Skyrims and CODs and Beers, Oh my!

From my dwelling, I did rise, drawing back the curtains, hit with surprise. The unfamiliar warmth of sun's natural light, and to behold, my land, in a winter's guise. How long have I been away!? Sheeeeeit. Anywho, sorry about my extended absence I have been completely emerged in Skyrim's splendor (go then, there are other worlds than these). Not only did I rave the lands with my traditional Nordic berserker: Hrothga'ar (I didn't know about High Hrothgar when I named him. Back off!), but I've been playing CoD:MW3 in every second of my preciously scarce free time. I am, as ashamed as I am to admit it, a prestige whore. I'm 3/4 of the way through 9th prestige, leaving only one more to be attained. This journey was less a fanboy thrill-ride, but more of a junkie's insane thrash about his house to find any remaining powder he left behind; I NEED MY FIX! If you've read the Dark Tower series you may compare 10th prestige to reaching the tower itself and finding the wonders residing in the room on the top floor. I am frickin Roland, and i will kill or ignore ALL the things to reach it. (If you haven't read it, either rent/buy it now or cast yourself into the nearest body of water wearing a backpack pull of bricks, and free the world of yet another pointless inhabitant.) *Disclaimer: writer may have intense biases*

Where were we? Oh yeah, as expansive a game that Skyrim is, coupled with the addictive properties of CoD:MW3, and keeping in mind I have a job and fiancee to weigh me down, AND my need to *try* to find time to make my WoW subscription worthwhile, I haven't posted in a while. But great news my Ka-tet: The darthy One and I have successfully brewed 5 gallons of Imperial India Pale Ale using a recipe entirely our own. We just bottled it, leaving a couple few weeks to carbonate itself. From what I sampled, it will be amazing. Special thanks to the Brewfather for his contributions. Quick suggestions kiddies: if you like chemistry, drinking, and being awesome, you may want to look into homebrewing for yourselves :)

Speaking of beer, if you live in the wondrous state of Michigan and find yourself on the west side, hit up the Michigan Beer Cellar. Stellar beer, great barkeeps, and the best freakin smoked cheddar sandwich I have ever had the privilege of ingesting. I wish I had another one RIGHT NOW!

That's about all I have for you this time, but on a final note: **** SOPA! Dafuq are they trying to do to my interwebs? Wikipedia black out? *Ultra-Gib mode activated*

Here I am blogging when there are dragons to kill, noobs to pwn, and science to do! Ta ta faithful readers and remember: A chaste life of discipline and sobriety is a life wayyyy too long to live.
