Froyd's Rants

We bottled the mead tonight, got about a case of it, give or take 6 oz.

Now, I’ve done some reading, this quick mead recipe seems pretty good as far as bottling and then drinking goes. One of the other quick mead recipes I saw recommended drinking it within 10 days. I’ll know fo’ sho’ about that next wednesday when we sample this stuff. It should be good. There was a little experiment with this batch as well, figuring out how much sugar for what kind of carbonation within it.

Also, for anyone interested(and anyone who has any extra 2 litre bottles, and a few large pots/pans) there’s a mead recipe that I found that has a 5 day turnaround. I figure December 19th or 20th would be a good day to start it up.

And I want a very large batch of it for Froydstravaganza Pt 2.

If the norwegians thought that the mead hangover was too much for a mortal frame, well hell. I’m-a just gonna have to prove I’m not mortal.

I just ordered a user manual and a service manual for my typewriter.

Now maybe I can straighten some things out on the ol’ beast.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Goodbye doesn’t mean forever. Close the chapter on an old situation, and a new level of freedom and energy takes hold. A fabulous offering is presented to you before the sun goes down.

oooo! Fabulous offering!

ROCK!

went really well today.

I’m relatively impressed by the ability of everyone in class to get involved with them, even on topics which no one really knows about.

Very good times.

Ok, so the day started out ok. Made it to school by 10, was working on my rhetrical homework. Class is cancelled.

Woohoo, as listed below. That just set the entire amount of events of today in a confusing spiral.

So instead of doing rhetrical stuff, I worked on my master’s thesis. 6 pages of typewriter pages written today. That’s double what I consider to be a good day. Usually I can do 3, and then I have to stop. But more than that today.

After that, I went over to TrekNorth High School to visit an old teacher friend from High School. I had run into him at a bar last Friday, with my friend Hanson(who was also in his class), which made things very synchronistic if you will. He said I should stop by TrekNorth(the school he started and currently teaches at).

I went in the wrong entrance(that was supposed to be locked(it wasn’t(it just opened up, I swear it))) and set off the alarm. I mentioned that perhaps a sign should be on there that says use the other door. They said there was a sign there. I pointed out that it was facing in rather than out. Then they were really perplexed because I was able to enter in that door. *shrug*

Anyway, all this was because I was told by my friend that I should stop by and talk to him about setting up a trivia team tonight at Brigid’s. So I was going to talk to him about that, but he was in class, so I scrawled out a note and told him to call me. Just as I was going to give the note to a student to give to him, he comes out and talks for a while.

Then he offers me a job supervising study hall for next semester.

Undoubtedly the strangest job offer I’ve ever received.

it’s been an…interesting day.

Woohoo! Class cancelled!

That ROCKS.

now I’m going to sit here, whip out the typewriter and get some more writing done.

December is right around the corner…and you should know what that means:

Froydstravaganza Month!

That’s right, once again the Day of Infamy rolls around celebrating again the birth of the Froyd© onto this mortal coil. Once again the Baby New Year requires some drunken revelry to make sure that it starts out great.

This will be the 5th Annual Froydstravaganza! Part 1 is the celebration of my birth, part 2 is the celebration of the year’s birth.

This year, for part 1, those who join in the festivities will receive t-shirts! I’m thinking the first 25 people to show up will receive one commemorating the event. They’ll read, hopefully, something along these lines:
5th Annual Froydstravaganza Pt 1: Momma Told Me Not to Come!

So, without further ado, the dates:

Froydstravaganza Pt. 1: Friday, December 9th, 2005.
Froydstravaganza Pt. 2: Saturday, December 31st, 2005.

so, if you read this blog and could possibly make one(or two!), it’ll be a blast.
