Pan's Labyrinth is an amazing movie!

I know we are all happy the Bears won but ...

throwing yourself into to Lake Michigan in the middle of January and having to get the fire department to fish you out is not the best way to celebrate folks.

Hehe.

Brooklyn Brewery Beer hits the midwest

As I was walking to the 'el' this morning I walked past my favorite liquor store (okay, the last thing I bought there was a dozen eggs, but I digress) and I noticed a sign in the window announcing that they are now selling the aforementioned beer. However, when I went in this afternoon to buy a six-pack, I couldn't find it. I asked the guy behind the counter and he laughed and said incredulously "we sold out in one day, on a Tuesday, do you believe it". And to think, I was almost ready to forgive them for also selling that odious plague on humanity that isn't fit to be used as toilet paper for a rat, The New York Post (which they also started selling not to long ago for some inexplicable reason). I'll forgive them when I can get a six pack of Brooklyn goodness in my grubby paws, but not a moment before.
