Um.. twenty something New Yorker (temporarily trapped in CT) interested in lots of things. I'm a fan of music, things off the beaten path, science, good people, laughing and having a good 'ole time. I'm sure you can get an idea from everything I've 'liked'
Thanks for visiting. Hope you enjoy or find something of interest.

A little word about beer..
it's fuckin' good.
As I sit here enjoy my quite slightly frozen Guinness draught in a bottle it really made me think about how much I do love beer; and I do. The reason I bought this six pack of bottles was because of a page I stumbled upon
headrambles.com/2007/10/10/how-to-survive-your-first-guinness/ [headrambles.com/2007/10/10/how-to-survive-your-first-guinness/] )
about how to order & drink Guinness in Ireland. Fascinating bit of crap you have to go through for a pint but still great all the same. Anyhoo, he described the event so well I realized I had never enjoyed a Guinness straight up, without being a black and tan with Bass Ale or the base of a Car Bomb alongside a hefty shot of Jameson and Bailey's. Even now, freezing my top lip, with the rocket widget barely doin it's magic... and yet it is still good. It's a dense flavor, kinda chocolatey .. kinda smokey. Sits on the tongue nicely, with a little bit of a twinge. And when correctly poured I think its quite full and fluffy as compared to other beers. Now I must say this is not nearly the way Id like to be enjoying a Guinness but I didn't feel like paying 5 dollars for A BEER, when I could pay 9$ (still I think thats expensive) for 6.
I like all different types of beer. In the light category I do fancy a Bud Light or Miller Lite.. I'm afraid of Sam light because I'll just stick with a regular Sam Boston. If I want the flavor, I can deal with the calories. As for the other two beers, party beers. If you can afford it, drinking game beers, imo. I think of them as full flavor lightish drinking beers that I really wouldn't consider to enjoy except maybe during the summertime in which a Bud Light by the pool is pretty damn refreshing, but usually I dont prefer a light to drink. Budweiser is about the lightest I'll go and for an inexpensive beer I really enjoy the flavor ( in bottle of course, I dont drink beer out of cans unless quite intoxicato)
But some lightish beers I do like are the Belgian White Ales .. like Blue Moon.. and my newly discovered Shock Top. These unfiltered wheat beauties pour a cloudy light orangish-yellow color. They are not too light but not heavy in body. Kinda citrusy to begin with, they are usually kicked up a notch with the addition of an orange or lime wedge. Shock Top is a great new one from Budweiser.. in which the citrusy orange, lemon lime flavors are already hinted in the beer. It even has specific pouring instructions on the bottle to get all the good flavors they throw in. For 6$ for a six pack I didn't think it a bad deal and it tasted even better than the price. A great refreshing beer.
And thus I think I shall end my small rant on beer. Happy drinking! :)
