Sequoia Brewing Company-February

5 applications ready to go to the State Center Community College District. Now that I have an MA, it's time to look for a new job. See the big dude over there? First chair harmonica player. Seems like a decent guy. I've played music with him, but never spoken to him; one of those deals where you pretend you don't see each other and therefore never have to suffer through and awkward discussion.

Sequoia Brewing Company-February

I'm sitting at the bar. My IPA is craining its neck to check out the tall, cleavagey gal behind me. Good IPA. Hard to see, but that countertop off her right hip? I can slouch that and rest my elbow on it comfortably and I'm 6'1". Turns out she and the rest of her busty, ruben-esque friends are roller derby chicks. Real Queens of the Amazon.

Sequoia Brewing Company-December 2007

Changing the date format up a bit as I really can't seem to get my days straight. I've written about the dude on the right before, but he's reentered the radar of my IPA. This poor guy hasn't caught on to the fact that hip-hop has lost its 'universal cool factor.' Even more outdated is the 'white guy acting all black' scene. Is that all? I thought you'd never ask...try one of two sports outfits (you'll never guess): Raiders during football season, Dodgers during baseball. Strikes me as kind of an all around California dude. Except that he's about 40 years old, dresses and talks like a gangster, drinks microbrew beer and is white.

Other than that, it's all the same.

Meeting up with Laura for a pint to hear of the exploits and world travels of a former student. She intends to be a writer. And who, do you suppose, inspired her to do that? That's right, my IPA. It's instructional creative and social in a caring sort of way...a lot like me. Maybe it should be a high school English teacher.

Just when I thought I was out, I pulled me back in. Working on the third chapter of my thesis for submission to the American Literature Association conference. Oh yeah...it's that exciting. "Waiter, 2 more IPA's please."

Sequoia Brewing Company 1/10

See the vast, desolate wasteland of a table? Almost nothing as far as the eye can see...that would be because my thesis is finished. Bit of a celebration pint or two. Think of my IPA as a kind of crystal ball: I seem more postings (beer drinking) in your future. Start saving your money duhliterate...start saving your money.
