay of home and piss on all of your
background and piss on all your surroundings
Courage, my word, it didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, your word, it didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, my word, it didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, it couldn't come at a worse time

So there's no simple explanation
for anything important any of us do
and yea the human tragedy
consists in the necessity
of living with the consequences
under pressure, under pressure
Courage, my word, it didn't come, it doesn't matter,
Courage, your word, it didn't come, it dosen't matter,
Courage, my word, it didn't come, it dosen't matter
Courage, it couldn't come at a worse time,
It couldn't come at a worse time,
It couldn't come at a worse time
Courage

Chimps can stay at Haven

They won't get the boot back to research with the Chimp Haven is Home Act.

Regardless, Poor Chimps!

and this, out of Paris, is just whack.

I've been so caught up in 'other' things I haven't been paying attention: SU, KU

I guess first off can you believe that KU won the Orange Bowl last night? When I was at KSU (2002-06), KU was a joke, like our (KSU) basketball team was to theirs (KU). How quickly things change.

Anyway, I've forgotten about my Orangemen and conference play has started up. Gotta get back into it!

We're 11-3 with a 1-0 conference record so far. Not a bad start.

Bad news. Devendorf is out. A couple years ago I wouldn't have thought I'd care. Now I'm definitely bummed about it.

I can't imagine Orange Basketball w/out Jimmy B. Can we just not talk about it?

Tomorrow we have S. Florida and I probably won't get to see it. Watch online I suppose.

Go SU!
