Yup. An enema will make you go go!
Chris having some free time this weekend, we decided to check out the Koko Crater rim trail. The man who put the bug into my brain couldn’t make it so it was just the two of us parking at the botanical garden. This isn’t an official sanctioned trail so you wont find any marker. Suffice it to say that as soon as we turned left through the plumeria we were heading the wrong way. A pit stop at a stinky porta potty and it was looking pretty obvious this wasn’t going the way we wanted. We turned around and took the path less travelled.

Latest SA seasonal, pours a somewhat cloudy yellow with fairly strong head that quickly subsides. Faint floral with a citrusy brightness. A little bitterness comes through, but not strong and does not linger long. I can detect a touch of skunkiness that I did not taste in the first bottle I had a couple days ago. Carbonation is not too strong, mouth feel actually a touch heavier than I would have expected from a beer of this color, but not heavy by any means. A very easy drinking beer. Oddly this second bottle doesn’t fill me with as much joy as the first one I had. I was almost ready to give the first bottle a 4, I really can’t now. Hm, actually seems better as I get near the bottom of the glass and it has warmed up a touch. It will have to settle for a solid 3 of 4 Alpine monkeys.
There are a couple of new shows running on Funimation’s site too. Like some of the other properties they stream there, they may or may not produce retail DVD or BD products of these shows. Read on! Continue reading ‘Yet More 2013 Post-New-Year Season Anime’
Yah! Power outage! Good thing I finished my bike ride, although it’d be kinda neat to ride around without any city lights. Wonder what the heck the cause is, no rain, no wind, very nice night actually. I wonder if I walk down to Bubbies they’ll give free ice cream! Looks like the UPS I just bought recently works too!
OK, it came back on as I was standing outside looking at the night sky. I see someone hiking down the Koko Crater stairs, wow that’s pretty late! I was just about to go raid the fridge and grab a bear and sit out in the driveway sky gazing. Oh well, guess I’ll grab a beer and watch anime on the computer instead!
Huh, what? Apparently “dead cat” is an industry term, much like Monkey Sh*t. It’s those furry microphone wind muff screens. I was browsing Amazon and came across one for the GoPro on sale. However $10 seemed a bit much so I decided to make one myself. The hardest part was sourcing the synthetic fur. The lady at Calico Cat in Kaimuki said she had some, but when I went to look it was really short pile stuff. BTW, if you’re into knitting and fabric stuff, you should stop in there, she’s a really nice lady. What to do? Continue reading ‘GoPro Dead Cat’
A few shows are returning after the New Year programming hiatus, and some new fill-in shows have started popping up. Here are some brief reviews after the page break: Continue reading ‘More 2013 Post-New-Year Anime’
Pours a moderate dark brown, moderate head that quickly goes away. Roasty aroma, but not strong, nutty tones, well tempered finish, a bit of lingering bitter. Smooth mouth feel, but not heavy syrupy. An easy quaffing beer.
Solid 3 out 4 touch of wheat monkeys.
Pours clear medium amber, small head, light carbonation. Aroma is bam, floraly hops! Can smell it before even taking a taste. Flavor wise the hops is dominant, however not skunky. There is a bit of light roasty malt in the middle, strong lingering bitter finish. Mouth feel is medium, there is a touch of syrupy feel, but not objectionable. For how hoppy it is, I don’t find it offensive, however the bitter is a bit too much for me. I can drink it, but want strong food to go with it. On its own it’s a bit hard for me to drink. Oh, and it’s not my imagination, this does pack a bit of buzz, over 7% ABV is higher than your average beer.
2 out 4 hoppy monkeys.
Dang, at this Sundays auto-x I saw the potential of the car. A Subaru version running in my class, only change was race compound tires, was driven by one of the top drivers during fun runs. He turned in a awesome time of 40 seconds and change. More than six seconds faster than my best time and would have been in the top tiers of entire field, top ten and just besting the GT-R!
Now all I got to do is buy a set of tires, and a big box of skill. 6 seconds over 40 is huge, it’ll take way more than just tires to make up for that! I did spring for a day of the Evolution driving class in two weeks, too bad I can’t really afford the full weekend.
